So are you saying all great films are controversial? I think you've triggered my bulls**t meter.

@ bluesdoctor
So basically you are saying that pretty much all Irianian filmmakers are "moral cowards" for not making films that overtly challenge the current regime. Is that correct?
You do realize that, if they made the kinds of films you'd prefer to see, they'd all end up in prison, right? Is that what you'd like to see? No Iranian cinema whatsoever?
Ask Jafar Panahi how that's going for him. It's easy to criticize when you don't have to deal with the consequences. They don't have that luxury.
Personally I think it is silly that you would measure the artistic or moral integrity of a filmmaker by whether he directly addresses the political realites of his country of origin.

Lol. And what is your opinion of other Iranian filmmakers who've yet to cross the regime?
shareI wouldn't take anything bluesdoctor says seriously. One look at his posting history proves he's either just an idiot who gets off on trolling well liked films or just the saddest, loneliest little man on the planet (most likely both, actually). It's much easier to just **** on movies isn't it bluesdoctor? Have you contributed anything of value at all? Had a single positive thing to say?
Since I know a fool like you is probably on the fence anyway, please just kill yourself. That little voice in your head is right. Nobody is going to miss you.

I can't believe I've just read your last sentence. All the world is not summed up in issues related to the totalitarian regimes, you know.
shareYou didn't get it.
shareAgreed. This film was poo. (I didn't "get it" and I also couldn't get into it.)
Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
