This little protagonist, Mazan, is a heartless and outspoken person. Born into an intellectual family in Iran, when he was young, he was catching up with the political changes of the domestic religious revolution, and the society was becoming dull and closed. In order to let Mazan maintain his own nature Peace of mind, her parents sent her to study in Austria, from a solemn oriental country, to the world of flowers where play is paramount. Mazan encountered the "punk spirit", fell into a fascination with a new life, and also felt an identity crisis. After experiencing a broken relationship, Mazan returned home to Iran with a broken heart. At this point she was in her early 20s. Back home, Mazan couldn't find the feeling of her hometown. There is still an air of lethargy in Iran. Mazan felt out of place. Fortunately, her family, especially her grandmother, are all people who have comprehension about life and can soothe her grief from time to time. Returning to Iran, Mazan experienced marriage, but still could not bear the life around her, and finally divorced. In the end, I had to lift the footsteps of running away again and head towards France. I never saw my wise and kind grandmother again. There is no doubt that this girl is still thinking about life issues. Because, if it weren't for that, there wouldn't be comics and movies like this.
From a simple point of view, this movie is the growth history of a girl, like "The House on Mango Street", "A Man's Good Weather", and so on. Looking deeper, it is oriental culture narrated by video. This oriental culture is based on a global perspective or is based on Western culture. How to realize identity? How to resolve the communication crisis? In this sense, the strength of this cartoon is no less than the writing of the Saids and Pamuks. More veiled, however, are the political issues that the film seeks to address directly, like a Bob Dylan song, where he sings his heart but also his thoughts. Expresses thoughts on politics and human nature. I don't know Iran's political background and social reality, but the spirit of "revolution first" reflected in this film seems familiar to me. All contrary thoughts and actions will be rejected and severely punished. What exactly is a "revolution" and what is a "counter-revolution" is, in my opinion, a bit of a tangle. I don't want to spend too much brain power on issues like this. I just know that the only truth in this world is that there is no absolute truth. It is wrong to treat others or the people with absoluteness. I don't know why some video materials or text materials are banned. In fact, when a reasonable person sees them, they will realize that this is not only one fault, but almost every participant should take responsibility. . Although thousands of people swarmed up with an irresponsible attitude and then dispersed, attitudes are just attitudes and do not determine the facts. Being irresponsible does not mean not being responsible. I understand that at this moment, my speech is incoherent, because the occasional flash of heaviness in this lovely black and white animated film reminds me of the summer so far and so close to me.
