The script and audio-visual language are wonderful. A film reflecting on the disadvantaged position of women is also an area that the director has always been good at. The movie "About Yili" tells the story of Yili, who has not yet broken up successfully, was matched by a friend to participate in a trip. She sacrificed herself to save the child who fell into the water, but no one stood up to protect her reputation. The expression of the film is very profound. In the low-status environment of Iranian women, a woman, even if she is trying to break up, as long as she is not single, travels with other men will be placed in an unclean place. The Yili in the story is very aware of this, so she insisted on staying for only one night, or because she was too kind and could not bear to refuse the invitation of her friends. Yili's friend Cybeid knows everything, but she still insists on using various methods to keep Yili, and the reason behind this is thought-provoking. In the film, Cybide and Yili are about the same age, but her husband has gray hair, and he is not stingy to accuse her or even take action. Her marriage was not happy, so she felt sympathy for Yili and wanted to save her from misfortune. Throughout the story, the kindness that drives their actions, for both Ellie and Cybeid, ultimately leads to tragedy. When people learned that Yili had an unbreakable fiancé, her goodwill in the eyes of everyone was suddenly overturned. Everyone blamed each other and shied the responsibilities, and they refused to defend Yili's reputation. This objectification of women is portrayed in the second scene of the film. The person who pursues Yili is a divorced German returnee, but friends secretly joke about Yili, like meat on a chopping board. being picked. The saddest thing is that at the end of the story, the fiancé doesn't seem to care much about Ellie's death, and just asks Cybeid if Ellie has "betrayed" him. Under the pressure of such a large environment, Cybide did not dare to challenge male power, and ultimately failed to maintain Yili's reputation. The director has a very good grasp of the audio-visual language. The last scene before Eli's death. She and the child in the water are in the same frame, and then Yili is attracted by the child flying a kite outside the painting, suggesting that her attention is away from the child in the water, paving the way for the film's suspenseful scenes. Yili helps the children fly a kite, the picture is shaky and out of frame, leaving Yili's last smile powerfully, and the kite in the sky becomes a blank space for an emotional longing for freedom. With a thunderous sound, the woman in the house was disturbed, and in a strong atmosphere of suspense, the revelation of Iranian feminism began. At the end of the film, Yili's body is found, and the Iranian women are like the car that was dropped on the beach, with a muddy fate and unable to break free.
