What a brave movie!!!
I don't know if people know what Bahman did here. It's both a good movie and a major accomplishment.

EVERYTHING that was done in this film and filmed ... was illegal!
The BRAVADO is a given.
I had chills going down my spine, watching this whole film play out.
I feel for anyone who so desperately wants to leave Iran for America, and cannot.
I hear tell of many of the people filmed being able to leave Iran for Europe, which makes me very happy, and relieved.
I have been PM'd here by people living in Iran who want to go elsewhere so badly and cannot ... It makes me very, very, very SAD for them.
Try not to gossip about who / what you don't know. Words are just cruelly speculative.
Oh please. Obviously, people who want to get out will PM saying they want to get out. Do you think millions of Iranians who are happy in Iran will PM you?
I live in Iran and I want been outside Iran, and no, I don't want to get out at the moment.
The film is not as brave as you make it out to be. It stars Iran's most mainstream actor, so it is not exactly that underground. It would be like us Iranian watching a film with Tom Cruise and thinking that it was an illegal, underground American film.
madali,
I think you have mistaken my opinion as being something much more strident, perhaps?
I meant no harm. I did enjoy the film ...
