  • I've just watched this movie for the first timeand I loved it. all i can say is that politicians are stupid, they control the media and by that they make pople dislike others. let the people connect without your bull***. people are people are people.

    SHALOM, ASALAM ALIKUM, PEACE

  • The film is on netflix streaming... ie. if you dont have a netflix account, this movie by itself is worth getting one.

  • Again how can we obtain the dvd or video link?

    People would love to buy this.

    They need funds still and passports ? Where does it all stand now?Can they set up in another country and record?

    elan

  • @sunstar336 I bought a used copy from Amazon. As it stands now, I believe the two main characters (the band Take It Easy Hospital) have fled to the UK. The rapper Hichkas, who in the movie refused to leave because of his ties to and support for the green movement, has been forced to flee. Rana Farhan I believe lives in LA. The last I heard he was in Turkey. I don't know about the others. Search YouTube for "ma ye mosht sarbazim" - great song, the English subtitles tell the story very well.

  • is this a good movie?? anyone who knows??

  • Just incredible, be honest, when was the last time you thought about Iran and indie music in the same sentence, huh? No, me neither, see it and be amazed...........

  • Really desparate to watch this film with English subtitles..please if anyone has a link for a download please can they send me a link to my inbox. To the youth of Iran you have my greatest respect and best wishes. Some of the nicest people I have ever met have been from Iran

  • @yeovil50 I got a copy of this movie from Amazon. It does have English subtitles, though you have to turn them on.

  • @Tanfeliz Thanks my friend, I managed to get hold of a copy in the end with subtitles and it was great but thanks for letting me know.

  • To everyone who wants to know anyone of those artists or songs shown/played in that movie, please message me!

  • the women in the beginning are sisters named Mahsa and Marjan. They happen to be my second cousins who I didn't even know were in this until I saw the trailer just now haha.  Not sure of the name of the song, but those are their names - hope that helps

  • @peacock1991 "Haleili" is the name of the song

  • does anyone know whats the name of the music that the video starts with with the older women and instruments ?

  • This is a beautiful movie that's held my interest all the way through. I wish that more people in the West would watch this to see the struggle of the Iranian people because I think they would be inspired and humbled.

  • Documentay or fiction? (no jks, wondering)

  • Comment removed

  • wow 67 CIA agent watched this movıe yeah man yeah bullshittt

  • the best song in the this movıe

    /watch?v=wrvL6WG7ZDE

  • EAGERLY AWAITING 21st CENTURY PERSIAN REVOLUTION !!!!

    FREE PERSIA

  • who were these 67 retards?

  • WHATS THE SONG THAT BEGINS AT :42 ???

  • I did love the way they set this movie up; it was like being in 3 different worlds, 1 real and 2 fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some shocking surprises too in it. I found it at filmsi.co.cc.

  • can somone tell me wer i can download the first song that the women r playing? n wat its name is?

  • i saw this movie yesterday, rented the DVD in the library. it conveys its message very clearly and takes you through all the motions possible.

  • Great movie. God bless the people of Iran with freedom soon.

  • This movie was very good!!! I visited Iran in December and it was a fantastic trip. Such an active youth pushing the boundaries! Artists, musicians, directors all have to leave Iran to have their artistic freedom, but the ones who stayed have balls! I read that the two main actors (Ashkan and Negar) cannot return to Iran because of this movie. Anyone else heard this??

  • @DorafDavis19

    Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up, shut the fuck up, you desperate piece of poor shit.

  • I don't like this Muslim extremist shithole, so I'm not sure what I'll think of this movie.

  • Who are the ladies who are singing the first song in this trailer? And what kind of music is it?

  • @pouyaouya In this instance the ladies are known as maddahs. The event looks like a moludi -

    an Iranian religious celebration of the prophet and Imams' birthdays - using religious and secular

    texts - the aim is to enjoy. Here they are singing the poetry of Leili and Majnoon - an ancient Iranian

    tale of doomed love, accompanied by Daf (drum) - performing traditional Iranian music.

  • @koukousabzi Thank you for explaining! That song got in my soul and I couldn't understand why. I would really like to hear more of that music.

