Hello! hello! Hello, Mr. Guardian! Hey ~ Movie and TV recommendation moments.
Today I recommend six Iranian movies. When talking about the children's film 's masterpiece, Iranian movies are the reflections on religion and life, Iranian movies are more personal and realistic, with laughter and tears. Facing the market, Iranian films are difficult to survive but full of strength. I am used to watching Hollywood movies, but in contrast, Iran's Iran's movies have a unique charm. Iran's unique regional environment and humanistic characteristics present the simple story from a different perspective, bringing a lot of touch and resonance to the audience.
"A Farewell" Douban 8.7
Nard and Westminster are a couple, and their daughter is Temei. Westminster hopes that the family of three will move abroad, but Nader firmly opposes it because Nader's father has Alzheimer's disease and needs care. The two of them were planning to divorce for this, but the court rejected her request. Ximin returned to her parents' home in anger. After Westminster left, Nader was unable to get a clerk, Rice, and hired a nurse to take care of his father. However, her father's toilet problem always plagues Reitz. According to the teachings of the Quran, she felt that there were many taboos. Reitz's daughter was with her, which also distracted her. After a few rounds, Nader went home and found that his father was tied to the bed. He was angry and pushed down Rice. Unexpectedly, pregnant Reitz actually had an abortion. Reitz's husband was furious and sued Nader in court. They each had their own opinions, but the truth was unexpected...
"A Farewell" won the Golden Bear Award from the Berlin Film Festival, almost swept the Best Foreign Language Film of the Year by various American Film Critics Associations, and eventually won the Golden Globe Award and the Best Foreign Language Film of the Oscar. The divorce of a couple indirectly reflects the separation of many issues such as modernity and tradition, morality and law, honesty and lies, marriage and love, parents and children, immigration and left-behind. Whether it is from the metaphor of reality or poetic philosophy, from the plot choreography or the lens language, from the traditional aesthetic concept or the author's personal opinion, "A Farewell" is very perfect.
"Close-up" Douban 8.3
Tehran , reporter Farazmand went to report on the arrest of young man Hosey Sabzien for fraud. It turns out that the unemployed painter Sabzien is a movie fan. He claims to be the famous director Muhsin Markmarbav, who has gained the trust of the rich Ahankah family and borrowed money from them to make a film. After the incident, Sabzien was arrested. Director Abbas Kiarostami launched a documentary-like follow-up investigation into the case, interviewing police, Ahan Kah's family, and Sabzien himself. During the interrogation, Sabzien regretted cheating the relationship between the Ahan Kahe family, but said that he did this because of his love for art and that if he had money, he would really shoot his own movie. Moreover, pretending to be director Mark Marbav gave him confidence. Finally, the plaintiff Ahan Kah's family revoked the lawsuit, and Sabzien also met the real Mark Marbav, who rode a motorcycle to take the young man to visit Ahan Kah.
Real people act in real things and use authentic records, event reproduction, and even equipment failures to "deception" the audience, which ultimately makes the audience reflect on the "reality" on the screen, to what extent it is true or fiction, and what is its significance. In just ninety minutes, I felt the appearance, atmosphere and people's mentality of Tehran in the 1990s.
" Turtle will fly " Douban 8.8
Iran and Türkiye border area, years of war and foreign invasion have led to a scorched earth here, and people are living in poverty. In order to survive, the teenagers actually picked up landmines to exchange for money. Due to the lack of safety protection measures, they lost their bodies and even their lives in the sudden explosion. Satellite is the king of children here. He leads his friends to live a turbulent life and witnesses the irreparable trauma brought by the war to the children's spirit and body...
The tragedy of individuals reflects the devastation under the war. In the dark and chaotic border area, these children are not childish at all, but are stronger, braver and calmer.This is how they live withered childhood and the craziest emotions of war. It's more like a horror movie than those horror movies that pretend to be a god. Its horror is not about being scary, but through simple images, it shows the cruelty and unbearable life in real corners to the audience. Seeing the children slack off in the destruction of war, I couldn't bear it and couldn't help it.
"Baron" Douban 8.3
On a construction site in northern Tehran, Iran, Afghanistan worker Najav broke his leg. As the only economic pillar in the family, his injury immediately put the whole family in trouble. The kind-hearted foreman Meima couldn't bear to see the tragic phenomenon and agreed to let his eldest son Lemite take over his position. Soon, Meima discovered that Lemite was not suitable for physical work carrying cement, but he would carefully set up the dining table, so he decided to let him replace his nephew Latif and be responsible for the meals of the work team. Meima's move annoyed the rough Latif. While he was jealous of Lemite's good luck, he kept creating trouble to interfere with and obstruct his work and even destroyed his kitchen. Soon, when Latif discovered that Lemite was originally a girl named Barron, and was dressed as a man in order to support the whole family, he was silent. In the 1980s, a large number of war-torn Afghan civilians were forced to flood into Iran and survived with difficulty. "Barron" is an outstanding Iranian realism film. Faced with the cold and cruel reality, director Makid Makid instead chose to tell the story in a affectionate and gentle way. In the hearts of those who live in suffering, there is a golden light shining. The Iranians and Afghans in the film did not abandon their souls because of war and poverty. They are strong and kind, as always. " The Taste of Cherries " Douban 8.0 Imagine, if a stranger suddenly finds you and asks you to help him, what would you do? In "The Taste of Cherries" by Iranian director Abbas , there is a man like this who seeks help from others to commit suicide, but finds a deeper meaning in life. In this movie that mainly focuses on dialogue, people are interested in watching it because of its philosophical and timeless taste. " Song of the Sparrow " Douban 8.6 Karlin barely supports his family by working in the ostrich farm. His daughter, who has hearing impairments, lost her hearing aid before the exam, and her son and a group of children of similar age dreamed of cleaning up the mud pond and raising goldfish to make money and becoming a millionaire. It takes a lot of money to buy a hearing aid again. Kalin, who wanted to advance his salary with his boss, lost an ostrich because of negligence at work. Lost work, Kalin searched for the escaped ostrich, but ended up finding nothing. Originally, he went to the city just to repair hearing aids for his daughter, but when he drove a motorcycle, he was regarded as a passenger motorcycle and unexpectedly got a job to make a living. Carlin, who travels between home and city, not only earns basic expenses to maintain a living, but also often brings back some scrap from the city.Carlin slowly improves the family's life with his own efforts, but the warmth that once flowed between the family slowly disappeared due to Carlin's negligence, until Carlin was injured by accident... The little people in the video are very similar to the people around them. They live so strong and happy. Even if the future is not all happiness awaits them, they can still believe with confidence that the future is beautiful. In movies, the experience of a small character can often reflect the form of society and the current living conditions of people, and even directly reflect people's life difficulties. Kalin in the film is just a tiny individual, but what he represents is that in that era and many people in that country. Buddy was driving his own car and driving aimlessly in the suburbs of the construction site. He carried a recruit who had just joined the army and told him about his experience in joining the army. Then he made his own request: pay for the recruits to bury their S body from S. The recruits panicked and ran away. Buddy continued to look for the burial man, but the homeless man on the construction site and the seminary students all refused his request. An old man working in a museum, Bagri got on Buddy's car. Bagri committed suicide, but was eventually kept by the sweet taste of cherries. Bagri agreed to Buddy's request to treat his son's illness. Buddy was lying outside the museum, and his heart seemed to be shaken...
