Who here is NOT Iranian, and likes this movie? (im interested)
If you like it, then give three reasons as to why? im really interested in knowing why :)
shareI'm Israeli and I thought it was a superb film.
The characters were so believable, I felt like I was watching a real story unfold.
I liked the fact that there was no Kafkaism in the sense of man vs. system. Instead it was just depiction of a bunch of regular Joes caught in a turmoil that has spun out of their control.
As an atheist I appreciated the fact that religion played a marginal role, merely a plot point and nothing more significant.
Please don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them.
I'm American and I enjoyed this film very much!
Reasons:
1. I loved the dark tone that this film had; it felt like I was watching a documentary about two real Iranian families. Which leads me into the second reason why I liked this film...
2. I loved getting an in depth look into a culutre/society that I knew absolutely nothing about.
3. I loved the ambigous ending, it went well with the rest of the movie because during the movie you didn't really know who to root for and who to be mad at. I liked how the director left the interpretation up to the audience.
I'm Irish and I thought it was one the best movies I've ever seen.
Reasons:
1. It shows events that could happen in any one of our lives -the difficulties of caring for a sick relative, relationship difficulties
2. How small, seemingly insignificant actions can combine to create a tragedy
3. It made me think what I would do if I was the same difficult situations as some of the main characters
