Farhadi's works in 2006, and later on about Yili, a parting in the same line,
or a stranger breaking into a complicated "circle", the rippling
judgment of Farhadi is always lingering. The


following excerpts are from memento Interview on DVD:


In Iran, since a long time ago,
on New Year's Eve, we celebrate the Shah Al-Chambesuri festival
. The "Fire Festival" is held on the last Tuesday of each year.
This festival has existed before Islam.
In recent years, people The festival is celebrated on a larger scale than before.
Fire has a very important place.
This festival illustrates how closely fire is tied to the history of our country.
But in recent years, the nature of this festival has changed.
Celebrations in a way
This non-Islamic festival was crowded out by the government for a
while, and people celebrated this festival on a larger scale to express their dissatisfaction.
During the festival, Tehran was like a city in the midst of war, and explosions were heard everywhere. The acoustic

festival plays a variety of roles in the film.
First of all, it shows the mental state of the characters. It
is also found in some of my characters. The

tension in this chaotic festival also reflects the mental state of the heroine of the film
. A sense of security
She seeks inner peace The
outer atmosphere triggers her unease

The festival kicks off symbolically with small gestures
such as in the first act, the hero lights his cigarette on a gas stove
We can still see the neighbor Forgot the lighter at home
I am ambushing symbolic sparks in many places

Q: One of the things about this movie that strikes Eastern audiences is the way you describe social class.

I was born and raised in this country.
I feel like I know these people, no matter what class they are,
just use the details to recreate
Iran . The social reality of these characters is a tactic
. The social class of these characters does not represent their economic status.
This is just a cultural phenomenon.
I design my characters with this cultural code.

I want to describe the middle class because it is the most common in our country. I also belong to
this class, so I know it well, and I can better describe its daily conflict

Q: We are discovering a middle-class world through the eyes of a young woman.

I'm not interested in the distinctions between classes either
. Instead of talking about a girl who just got married and another going through her marriage disintegration
I'm most interested in
showing the 24 hour life of a couple
I want to show that life through the eyes of a stranger in
this house Everything was new to her.
Seeing a life from a stranger's perspective
made my camera curious
as well as my characters.

Q: When you decide how you want to position the camera, how do the actors When moving, did you also decide how to edit?

I think the most important thing is that other people don't feel the presence of the camera. The
second principle is that the camera can't have an attitude of disapproval or approval of any one character.

In some scenes, the audience will see something that guides us around the room. The suspense of what the protagonist can't see is
created because the audience walks in front of the girl and they want to know how she will react
It's a dramatic technique that I use a lot, which allows me to create suspense.
This dramatic technique is based on whether the audience and the protagonist participate in certain scenes
. Another advantage is that it allows the audience to make relative evaluations
if you look at it from various angles. Let the audience watch the scene and they will make an objective assessment
but in life we ​​always make comments based on an incomplete perspective

we don't see reality, we think we see
but it's something

else At the
beginning of the movie is perspective themed we see a woman suspicious of her husband
we think she is cranky and she is vulnerable
Then in another scene we see the man in the empty seat we thought the car We're one
step closer to this couple's life.
We see that in this woman it's not crazy, her husband did betray her.
If the audience feels these characters are close to them and think they're just like them,
it's probably because of them . Witnessing important moments in the characters' lives, the
characters show us more and allow us to understand them better It was with the maid at the beginning and it got stuck in the wheel of a motorbike and made the heroine fall down and then the hijab entered the room with her and was later leaked here another heroine of the movie Mojid borrowed it in disguise and intervened in a street fight during a date between her unfaithful husband and a female neighbor, and lost the hijab again. From here on out, the maid couldn't wear it anymore . Scared because she's worried her fiancé will suspect that her hijab has a parallel with some of the characters











They disappeared in the movie.
Others wondered what happened to

Rui who was about to get married. She changed not only in appearance, but also in her heart. Losing her
hijab, changing her face, shaving her eyebrows, It also changed her personality.
She came to the house at 20, but by the time she left where she worked at night she looked more mature.

Q: It's funny, I often get the feeling that you're very focused" The adjectives "rumor"

come from "judgment."
We make judgments while watching a movie.
First, men judge others, women judge their husbands, men judge their lovers,
and young women who are about to get married judge a couple.
But the most important judgments are people's judgments of us, neighbors, friends, colleagues...
People often want to control other people's judgments about themselves
want to control other people's judgments There is a word called: honesty
control other people's judgments It is very complicated and even painful in the palm of your hand.
Sometimes you want to control the judgment of others, and the issue of honesty
will become an obsession, hindering our freedom of life.
We have been monitoring our own words and deeds, and sometimes even violated My Will

Q: I think you mainly used satire in this film.

There are scenes that make people laugh, or at least make the audience smile.
This smile is the fruit of satire.
The theme of the film is shame and
the taboo of clothes. , the veil, the trust between husband and wife, and the suspicion that may arise
suddenly, we see the protagonist of the advertiser playing the spotlight where
he hides a strand of little girl's hair
because he can't offend the audience who sees the spotlight
can't give them set a bad example

Q: You want to tell us not to do things we don't want to do

I think...
What I want to say is...
it's impossible not to judge, it doesn't make sense
but know that our judgement is not absolute
