Djinn, like the wind, is everywhere. As long as there is fear and anxiety, it will exist!

This is a paragraph describing the Djinn in the film. The whole film does not have too many scenes of the spirit body at the beginning. , the first paragraph started around the war and historical background, and the style of the film began to slowly change until the missile appeared.

As for the background of this film, it was the time of the Tehran war, and everyone was in panic and chaos.

The heroine in the film seems to be unable to graduate because she has participated in politics and the like, and is engaged in the profession of a doctor. As a result, the heroine has been very irritable and uneasy. At this time, her husband was conscripted to serve as a soldier, leaving only the heroine and her daughter. Immediately afterwards, after the missile came, the daughter's doll disappeared, and the daughter began to have a fever and various supernatural horrors happened.

In fact, this film may not have the so-called evil spirits and demons, but more of the shadows brought by the war. The heroine's husband said that the heroine would sleepwalk when she was uneasy. The death of her mother, the failure of her career, and the departure of her husband all brought the heroine to the brink of collapse.

In a missile attack, the heroine, who originally wanted to be a doctor, failed to save her neighbor's father's life in a rescue, and her inner self-blame and anxiety aggravated her sleepwalking. Maybe the daughter's doll was hidden in the room with the missile during the heroine's sleepwalking, so the daughter would want to run to that room to get the doll back.

The flying human-shaped sheet is more of a satire on Tehran's feudalism and feudal ideology. When the heroine was extremely frightened and ran to the street, she might be whipped because she did not wear a headscarf, which shows that Tehran's feudalism towards women Constraints are scary. Tehran belongs to Iran, Iran believes in Islam, and Islam believes that a woman's exposed skin and face will tempt the sins of the world, so to wrap it in a hijab is to desecrate yourself, and it is equivalent to walking naked on the street. Islam's imprisonment of women has always made most young women live in an environment of inferiority and oppression. Even in hot summer, women have to wear robes and turbans, otherwise they will think that you are seducing others and blaspheming Allah will be punished. severe punishment. Iran is actually a place of religious rule, and the police on the street will punish you for not wearing a scarf as required, even if you are a tourist.

In the film, the giants are more satirical about the pain and inner pain caused by politics and war to the people at that time, losing their families and fleeing their homes. These griefs are always with me like shadows.

The heroine's book at the end indicates that all dreams and ambitions will be wiped out in the war era; while the daughter's doll head is more a herald of the harm caused by the war to the child. Djinn is more a symbol of people with high power, because political struggles make people live in dire straits.

The wounds of war and the smoke of gunpowder are everywhere, and only in peace can there be no giant spirits.

There is a middle-aged and elderly naked man in the film. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that this man is more like the dead father of the heroine's neighbor! Perhaps the inner unease of the heroine has caused serious hallucinations.

There is also a mute boy in the film. In fact, he is not really mute! It was just that the battle took away his parents. Under the great stimulation, he may have autism and does not like to talk. Confirming the speculation of the po master, the giants represent the top people in politics and war injuries.


Po mainly went to eat, because I was in a hurry when I watched it near one o'clock last night, and I was very busy today and didn't have time to do more detailed analysis, but I hope I can bring you a different angle to watch this film, many of which are in the text It's the po master's bold guess, I hope someone who likes this film can discuss it with the po master~~~
