A childish movie by a childish director

Originally, I went to see this film for the purpose of understanding Iran, but in the end I found out that it was just a propaganda film in line with Western tastes.

Of course, everyone has some ideas of their own. However, the advantage of a director is that he can express his point of view through a film, so that people with the same taste can be comforted and gathered. From this point of view, it is also involved in politics.
It is also from this perspective that filmmaking needs to be strictly controlled.

The most ridiculous is the last rose plot, which makes it a bit color revolution. This is probably the director's favorite place, but it's the most boring.

Regardless of the director's original intentions, regardless of the film's admirers, this film is a farce. Waste of money, that's all.

If you go to see the outside world more and learn more about the former Soviet Union and the various places where the color revolution took place, the director will not be so naive. Even if he wins a Solzhensky-like Nobel Prize, he brings nothing more than a mess to his country.

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.
