The Stoning of Soraya M. Movie Review

[athews1976]

Terrible injustices happen in this world cos people with grandiose egos subject others and mistakenly make themselves believe that what they're doing is right simply because no one challenges their authority. When someone does challenge their authority then they're killed. They still think their authority goes unchallenged therefore they're still right. Incredible stupidity isn't it but this is how it works.

[Nundoo]

Arabs are sick mother fuckers when it comes to Women ! But don't mix Arab CULTURE with my ReLigion ! isLam have nothing to do with ignorant Arab CULTURE towards women ! isLam gives Women more rights then any reLigion !!

i reaLLy want YOU-(GossipSauce1 to understand this has nothing to do with isLam, PLease Read Quran b4 coming to concLution on isLam :)

[1MarsTS]

@Nundoo excuse me, I've lived in canada all of my life, so has my mother (her side is arabic) and i know plenty of arabic people . So uhm, let me tell you - you are so ignorant to say "arabs" are sick mother fuckers, if yo uwanna say that, then yeah islam also has to do with it because they do it for "allah" . stoning is not condemned by many cultures- INCLUDING ARAB, yet some villages and towns ALL OVER the world still do it, without others knowing. So fuck you for saying "arabs" . =)

[Nundoo]

@1MarsTS

i have nothing personaL against Arabs.. ALL im saying it, when it comes to Women rights they are the worst on PLannet !! and unfortunateLy without doing the search and have true facts ignorant PeopLe BLame my reLigion-(islam) for it ! No reLigion teaches eviL acts ! its the CULTURE that peopLe adopt to their confort by Manipulating reLigion ! its clearLy shown in this movie !

[1MarsTS]

@Nundoo Ah I see I definately agree, but I find blaming the individuals much more appropriate, because it is mankind in general who have terrible morals, whether it's women's rights , animal rights, war, etc etc. Such a sad thing to see and know that it goes on though.

[olivejk]

This should be permitted in the USA. too many feminists here. Stoning bitches teaches them to keep their mouths shut and allow themselves to be penetrated by horny men. There are many women who deserve this treatment because they lie and hide behind their "innocence" and "femininity". Problem is people get too emotional over whores getting stoned. If they performed fellatio more often their mouths would be too busy to talk shit. I got a big erection watching this bitch get stoned..:-)

[ilovemyself0001]

@olivejk you're sick

[1MarsTS]

@olivejk youre a very stupid dumbfuck. =) id say go fuck yourself, but im sure you already do considering no woman who is in the right mind would ever want to be with you ;) and im not even a feminist.

[olivejk]

@1MarsTS I've had at least 130 women suck my cock (I suspect that's above average?). Some (but not many) of them have been able to surrender their assholes (albeit painfully). Three of them have married me and I have divorced 2 but only because they were idiots like you. You should stop publicizing your stupidity and start loosening up your asshole. I'm sure you're just one of those hideous, ugly feminist...the type that no guy wants to fuck. If you want, maybe I'll jerk off on your face?

[1MarsTS]

@olivejk haha uh huh whatever you say sweetheart, you're probably some 45 year old fat fuck who doesn't have any sense in his head . ;)

[olivejk]

@1MarsTS I have a JD, masters in science, currently a CFO, own three houses, have traveled the world and have a really big cock which I'm sure you'd be more than happy to suck. Now, what about you, douchebag? Are you just another narcissistic punk whose entire life revolves around facebook? Or, some undistinguished asshole or shiftless cunt whose only goal in life is becoming a parasitic gold-digger doing her fingernails every week? Which is it? Any "sense" is that bubble brain of yours?

[1MarsTS]

@olivejk hahaha like i said, youre probably some 45 year old fat fuck . bragging and talking about how youre all that just further proves it , im so sure you have 3 houses and have travelled the world. good for you trying to prove yourself to somebody on the INTERNET. lmfao what a laugh you are giving me right now

[olivejk]

@1MarsTS Notice how you didn't answer any of my questions, you idiot. I don't need to prove anything, especially to a low-life like you. I'm just showing how much you talk through your asshole. Besides, you're the one trying to "prove yourself...on the INTERNET". You started this, you moron, remember? Your idiot father should've jerked off rather than impregnate that whore mother of yours. Shit heads like you are why Roe v. Wade is so important. So drop dead....this conversation is over.

