None of these films will be broadcast in Iran. Robbers, bicycle accidents. cd, Rory is forced to pay. The little girl sent a short video, and also asked that men and women should not have inappropriate communication, that they should not use Iranian names for good people and use Islamic saints’ names, avoid violence, avoid cold realism, and not lead good people. Avoid discussing political and economic topics. The teacher said that if we encounter something problematic, we should use our own judgment to decide whether to condemn it. If we can make him appear as a good person in the movie, we have to transform him from head to toe, do you mean to make him a new person from scratch? Change his name to Islamic, take off the tie, he doesn't have a beard, but we can add a moustache to him. Because people who love movies are trustworthy. Treat you as a spy, put a charge of moral corruption on you, and after you are released, there will be a bigger cage outside, they will turn your best friend into your enemy, or you will flee (escape from Tehran), or else You have to be locked in again, so my advice is to go with the flow. Better not put my words in your movie. They will call you cold realism, and they will trouble you more. She said to be realistic, but not particularly realistic. She said if reality is dark and dirty, don't show it. I can't tell the difference, what is reality and what isn't, I really can't tell. Like I just said, what can't be said or can't be shown.

Taxi quotes

  • Nasrin Sotoudeh: They work in a way that let us to know they are watching us.Their tactics are obvious.First, they write you up a police record. Suddenly, you are accused of being an agent for Mossad, The CIA, or MI6. Then they tack on something about your morals, your lifestyle. They make your life into a prison.Although you are released from prison, but the outside world is only a bigger prison.They make your nearest friends into your worst enemies.After that you think all you can do is either leave the country or pray to return to that hole. So i think it's better to let it go.

  • Jafar Panahi: Those films are already made, those books are already written. You have to look elsewhere, you have to find it for yourself.