  • funny how this looks and sounds like one of those holiwood movies wer the group is gona get ruind and u all know how it goes, but infact, all that shit is real in iran, haha, holiwood, uv met ur match, fiction has now turned into reality, so fuck off and stop showing the great persian kings as fuckin monsters, if it wernt for us, there would be no world today, we invented civilisation it self, human rights, fuckin writing, the wheel, so fuck off

  • @farshad94abedi

    You have a misguided definition of "civilization". There have been civilizations for millions of years, in a sense. And learn how to write. "You" did not invent anything. You're a kid behind a cheap computer. Also, Persians did not invent the things you mentioned.

  • @farshad94abedi Well its happening for sure but since it is really happening wouldn't that mean its reality turning to fiction? Or a movie inspired by real events? Why would it be fiction turned into reality? That makes no sence.

  • @farshad94abedi I live in israel and I ordered this movie on the TV so dont worry about how persian are shown.. (at least in israel where u probably think they have the worst image) ur goverment sucks and the critism is about it.. in fact there are many persian jews in israel and everyone respects their culture u know what im sayin :)

    and yes there would be world without u there was also the Greek culture the Roman and the Arab.. another great ones :)

  • @Maisa6362716 may i point out that our government is only against ur government;s occupation and the murder of the poeple of palastine, this is why all muslims will forever hate the israelies and why there will be no peace, cos ur government is murduring inocent muslim man women and children, and also, if it wernt for us, the jews would not hav had been saved from babalon and there would be no such thing as human rights

  • @farshad94abedi NOOooo hahahaa I didnt say im jewish!!! I'm not jewish!!! hell no!! I'm an arab(palestinian) living in israel we are called arab 48 haha it appears I didnt make my self clear and I know best about how much israel sucks :)) and another thing u r saying murdering muslim women and kids but palestinians are not only muslims there are also Christians and druze soo.. thats it

  • @Maisa6362716 haha cool, yea but the majority is muslim, the point is that israeli gov is pritty much the worst in the world, and b4 they target iran, they should be targeting the israeli gov :/, they being the world powers

    i wish u luck living there, if i wer u, id get out of there, as in go to another country, b4 they kick u out of ur home n throw u bak into gaza, damn israeli gov : / :)

  • @farshad94abedi Leaving my hometown is not the solution I would be pleasing them cuz thats what they want..!! this is my land although they let me feel like stranger but it another country its just worst.. this whole issue is too complicated

  • @Maisa6362716 i have to agree with u, i wish u well

  • Anyone know what the first song is? I don't think it's on the soundtrack.

  • Does anyone knows the name of the song that starts at 1:03

    I need to know, I LOVE that song!

    Please?

  • @ManellaCoockie it is "me and you" by Take it Easy Hospital. it's a great music indeed.

  • LOL 00:32 INDI ROCK ......MADONA AND 50 CENT THEY DON'T DO INDI ROCK THAT HAD NOTING TO DO WITH THE CONVERSATION !!

  • @MyTutorialFilms Moron, she said that they play Indie Rock.

  • @MyTutorialFilms yes we know that, the film makers knew that too. It's to show how how indie rock is not recognized in Iran and it is a humourous scene not a serious scene.

  • @MyWorldInColour but there are many people who they do indi rock ...death metal ....and many more music are all underground music .....i am a persian so i can understand what are they saying with out reading the subtitles

  • I can relate to this movie. I remeber similar things happening to me and my friends. When we we're growing up there was a war in my country and an authoritarian government was in charge. THEY prefered traditional national music, WE prefered METAL, punk-rock and hip-hop. We had trouble with the police all the time :) But I must say not like you guys... Regime was a bit softer

    From CROATIA

  • who is the woman who sings at the beginning?!

    PLEASE I have to know!

  • We are really honoured to be screeining this wonderful film at the Wallingford Brightwide Film Festival on Wednesday, 11 May at the Corn Exchange Wallingford! Thank you and Happy New Year! :)

  • Totally entranced by the movie; rapt every moment. acting superb! another oscar nomination for director. great for a romanic escape...ah! life should be so romantic and just. You can find it at kookíca now. Dont wait!

  • @MrSreevatsan

    Why do you put the same crap comment on every clip?