[1MarsTS]

@olivejk I didn't answer you because I did not want to lower myself to your levels. I am just so thankful people as mature as you are , are born. Not.

[TumisHumis]

ilold at the movie, makes me laugh that liberals can watch it and protest war. War solves these problems.

[Rebapep]

Yes it was VERY disturbing to watch....It is hard to believe that this horror is still happening today..just to get rid of his wife ! There is no words to describe this. ...sooo sad .....

[cr9527]

@MinervaLucis

So you are saying the story is not true, and yet you state the Sharia allows the executions.

Iran operates under strict Sharia law.

[truthwillsetyoufree]

TEXAS the state where ex President BUSH is from - LEGALISES EXECUTIONS.

That means, the states in the USA EXECUTE & MURDER CRIMINALS - TO THIS DAY.

Go FIGURE.

WAKE UP PEOPLE - THE ENEMY IS YOUR OWN STATE.

ZIONISM RULES YOU.

FASCISM RULES YOU.

PLEASE STUDY AARON RUSSO - KILLED BY THE CIA FOR RELEASING TOO MUCH TRUTH => ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT OF AMERICA.

It's MUCH more DEADLY than ONE IS LED TO BELIEVE...

PERIOD.

NOW GO PROTEST MURDERS BY EXECUTIONS => IN THE USA PLEASE.

[cr9527]

@truthwillsetyoufree

Death Penalty for murderers is a whole different animal to stoning to death for adultery.

[truthwillsetyoufree]

@cr9527

The Death penalty for the *innocent* killed and murdered in Palestine every day - by US & ISRAELI forces is a whole different animal to stoning for a crime. It is fully wrong to stone anyone who is innocent, and proved to be innocent.

In Islam if you have commited adultery one must either testify against themselves - or produce "4" witnesses as well as Proof that it was commited by person.

If countries do not operate by Islamic law - it's not Islam's problem - as Islam is fair & just.

[cr9527]

@truthwillsetyoufree

Yes, warfare is entirely different from the justice system. Warfare simply cannot be placed under the same scrutiny. (P.S. Strawman)

Adultery does NOT justify stoning of a person, regardless of guilt.

Many Muslims demand Sharia in countries that do not follow the Islamic law, and no. Islam is NOT fair and just. Islam treats other religions, namely Christianity and Judaism poorly, Islam also is highly prejudice against women, and unbelievers.

[LA3226]

I think I need to see a psychiatrist after watching that horrible movie. OMG, there are no words. I feel physically sick.

[brockshelgren]

Torture, abuse and cruelty should be a humane issue and NOT gender based. In this movie every single man is an immoral, loathsome, smelly, hairy, selfish, stupid evil monster that preys on innocent women. This is the same trite thematic crap that's kept stupid audiences gawking for decades. Most audiences are hypnotized by about 3 or 4 repetitive themes. Movie makers know this and are quick to cash in on it. Moreover, man-hating women love it because it feeds their "victim-hood" story.

[MyMiranda20]

@brockshelgren Hey, you're obviously a guy cuz u cant possibly understand this film bcuz these things dont happen to men. You need to show more respect bcuz death is no laughing matter, im just saying

[brockshelgren]

This movie is crap. The only reason people rave is the barbarism is enacted on a beautiful woman. The audience reaction is typical and entirely sexist because a similar movies where the "victim" is a man wouln't amount to even a footnote in an obscure review. People just can't conceive of ANY beautiful woman being torn to shreds by a stoning. They rarely have throughout history. With men, however, it's commonplace. This movie also promotes misandry. People are so gullible.

[libbeingcool]

@brockshelgren

wtf? this is about human rights!! this women was stoned to death b/c of merely being accused of adultery. STONING = TORTURE, slow death. The law system is corrupt!! Who gives a fucking shit about the movie, this is reality !!

[linkus1]

Your Beautiful

[CamilliaTepes]

Absolutely breathtaking movie. Cried my eyes out for how unjust her death was. So much symbolism and lies. I've never hated a man so much until her husband started to accuse her. It's a must see movie, more emotional than the Passion of Christ. Far more. With more meaning as well. I encourage strength in all women of the world.

[elsoda]

i watched it last nite...very very disturbing yet beautifully filmed. EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH this movie..EVERYONE.

