I cannot possibly see how anyone can side with Simin. She wants Nader to abandon his father who , despite not recognizing him, needs his son's love and attention. It is much worse to do so than to forfeit a better life for his daughter - after all, his daughter is still cared for (he wouldn't be betraying her by staying in Iran). Simin is pressuring Nader to make a choice that is beyond reprehensible. Just think about this and tell me the role she doesn't play in the outset is not villainous.
No she says "He won't leave with me" I speak Farsi. In the movie, the woman wants to leave Iran and live in Germany with their daughter, but her husband wants to stay in Iran to take care of his father.
I'd like to use this opportunity to congratulate my fellow Persian people. Director Asghar Farhadi's achievement on winning the Oscar a few hours ago felt like my own victory.
@BTOF I think the only reason they didn't nominate it this year was because it might have been past the voting deadline. Like, it literally came out RIGHT before 2012 (Dec. 30). But if the deadline still wasn't over, yeah, I'd say it was a mistake for them not to nominate this.
@cssftw100 My guess is that that is because the shitty ones don't make it across to us. I'm sure if you went to Paris, Tokyo, Tehran even, and went to a theatre and watched all of their films, a good chunk of them would be pretty shit.
@kevincgrabb on the contrary, i have witnessed many Iranian movies, and non have I ever seen to be called "shit", you will never , ever understand the true masters piece of Iranian movies unless you are Iranian. Iranian always had great movies and great actors.
this movie for me is right there at the level of top-top movies(like shawshank redemption, pianist)...i think 8.6 in IMDB doesn't justify how beautiful this movie is !! -- Greeting from INDIA
someone please recommend any other good iranian films(modern recent films)..i've watched quite a few old iranian films(filmed in the 80s and early 90s)...i wanna watch newer films(made in the last few years)...thank you.
@AnOTHERPRoDUCTi0N what's series? is that the title of a movie??? i google SERIES but no iranian movie showed up. i'm from india & am a big fan of iranian movies...i hope to someday visit iran(i can't afford to now because of busy lifestyle)...but someday, before i leave this earth, i know i will drop by iran. the landscape(esp remote mountain villages) look so beautiful.
@heomak watch Reza Motori, its by one of the best actors of Iran, best movies before the revolution of Iran. His name is Behrouz Vossoughi, Also I would check out Samad!, very funny and ingenious acting and directing.
@heomak If you want anymore jsut ask me, i have a website that you can watch serials and movies, i think it has subtitles im not too sure as i dont really pay attention to such when im watching.
@AnOTHERPRoDUCTi0N yes please send me the link to the website where i can watch iranian movies(i hope they have english subtitles or else i won't be able to understand what they're saying)...thanks
asghar farhadi ( the director) is great!!! he is a legend ... I remember his last movie too ... about eli ... he is fantastic ... and a sepration was perfect ... thank you sir for your wonderful job ... thanks for presenting iran ... viva persia!
@TheBr0ws3r By that logic all the idioms in Persian should be translated word by word into English. This is called translation , It might not match every word but will replace those words with appropriate words in the target-language.
This trailer is horrible, it gives way too much away yet is misleading at the same time. BRILLIANT film, hands down my favorite film of the year but this trailer does it no justice.
btw the way im from Greece , Fuck u ! arbs movies much better then yr movie , check how many egyptian movies got award and see how many arb actor are famous around the words ... Stop racist !!
@armanda655 i just pointed out the fact that this is a persian movie because some poeple were confusing it with arabs...in any case it doesn't concern me...i'm not arab or persian...i'm an american.
I go to the Japanese for good dramas(Koreeda, Ozu, Yijo Yamada, etc.). These films are often boring, slow, even grueling. But always such an emotional impact at the end. This was different. It had that emotional impact at the end, but absorbing throughout; the directional and quick editing style, the weight filled dialog. Staggeringly realistic drama. A rare film. You don't need the patience of a saint to enjoy this one. One of the very best movies I've ever seen. And the best of the year.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i'd LOVE this film if it wasn't iranian :( -but its about the people so i 'might' watch it, as long as there isn't any government propaganda bullshit in there :)
@phoney98 if it's been at that many film festivals, chances are there won't be any 'government propaganda bs'. Not watching a film because of the country it comes from is ridiculous and unfair. In my opinion Iranian films are amongst the very best in the world, perhaps you'll agree with me if you watch gems like Children of Heaven, Song of the Sparrows (directed by Majid Majidi) and Offside (directed by Jafar Panahi).
nothing like a movie with a plot in any language....and marriage and family life well that is universal. key with movies is move it along with "plot points" this has that.
Ha! This looks like one of the most decent movies off all recently uploaded by MovieClipsTRAILERS yet not much comments on it.... shows people rather prefer watching brainless flicks like Cabin in the Woods over this... smh
@bee5120 odd I am more for the films with plots and sometimes foreign films do that well as this one does, but I thought the Cabin in the Woods trailer looked good too, and I don't usually go for that genre....key is plot points to move it along in unpredicatable ways. HUGO in 3-D was great by the way for all ages in all nations. BEST.
go to IMDB and check out some other movies. I haven't watched this but I'm pretty sure that it has nothing on Colour of Paradise. That's my favorite Iranian movie.
@goooooooooooooz Agreed! from what I've heard, Yek Habbe Ghand's very good too! Iranian movies are very good in general, because they follow the things that they're suppose to follow!