  • For those who've seen the film, does anyone happen to know the techno song playing at the house party at the end of the film? It's the only song in the film that's not on the soundtrack. It's a great song, and it's stuck in my head, but I can't find it! Thanks to anyone who knows it!

  • @bandlang I am also lookin for this techno music. Do any one know what's the name of the artist? It's not exist on the CD Soundtrack.

  • @4dr14n123 Hey. I finally found it. I knew it sounded familiar. It is Arash- Donya (but the Payami Remix version)

  • This was such a ground breaking movie.Did anyone think like i did that the guy who was helping them get visas ratted them out in the end?

  • Killer movie!!! The youth is the same all around the world.

    And sadly, our lack of free artistic and emotional expression thanks to the ignorant and corrupted, only leads us to death.

  • :42, The Beatles in the background :)

  • begining'' allahhh allalalalala alllaahhhh samiiiuuu allaahhhh ''

  • This is a spectacular movie with visuals that are jaw-dropping. I never thought I could truly enjoy in all the minutes of the one movie, whats the word? absolute coolness! Is the only word I can use to describe this fantastic film. And overall I would like to recommend it to you all to see this film. It is on kòòkica!

  • just watched this on sundance... wow!

    damn it feels good to live in the good ole USofA

  • song is Take It Easy Hospital - Human Jungle

  • Does anyone know the electronic song during the party scene at the end? I can't find it anywhere, it's not on the soundtrack btw.

  • saw a midnight showing on kòòkica. It was breathtaking and totally immersing. It is easy to ignore the holes and just let the story flow, and the weaknesses of some of the charcters are few. definitely worth seeing.

  • We all started flipping out over the concept of this movie, and generally wondered whether or not the human mind can handle multiple lifetimes worth of experience without suffering from abject insanity. It is available at kòòkica by the way so come and catch it.

  • Who are two woman sung at the beginning of trailer? Does nobody know who are they? Iranians, where are you?

  • I just saw this movie and I thought it was ok!,...not the best but worth watching for sure!

  • HI EVERY ONE. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHO IS THE LAST SONG WHICH WAS PLAYING IN THE PARTY AT THE END OF THE MOVIE? THANX 

  • @SHM52 i LOVED that song, as well as all of the rest. I've been trying to figure that out myself, but i can't seem to. My guess is that it's Arash, but i'm not sure. 

  • Oh... if only iran could be free! 

  • nice

    

  • nice

  • yo badboy first learn say it right its not persia its iran persia its one empire and its not muslim stoping from freedom its f***ing Gov. plz study more before u talk

  • great movie

  • A woman wouldnt like madonna or 50 cent... if the filmmaker wants to pass a message, at least pass the right one, not idolise crappy music.

  • apparently you're missing the entire point of the film. idiot @Talazorn

  • @talktal no, you just dont get MY point but whatever i dont really want to say any more comments

  • @Talazorn Well, I'm Iranian myself and the women in Iran actually listen to those artists.....

    So next time you want to say something : think before you type.

  • @hetzalwel16 I don't know if you really are Iranian but this is undeniably crappy music.

  • @Talazorn idiot

  • fucking nice job man great PURE PERSIAN PRIDE

  • I am wondering if there is any Persian here who can recommend me more about their films, I like them a lot, I dont mind any genre, just want a film full of Persian culture,, any recommendation??!!

  • fuck islam Free Persian

  • Hmmmm...What spirit to spit in the face of the authorities and to risk your own life to sing and dance.....

    I don't care if it is based about Iran..sound interesting!

  • @Zelemines thank you :)

  • islam is arabic culture why are iranians selling them selfs to a arabic thing that is 100times as retarded as donkey???

  • @arc1342 islam is not a culture and it's not for arab only, it is a religion and everyone can be a muslim. There are americans who are muslims and europeans as well. In fact there is at least 1 muslim in every country in the world.

  • @arasten Not the Vatican, lol.

  • makes you wonder why those kinds of cultures fear and dislike and repress so much of what makes llife worth living...makes you wonder why they like a gloomy dark life, as if they believe they're better than others for being so dull. good film

  • someone says this movie is already on piratebay to download for free :(

  • i listen to a lot of indie bands.. i'm was just saying what i hear it sounds like.. So people cant have their own opinion nowadays?

