imprisoned country

Through dialogue and pseudo-documentary, we see the life of that country and the people in that environment.

A smiling waiter in a convenience store can turn into a robber in a blink of an eye, and still his face remains unchanged. A middle-aged man who hails a taxi on the side of the road, can have a wanton discussion of applauding the death penalty, but he is a thief and so on.

The characters in the taxi constantly reflect other personalities, turning into a kind of black humorous satire

in such an environment of losing freedom, poverty, and being monitored at any time. If you want to watch foreign movies, you can only buy discs secretly, and you want to make movies. The students of the show have lost the power of imagination under countless strict regulations, and the director of the play has no freedom to accept the award even after winning the award.

The special shooting method, on the contrary, reflects the misery of such a country more realistically.

How far are those who try to resist, and can those oppressed wills be able to strike back?

There is no answer. It's as if at the end of the movie, the video that was finally completed was stolen by the surveillance people, every step is so difficult.

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.
