Compared with Abbas' "Rhythm of Ten Lives", this film has many more shots from different perspectives, including rear seat shots, front windshield shots, etc., which also makes the film have a more obvious feature film imprint. Due to the increase in the number of shots, the scenes have also increased, and it is no longer just a single recording of the dialogue and behavior of the driver's seat and the passenger seat. And the director Jaffa himself played himself, just like a movie reality show. Through the identity, behavior, discourse, belief, etc. of different passengers, the film shows the collision of the living conditions and values of the Iranian people, and finally the indictment of the political status quo.
First, a man and a woman debated whether the thief should be hanged in the front and back seats. It was a conversation between hardliners and moderates. Of course, this debate would not be fruitful, it would only make each other more hate each other. This is followed by a dwarf man who sells pirated CDs, who knows Jaffa and starts a conversation, carrying a man injured in a car accident and his grieving wife. The dwarf man took his mobile phone and recorded the last words of the man in the car accident, such as the issue of inheritance distribution and so on. If he didn't take the initiative to distribute the inheritance, her wife would get only a few turkeys and be homeless, so the car accident man gave the entire inheritance to his wife and warned the brothers not to disturb her wife. The low status of women in Iran is evident in this passage. Then came the witty moment of the dwarf man, he told the client who bought the disc that director Jaffa was his partner, and he managed to sell a lot more pirated discs than ever before... Of course he finally arrived After the destination, he apologized to Jafar in embarrassment. The funniest person in the entire film is undoubtedly Jaffa's niece, who is pretty much the funniest and cutest child character I've ever seen. Because Jaffa was late to pick her up from school, and Jaffa driving a taxi to pick her up made her feel ashamed, so she started the shattering mode, and she always emphasized what to do if she was kidnapped, Jia Fa believes that no kidnapper can endure her random thoughts... The niece wanted to make a short film, and the camera kept pointing at Jaffa. During the filming, the niece read aloud the rules to be followed in the film: respect for Islamic women's headscarves, and no physical contact between men and women. , avoid violence, avoid nice people wearing ties, avoid political and economic issues, etc., and most ironically, avoid dirty realities. The lady who finally got on the bus was suave and suave. She had her lawyer license revoked. She revealed the high-pressure ZZ environment in Iran and the way ZF's struggle to control and buckle the hat in all directions. How familiar and kind, this is the filthy reality, So she reminded Jaffa to cut her words out of the movie before she left, or she'd be out of luck... The niece's school teacher asked her to shoot the real reality, but if the real reality is dirty and dark, then don't shoot it, this paradox The rule of thumb is filthy reality.
