In our impression, Iran is a closed society, with various rules and regulations that shackle people's behavior. Such a society should be gray and lifeless. But the film "Taxi" presents the audience with a vivid picture of the market. We can feel all kinds of tangible and intangible restrictions from the film, and we can also see that anger breeds in such a society, but in such a harsh society, small people also have their own wisdom in life and are also pursuing freedom. life. You can surround the borders to limit people's freedom, but you can't put an end to the yearning for freedom in people's hearts. Freedom is like the wind passing through the wall from all sides, blowing every soul that longs for freedom; it is also like the seed suppressed by the boulder, it will always flourish from the cracks.

Witnessing the Iranian society with a mobile taxi, although the political meaning is very strong, but the mentality of having fun in hardship is very good.

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.