[khightshospitaller]

The nightmare must end for women in Islamic countries

[khightshospitaller]

Islam must never be allowed to impose its sharia system of justice anywhere in the West and around the world. No sharia courts should be permitted outside of the Islamic world. The Quran the ultimate source of sharia oppresses women specifically and people generally.

[Tarafriend33]

You're right honey! America especially is so spoiled and lazy that it takes a movie like this to wake them up to this truth. Most will certainly not do the research by themselves.

[Palaverer]

This movie cut me to the heart.

[ganthonyvr]

fuck the rednecks they can kiss my hanging ball and make them shiny

[JigareTehroon]

How could people possibly say its got nothing to do with islam? and dare to call those who believe it does, ignorant. You're the ignorant ones, after the islamic revolution in 1979 in Iran stoning was brought into the country, I'm Iranian myself and I've been to Iran before. I had a muslim friend who's cousin was sent to an islamic school in London, after a few weeks they asked him what he's learnt in school so far, and he replied back 'how to kill a Jew if we see one'. what does that tell you?

[KissesFromHeaven07]

I wanted to see this, but I'm only 16 and I'm very emotional. Thank you for the review! P.S> Do you think it would be to much for a teen to watch?

[JigareTehroon]

@KissesFromHeaven07 I would consider watching with somebody else as well, especially if you're emotional.

[KissesFromHeaven07]

@JigareTehroon Thanks

[SaracenWarrior]

Village people in Iran just like Rednecks in America have the same kind of blind justice. I had the same feeling watching movies about Redneck Right Wing Christian Extremists. In southern West Virginia, there is an area that there is no running water or electricity. The people who live there don't stone you, they shoot you for putting your foot on their mountain. Of course these Un-Islamic things like stoning is something that needs to be corrected by Muslims, however rednecks are the same.

[LA6616]

the stoning of Sorsya M. movie review!

i thought it was about a huge fan of THE rolling stones!

[STPFFS]

If a woman is raped she has to provide 4 witnesses. Bear in mind that a woman's testimony in court is half that of a man. So that means 4 male witnesses. If the woman dosn't provided the witnesses then she is considered guilty of adultery and is either flogged, imprisoned or stoned to death.

Women and children suffer this injustice.

[marshallhwa]

fuck islam,

[moorejr1400]

@marshallhwa

You should say f-- corruption NOT islam.

[williamjohnson13]

I don't know how I finished watching this movie. I couldn't eat, nor could I sleep. I keep looking at the picture of the actress Mozhan Marnò, and telling myself, she is fine, she is ok,, she is not hurt, that was just a movie, that was not true, .... I have to say I can't take this. Someone has to pay for it.

[kinoni86]

@williamjohnson13 but it was not just a movie, its actually a true story since this event actually happened to a woman about 20 yrs ago, and it this still happens today

[the147break]

it wasnt for the uploader

[the147break]

dont blame islam its not the rule of islam to through stones it just happens in some shit countries, like iran and like the taliban in afghanistan taliban say they are muslim and they obey the islam, but they are wrong, these countries has made these rules themselves, Quran never says to kill an innocent, so dont blame islam blame these bastards countries, these bastard people these people are,nt human they are pigs islam isnt that strict, islam never says to kill an innocent plz!dont blam islam

[arijetazemer]

Clare4278: This I was afraid of.. people thinking this is Islam.. NO NO NO this isnt ISLAM, this is extreme people... Don´t you here the old woman in the end? He says God is great, and she responds: Yes, Allah akbahr. Meaning that Allah WILL punish him for what he did. This is NOT accepted by 99.999999% of the muslim people... NEVER think that!

[mambosdapenguin]

..isn't it sharia law or whatever u call it? that adulturers must be stoned to death?

[Clare4278]

I saw this movie and its horrific but its a MUST SEE! It amazes me that these women live in fear for their life everyday! And to think 20,000 ppl are converting to Islam everyday...20,000 americans!

[cymbeli]

How do you see it?? Is it still in theaters or do you rent it?

[SamuelCyrus]

you can now rent it on DVD. It was in theaters briefly. JUST released on DVD. And BlockBuster did not show it on their 'to-be-released' list. I tell my friends if they like horror movies (which I HATE - should be XXX rated) they should see this.

