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.

    Interesting, spiritual, and audio-visual. While Iran can make such a good movie, China always puts the blame on censorship, which is unscientific.

    Moving Ark, another movie that arrogantly tries to pay tribute to all his works, but doesn't have the rhythm of Abbas Zhuyu's predecessor, Panasi still likes to create shapes, but I think the better films in Iran are witnessing those shapeless, ready to Recommended to the editors and directors of our eight-seat high-IQ column "Taxis for Primary School Students", but they may only love "Taxi Express".
