After "A Farewell", I found some of Asghar Farhadi's more classic films, "About Ellie" is one of them.
The film revolves around the story of three couples and two single men and women vacationing in a seaside villa. The Iranian girl Yili was persuaded by Cybide to go together, and was arranged to meet Ahmod, a single young man who was visiting Germany and returning to Iran for vacation. . That beautiful and mysterious girl, Yili, is not the main character, but everything in the movie revolves around her.
Iranian cinema has always revolved around deeply rooted traditions of Islam, and "About Ellie" is no exception, it seems to express frustration about women's rights. In the Iranian religion, it is a crime for Yili to go on a blind date with a fiancé, but she does not love her fiancé and always wants to break up.
"A bitter ending is better than no ending," said Ellie when he asked him why he was getting divorced. She must have been very touched when she heard this, so when her fiancé called, she just glanced at it and didn't answer. Love to this point, how painful are those who want to give up, and how sad are those who are reluctant to give up.
Before she disappeared mysteriously, the movie has a long shot to show her joy and ease when flying a kite. In reality, she can't be as free as a kite, so only death can wash away her guilt and get what she hopes. freedom and peace. Whether she died of a drowning child or committed suicide, it doesn't seem to matter that the show doesn't say it.