[jloroberto]

i just aw this movie and every thing she says in this is true :(...xoxo

[AlleluiaElizabeth]

you forgot Jim Caveziel. lol

But thanks very much for this review. I showed it to my freind to tell her about the movie.

[hannahiruk]

i live in england and i looked everywhere to find this film plz plz plz if you know where i can buy it from plz tell me

[SamuelCyrus]

Just out on DVD but way way way under the radar on most of the major distributors. I checked in on BlockBuster last week after asking about it for a year or so.

[iranproud2009]

check out my channel about iranian history ... iran is agreattt country with rich and beautiful history .... some iranian villages follow those arabs culture cuz they r not educated !!!!!!!!!

[SamuelCyrus]

I love Iran (Persia). I just wish the people could live in peace and freedom to follow their faiths - Bahai, Christian, Jews, Shia, Sunni without being intimidated, tortured and murdered. God please let them.

[TheDirtynigga]

so why doesent your government do something about it like im srilankan and damn fuck your islam religion

[moorejr1400]

@TheDirtynigga That is not islam, and the movie is trying to past this off as sharia law, sharia law is very broad in Islam, brushing your teeth after every meal is sharia law, but does tat mean you need a cop to watch you do it? no, so this movie is giving the wrong impression of sharia law not to say people dont misuse or abuse it,

[moorejr1400]

@TheDirtynigga

What are you talking about? Islam doesnt teach this, stoning has in actuality a very long history, so what i am saying is that, if iran was not an so-called islamic nation, you would get the same problem, they did it before islam got there.

[JigareTehroon]

@moorejr1400 YES IT DOES ITS ALL ISLAM AND TEACHINGS OF ISLAM THAT'S RUINED IRAN, RIGHT AFTER THE ISLAMIC REVOLTUION STONING WAS BROUGHT INTO THE COUNTRY AS A PUNISHMENT.

[moorejr1400]

@JigareTehroon You need to watch the movie again, because it was even described in this movie the imam of the town was corrupt, so was mayor, etc. How can you use a perversion to describe how something should be? Can you use the 'jIM Crow Laws" to represent the Constituion? As for stoning you should see what harm this f--king shah did to his own people while selling out his own countrymen for weath with western powers, there is much footage of MAJORITY OF IRANIANS PROTESTING FOR THE AYATULLAH!

[sakurasango]

@moorejr1400 How can u say such a thing. u need to watch the movie again. It is the Iranian regime that allow for these corrupt people to run in positions of power, am i not correct?Its funny how ur defense is to attack the shah, when we know they were both awful governing systems. Also, watch the news for once and see the protests from the brave Iranians people against the regime. Plus, if u love the government in Iran go and live there (or other messed up places) and kiss the government asses.

[moorejr1400]

@sakurasango Its easy to say such a thing, because that regime is not islamic to begin with, IN ISLAM YOU HAVE A KHALIFA, NOT A PRESIDENT CLERGY, ALLATULLAHS, MULLAHS, ETC. so the system is packaged as "islam" but you have political elite controlling the country under islam, to undestand this better, there is no Muslim Country today, as mentioned by islamic Scholars the world over, you have a dual system, secular and sharia law, which corrupts the sharia law, so you dont get true islamic nation

[MrIhateislam100]

@moorejr1400 more muslim excuses 

[moorejr1400]

@MrIhateislam100 Call it what you want you just want to deny truth. Maybe you want islam to be violent for an EXCUSE to attack it.

[MrIhateislam100]

@moorejr1400 islam is very violent , there is no way around it , it is the most violent cult today , your lying and tagiyya deosn't change the truth that islam is worse than nazism and kkk , look at your sharia law , you must be fucked in the head to think islam is not violent

[SkaRocksYea]

@moorejr1400 Islam IS violent. And YOU'RE a fag.

[moorejr1400]

@SkaRocksYea That shows how much you know! if you can't confront me with logic, what do you do? mindless insults and stupidity, but i expect this from you. You are saying islam is violent and you use words of hate to speak to me, maybe you should take a minute and look into a mirror, because maybe what you see there is the REAL villian.

[libbeingcool]

@SkaRocksYea

Islams are filthy. Stoning? Who does that??? They don't even have proper forms of capital punishment. Theyre disgusting

[yourenotsmartenough]

@MrIhateislam100 hehe, a thumbs up!

[RAF1TO]

Does anyone know where I can watch this online...I've been trying for weeks.

