The love that is restored by the truth

I am willing to make this film a sequel to a parting. After parting, a couple met again because of some funeral affairs. At this time, the woman had a new partner and she was pregnant with each other's child. This involved the tense relationship between Lucy and Samir and the truth about Samir's wife's suicide. If there is no external force, this truth may be buried for a long time. The cold war between Maria and Lucy will continue, and the relationship between Maria and Samir will continue. But when Lucy revealed the truth, the past that was concealed by misunderstandings told Samir the fact that his wife had always had him in her mind, and she went to ruin because of her betrayal. From then on, Samir could no longer ignore his wife who was lying unconscious in the hospital bed. He moved out of his girlfriend's house and began to take care of his wife in the hospital. Finally, his wife responded to his call for love. A past that has not been misunderstood saved a family and a true love.

Although the film has a Paris background and the director is no longer just Iranian, I still feel a strong Persian atmosphere: the rouge beards of two male pig's feet, taciturn, and the Persian gene in Lucy's appearance. There is also the director's respect for his own culture: the children love Ahmed's cooking, and Maria's expectation of him to resolve the conflict between herself and Lucy, all express the director's heart. How a person of universal value is connected with his own culture is explained here.

    Every time a suspense is solved, the paragraph ends bluntly. The role of several characters is only to thread the needle, and the heroine's hysteria lacks a natural emotional direction in the rendering of conflict. Compared with a parting, the calmness is almost from heaven to earth.

    Parents with a small pattern are short-lived, and their thinking has reached the limit they can bear. Of course, the constraints of the format also led to the tediousness of the 130-minute film, and the excessive detail ruined the expectations of viewers who wished to relive the severe parting style. The first time I watched Bejo's explosive scene, I felt a little awkward. The standard of the three major actresses was really unpredictable.