  • @Zelemines Very well put.

  • Anybody know the name of the song played at the beginning by the women?

  • ahhhh i think ima actually watch this hichkas was in it so yeaa

  • hey guyz !check this out:

    "my tehran for sale'' on youtube

  • indie isn't just about Arctic Monkeys!

  • This film looks really good! I can't wait to experience it. Though I'd like to ask the Iranian people to start a tweezer revolution. There is nothing revolutionary about a unibrow - especially in the indie scene...

  • @Celeketic OMG YES!!! LOL I thought I was the only one with the little imaginary wax applicator/muslin strip. One little swipe, two brows! LOL

  • @Zelemines nah, it's about islamic, religious opression.

  • Comment removed

  • I want to see this so bad!

  • 0:47 Iranian arctic monkeys. :D

  • @myxamhatosis fuck off and eat monkeys;s dick :D

  • @85mehdik1 Aziz "arctic monkeys" esme ye guruhe musigie ingilisie yaru dare eltefat mikone. Hamle nakon.

  • is this movie all subtitled ?  :)

  • Awesome!

  • boring -.-

  • What's the name of the song at the very begining of the trailer being sung by the women?

  • @berrim i would like to know aswell, if you find out please let me know

  • I hate Ghobadi and his simple mind with simple questions and simple answers

  • @CineSam please elaborate

  • After watching "Not An Illusion" videos, I feel shammed.

  • This film is a farse. This is an unauthorized copy of the film "Not and Illusion", by Torang Abedian.

    This is really scandalous! There are no copyright laws in Iran, and Torang has nobody to turn to in her country. She can't even sue Bahman Ghobad!

    Please, help her promote her film. She and all the people involved in it depend on the awareness of people in the West to bring about some justice.

  • @uakari I didnt know, I will search in to it. thanks

  • this video is a copy of not an illusion of torang abedian. ghobadi should be arrested

  • wait..so this movie is about freeing persian? freeing them by singing rock music? lol

  • @MsCasati ummm as much as it sounds funny but certain type of music are illegal in Iran along with many other ordanary things u do in the west... so what I would suggest to u is to be more thankfull of ur freedom..

    and for God's sake pleeeease get a little bit more awar of whats going around the world before u judge ppl

  • @ocopolita2 wtf is wrong with you? for your information i'm Qatari living in doha and I know exactly how it is like to live in a conservative society.yes I did not watch the movie to judge it..but it would be too dumb for me to assume that they're here representing a country's freedom as rock bands or "50 cent" as she says lol just "MY" opinion. btw i know that iran is called iran.. what i meant is persianS but i didn't add the S by mistake

  • @MsCasati and the country is called Iran not Persian!

  • so anyone now how the track called on the end?is amazing

  • this movie was amazing!

  • where can i download this from??

  • Bahman Ghobadi has put up this movie for free download =D vaghan gozashte baraye hame ke download bokonim =)

  • The director of the film put the movie up on some torrent website, so be sure to download it (legally :P)

  • Interesting yet very sad film about my poor old city (Tehran) and its burnt generations in the past unfortunate 31 years to present... I bought few of the songs on its soundtrack on itunes... one song in particular expresses the whole sad story (Opening title by Shervin Najafian) ironically in the most beautiful way... His voice, guitar and lyrics in Persian were priceless for me honestly... Free Iran and Iranians. Love and Peace.

  • @AMOR4VELOCIDAD i've been looking for the opening song by Najafian but couldn't manage yet.Could you please tell me the exact name of the song or send me a copy of it.thanks..

  • @mervouss

    Dear friend, Please go to "iTunes" account . Type: Shervin Najafian and or "No One knows about Persian cats" under search and it will show up! You can buy the entire album or just each song individually...

    Good luck and All the best...

    Free Iran and Iranians.

  • @AMOR4VELOCIDAD

    Eres de Espania o Iran?

  • @mervouss

    Did you go to your iTunes account? (if you have one of course). Going to iTunes, that was the only way I was able to buy few songs on this album! The Album's name is : No one knows about Persian cats . The song is called: Opening Title. The artist is : Shervin Najafian. Good luck. Peace.