[imerolin]

is still showing in cinemas?i can not find it on line .hellppppppppp

[SaraBanooi]

Amnesty International has spoken out against this movie for its false portrayal of the legal system in Iran. It is true that a women named Soraya M was stoned in some rural village in Iran twenty five years ago, but that's the only truth to it. Everything from the stoning process to the culture is false. It's absolutely ridiculous to see that people are fooled so easily by propaganda tools like this movie.

[MChell87]

wtf

[drewmitch44]

yea its true and oboma just sits there and does nothing even though people of Iran want a free election!! He lets them die and sets there and tells people its out of our hands!!

[hilde1813]

thats what i think ,you`re right. Disappointing!Where is the world??? They all look away. Perhaps there is no money to make. capitalismus is only looking for more profit, anything else does`nt matter.This world is very cold and life is very short...

[SamuelCyrus]

Capitalism seeks to achieve prosperity and freedom and not be subject to govermental whim. Think Robin Hood. The 'rich' Robin and his Merry Men were stealing from was the government who had the guns and the land. So far, that does not exist in countries with Free Minds and Free Markets (i.e. 'capitalism). But those who envy and believe that they are smarter and should make ALL of your decisions for you, are working actively to subvert your freedom and ability to achieve prosperty.

[SamuelCyrus]

The universe is beautiful and filled to overflowing with possibilities and while life certainly is short, it is precious and important. Every life IS a universe. Rejoice! This is the day that the Lord has made. And you have some very important things to do revolving around love and life and laughter and your talents before you did. Really.

[esabrieva]

like hell it doesn't!!! It is all true. It is real and it is hapening now adays. OPEN YOUR EYES YOU SILLY WESTERNERS AND TAKE IN THE WHOLE TRUTH OF THE REALITY.

[moorejr1400]

also beware of that fact that this is a propaganda movie tool, which would try to encourage western nations to invade iran to put democracy (REALLY EMPIRALISM AND TAKE THEIR OIL)

[SlowMotionRedLights]

The Stoning of Soraya M is a great movie. However, in response to Gettie04, it does NOT represent IRANIAN culture. It is a punishment that has been imposed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, Which if you have been watching the news recently, will see, that there is nothing Iranian about the current government.

[moorejr1400]

@SlowMotionRedLights

There's more, first of all its a perversion of islamic law which means its not islamic, even though even if they say allahu akbar, they could say "Ed Sullivan" or "Rolling Stones Rocks" as they stoned her, this movie to me seems a propaganda tool to encourage us to invade iran.

[MrIhateislam100]

@SlowMotionRedLights sharia law permits stoning , kiling of gays , marriage to little girls and other horrific things

[kaluski]

@SlowMotionRedLights...what are you talking about? A people is made up of its culture and ithe "laws" accepted and practised within a people shows the people's mindset.

Culture: The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought accepted by a people.

Sharia law is part of the culture of Iran. What you should say is that they are seeing how horrible some of the sharia law aspect of it is and are trying to rid it.

[cr9527]

@SlowMotionRedLights

Really, so the Islamic Republic of Iran, from the result of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, which installed the government that named the country "Islamic Republic of Iran", which still rules the country today has nothing to do with the current government?

[sammygee17]

@SlowMotionRedLights

...except that iranians kicked out the shah who encouraged a secular government and replaced him with the ayatollah. i'd say the current government is pretty iranian

[kfsjr2]

deeply disturbing and profoundly moving....the emotional impact of this movie lingers and does not quietly escape...my wife and I were both haunted by the experience...a MUST see experience

[PersoAryanism]

@kfsjr2 DEATH TO AMERICA

[Ahmyra]

@PersoAryanism

Yeah that really helps, writing stuff like that..

Thank heaven you dont speak alone for your people, you just put shame on them...

Death to NO nation, NO religion - HARM to those who does EVIL in the name of those thing!

Argh! All this hate all around, damn it makes me sad for the human race....

[gettie40]

I just saw this movie and it was quite graphic but informative about the Iranian culture

[SaraBanooi]

this has nothing to do with Iranian culture.

[gettie40]

I just saw this movie tonight and it was very informative about the Iranian culture, and it was quite graphic-and haunting.

[RobGoth100]

Thanks for the review. I never go to the cinema anymore but I will see this.
