Iranian movies occupy a unique position in the Asian film market.
, a big part comes from director , Asha Fahati .
He is a regular visitor to the Cannes Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival and has won awards many times.
" Once separated " made him even more known to Chinese movie fans.
The movie I want to recommend today is
is the new work of Iranian master director Asha Fahati, and it is also one of the highly anticipated works in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival last year .
《A Hero 》
Iran is an Islamic country.
However, "A Hero" is like "A Farewell" where director Fahati won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, it has escaped the limitations of politics, religion and class.
chose to turn its attention to the lives of ordinary people in Iran. The stories told by
are very secular, delicate and daily.
The film tells the story of the hero Rahim who was unable to repay his debts.
He looks forward to reunion with his girlfriend, sister and son with language barriers.
During the two-day parole period,
His girlfriend picked up a handbag containing gold coins on the street.
If the gold coins are sold, there may be enough money to convince the creditor to exempt the debt.
However, when the value of the gold coins was lower than they imagined,
Rahim decided to post a notice and return the gold coins to the original owner.
The prison where Rahim is located is suffering from the prisoner suicide scandal.
just takes advantage of Rahim's "remembering money" to attract a wave of favor.
They contacted the TV station to promote it, and Rahim became "a hero".
A charity foundation came to raise funds for the heroes.
They pushed Rahim's stuttering son to the front stage, winning public sympathy.
In Iran, if the creditor decides to withdraw the lawsuit, the debtor can be free.
Public opinion orientation angered Rahim's creditors.
He doesn't understand why the person who owe money becomes a hero, and he wants to get his money back, but instead he is considered unkind.
Charity recommended a job for Rahim.
If he has an income, he will go one step further from a free and happy life.
However, the skeptical public servant asked Rahim to provide evidence that the woman who lost her packets was real.
Rahim could not find the lady,
His girlfriend voluntarily pretended to be the owner and testified for Rahim.
Things are getting more and more out of control, and Rahim's dream of freedom is finally getting farther and farther away.
film shooting techniques are simple, the story plot develops in a single line, and there is no very complex structure.
However, the so-called "hero" described is by no means high, big, or high.
On the contrary, his human nature is also full of holes, full of entanglements and contradictions.
However, his hero is that
finally chooses to face it sincerely from various contradictory mentalities.
plot ended in this "hero" returning to prison, but it also expressed his humanity, which was sublimated in this encounter, from an ordinary person to a hero on the moral level.
Videos about moral dilemmas are not uncommon.
And the new meaning of "A Hero" is to put a "hero" on a TV screen into a social media filter to inspect. Different groups manipulate and distort reality for their own interests.
The result is to blur the boundary between "innocence" and "crime".
In this film, the audience gets an immersive experience.
The similarities and differences of everyone's views on TV and social media determine their attitude towards the film.
In Iran, social media is a place where one can express itself freely and it is not controlled by the government.
However, TV is different. People who appear on TV usually stand on the government's side.
So this time, Fahati used his best calm observation,
Realism but there is no lack of a style of carefully crocheting suspense,
let us deeply immerse ourselves in Iran's social values.
good people and good things reported by social news,
3 There are endless cases of negative news on social media afterwards.
Gradually, they have a little doubt about the truth and authority of all information, which has become an instinct for people to accept information.
And in the kingdom where religion controls everything,
dignity and honor are placed in the first place to be considered.
The reason why creditors do not let Rahim go is due to their reputation.
In order to lend money to Rahim, his "family", he did not hesitate to pay for his daughter's dowry.
What did he get in the end? Just insult and damage.
It can be found that Iranian while gaining their own interests,
pays more attention to deeper considerations, that is, honors.
Compared with money, honor is naturally false.
However, honor and morality have become the bond that maintains interpersonal communication and social operation in Iran.
If there is no view of honor, everything will become secular.
So "A Hero" is a story that is unlikely to happen in China,
Because in China, gold coins are likely to be embezzled, and
people who embezzle will not be tortured by their conscience.
It is precisely because of the constraints imposed by religion that
Iranian directors have so many wonderful stories to tell.
But at the same time, we should also realize that reputation also puts Iranian women in a dilemma.
When male dignity is unconditionally emphasized,
result is a decline and materialization of female status.
is like in the video, Rahim's girlfriend wants to fulfill Rahim's life,
chooses to give up her honor and morality and make fake certificates for Rahim.
But this is another exciting topic to discuss in Iranian movies.
Finally, Rahim repeatedly emphasized that all he cares about is "honor".
However, for those who leave moral stains on social media,
how should we get out of this invisible cage?
This film shows the big picture from the small, reflecting human nature through exposed social problems.
is not biased and not sensational, but it is hot, has attitude, warmth, deep, full of rich humanistic care. At the premiere of
, when the director and starring came on the stage,
Fahati's eyes were filled with tears, and he put his hands on his chest very humbly, expressing his gratitude to the audience for their support.
The actor who plays Rahim Amir Zadidi He is handsome and upright,
There is no way to see the exhausted Rahim in the film who was tortured by life, which shows his excellent acting skills. After the premiere of
, the film received applause for 4 minutes.
and the film finally won the 74th Cannes Jury Award.
