@shabehpersia21 What? If anything it portrays them as a generally dignified people and that, as an individual, he was capable of mistakes like any other human being.
@RagdollDude then why choose an iranian family? the fact of the matter is, the majority of american society has a negative view towards iran and a film like this only exasterbates it.
Jennifer Connelly is a brilliant actress. I really like her calmness. She delivers her emotions perfectly well, very effortless. She's also one of the most beautiful actresses I've seen in Hollywood. I really wish she will win even just one Oscars or Golden Globe best actress award. She totally deserves it!
@nikkijaneallison She has won an oscar for A Beautiful Mind in 2002, though I think she totally deserved something for this movie as well. House of Sand and Fog was amazing.
It's a great movie...Fuck the oscars...Movies like this are rare...Great direction,Great portrayals of the characters by Sir Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly...!!
I watched this yesterday, I wasn't expecting too much. But wow, definetley one of the best movies I have ever seen. The coflicted emotions it makes you feel, is really overwhelming.
And silly me watched whilst getting ready to go out, needless to say I had to do my eye make up again lol.
Kingsley is mind blowing in this- there's just no way he should have lost that oscar- easily the best performace of the year. This movie is worth watching just for the acting alone.
Dude, he had to go up against Sean Penn for his performance in Mystic River. That was an almost perfect performance of a father whose losing sanity after the loss of his daughter.
@thelupoistheman1 Dude, Sean Penn was up against Sir Ben Kingsley in HOSAF. That was an almost perfect performance of a father losing sanity after the loss of his son.....................................
No hazemweb4 it's not at all like your problem in Palestine, it's an American problem of buerocratic incompetence and a hatred against foreigners who came here legally.
I first read the book and was totally blown away by how well it was written, I didn't want it to end. Now that I have seen the trailer of the movie and notced that they added some sex scenes, I'm hesitant of wanting to see it and only to erase the good memory I have from the book.
Here is this proud Iranian father who had fled with his family to the US following the deposing of the Shah. He bought a house at auction because the previous owner hadn't paid her property taxes. Excellent story.
I will try to find this movie and see it b/c from the trialer it's looks like our problem in Palestine, how the jowesh come from europ and USA and russa and take our land, but meybe the the different that he pay money for the hous, and in Palestine UK take it from us and gave it to jowesh :(
@hazemweb u should be compensated, but that was their land, taken from them in the same way; or worse. It is God's mandate for Israel to be populated with Jews.
This film was totally ripped off at the Oscars, it should have won at least 5 Oscars. Wake up, people, it was a real masterpiece. Why can't anyone see that???? And who the f... disliked this video??? Kill yourself and make a world a better place, you idiot!
that's fucking immature,why do you care about about that one dislike, a stupid virtual insignificant thing like that??? i like the movie and i'll press "dislike" just to show you i don't give a fuck about youtube buttons ,you know....CUZ I "IS" LIKE THAT,WACHAGONNADO ! i just hope you'll not kill yourself just because the video will now have 2 dislikes,you stupid immature fool
so let me get this straight....the same dude who was about to cry that the video got one dislike is now calling me immature ??? THAT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS :)))))
facts still remain though : you're the one who got angry about a fucking virtual dislike button ,don't blame me for your immaturity ok pal ?
Really wasn't worth all the lives lost in the end , now was it?
