The first time I watched a horror movie from a Middle Eastern country; the first horror movie with a small war as the background; the first time I listened to a horror movie in Persian, it was a new experience, just beginning I'm also worried about whether the language problem will affect the understanding of the film.
The film gives me more of a spiritual bondage, depression and anxiety. Women who have grown up in Muslim culture since childhood have become timid and inferior under pressure from the outside world and questioned by men. In addition to the behavioral constraints brought about by Muslim culture, there are also mental and psychological depression and helplessness. However, this kind of After the psychology is infinitely amplified by the fear of war, the impact is undoubtedly devastating.
Alright, let's start the story. .
At the beginning of the film, the heroine returns to her alma mater. Although she is a mother, she still hopes to continue her studies and become a doctor. The school rejected her request because the heroine was keen on political revolutionary activities. Very frustrated, because it was her mother's last wish, and she was still brooding about it, and even went home and had a big fight with her husband, blaming him for ruining her future.
Later, because of the war, her husband was recruited to serve as a soldier. Before leaving, she advised the heroine to take the child to leave here and go to his mother. As a woman in the new era, the heroine is avant-garde and independent, and she firmly believes that she can protect herself and her. Child, stay here stubbornly.
One night, because she was frightened, the hostess hurriedly ran out of the apartment with her child in her arms. She was stopped by an approaching police car. The police detained her and said she ran out without a hood and her clothes were disheveled. will be whipped.
When someone knocked on the door to visit, the hostess hurriedly put away the fitness video tape, and carefully hid it, put on a robe, and put on a headscarf before going to the door to meet people. Both shots reflect the domination of women by Muslim culture.
The departure of her husband, the air-raid alarm that always sounded suddenly, and the ghosts frequently mentioned in her daughter's mouth made the originally confident heroine begin to wonder if she really couldn't protect her children and whether she really wanted to leave here. Until that day, the ghost began to appear. It was a woman in a huge black robe, but couldn't see her face. It said that it was going to take away the daughter of the heroine. I think this is the demon who was magnified by the war, ghost. The image of her represents not only women in Muslim culture, but also people's fear and fear of war, which took away her lover and her daughter. In the end, the heroine couldn't bear this horror any longer, and left here with the child. It's actually a bit sad to talk about it here, because it also means that women still succumb to this kind of power and pressure, admit their vulnerability, and seem to be vulnerable. Temporarily escaped the shadows, but when will the psychological shadows dissipate?
On September 22, 2015, Iran held a grand military parade to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War. . Up to now, the Middle East is still in a state of war and chaos due to religious conflicts, ethnic differences and border disputes, and terrorism is rife.
In the past two years, the West has always criticized Muslim culture, especially the control of women, saying that it is a kind of ignorance, ignorance, and backward thinking, which is contrary to the modern open society and greatly restricts the spiritual freedom of women. . However, the Islamic-dominated Middle East countries have always adhered to the moral etiquette and code of conduct contained in the Koran. Would they agree with this view?
