If there is only one director in Iran, Asghar Farhadi, it is enough to give Iran a place in the current world film landscape. In terms of genre alone, his works are not only a clear stream in the film market, but also a torrent for the promotion of the entire film art. His works are full of undercurrents in details from beginning to end, and the details are seamless. You can't find anything uncomfortable or unreasonable to hesitate, or to reconsider, the script presents the dynamics of the characters within the framework of a story, which are expressed along with the internal rhythm of the story. The truth in a specific scene is like a sharp sword, wielding and fighting in front of your eyes. It is so powerful. Every time a shot is made, it is basically at the level of a textbook. It is completely a person who lifts a big banner to compete with a country and against the movie trend of the whole world, but it is definitely worth a thousand troops. I think one person It can fully represent an era, and Asghar Farhadi can fully represent today's Iran. In the film, this director not only deconstructs people, deconstructs a nation, but also deconstructs his country in secret. In fact, the order should be reversed. First, you are a citizen in this country, and then you belong. For a kind of cultural belief, even bigger, your attributes are the basic human being. There is such a sequence in the secular sense of survival, but art cannot do this. Art serves people, but survival must pay attention to strategies. Especially in an environment that doesn't let you speak, so Asghar Farhadi can still be so good in such an environment, it shows the greatness of this director.

In this film, a series of chain events triggered by an accident that occurred while out to play, the plot was reversed in seconds, and people had to respond quickly to solve the dilemma of updating in a state of panic. We are still our own role. On the other hand, we are under the shackles of customs and morality. Everyone will be involved in life. It is impossible to simply distinguish between 'good people and bad people' in dualism. Everyone has right and wrong. No one wants to escape. One small thing, and then all of our lives were affected, and while it was ostensibly okay and peaceful, we were really changed, and in my opinion, that's always been what he said in his work. At the end of the few films I've only watched, the characters are silent in a certain life segment, then the music starts, and the curtain ends slowly, leaving unsolved viewers. endless.
