The oppression in this movie is multilayered. The daughter was a bit more in touch with what was going on than the mother from the very beginning. It took the mother a great deal of time to come to grips with there being a hidden entity who gained access to their home after the missile strike. This denial enabled her to continue to trick the mother and daughter and maintain a level of oppression over them until the end.
I just saw this on Netflix. I liked it but it felt like a toned down version of the Babadock(sp???) I felt it was at its best when it wasn't dealing with the supernatural horror but with the horoors of being a woman with a daughter living in Iran.
Also I wanted to add that this is the only good Jinn horror movie ( and I specifically mean _"Jinn"_ not "Genie" ). Incidentally "Under The Shadow" is not just good, but really good. On many levels. ...btw I don't mean that it's the only truly good one. It is the _only_ good one. Invert the level of its quality into the negative spectrum and you'll have an idea of how laughably bad the other ones are. You've been warned ;)
Responding to this rather old comment you made years ago: I have to agree with you on this. This is the best Djinn movie outside the Genie genre that I've seen to date. The child was a bit more in touch with what was going on than the mother from the very beginning. It took the mother a great deal of time to come to grips with what was happening even when the evidence was right in front of her. This seemed to enable the entity to continue to trick them and maintain a level of oppression over them until the end.
+Арсений Брилёв For my filters, no. The main thing it tries to catch is really young accounts with very little activity, since those are, more often than not, spam accounts. Every now and then it's someone who's just new to Twitter.
It certainly does leave questions. Since the head of the doll was left behind. Was that part enough to lock the Djinn to this child for the rest of her life or did she really escape the oppression?
To me, it felt like the horror was not needed: the bombings are a much bigger threat than ghosts and yet they don't leave, unlike everyone else in the apartment, because the girl can't find her doll and the mother is stubborn. Why are the ghosts needed when bombs, a very real threat, are present in the film?
@@PasteurizedLettuce Are you Persian? If you're speaking the language, you call it Farsi. If you're speaking English, you call it Persian. It's like French/Francais or Gernan/Deutsch. The correct form depends on which language you're speaking.
I really wanted to like it but it just never did anything for me? I'm a big fan of slow burns (especially in horror films) but I just found that there was never anything interesting in it for me to pay attention to? Aside from the obvious feminist lense the film is taking in regards to how it's exploring the conflict and the oppression of women, it just seemed like a bland horror film to me? Maybe I missed something or wasn't paying enough attention but idk.

I watched it on Netflix last week because I remembered that you mentioned this film in a video. I'm so glad I did.
One of the best horror movies I have ever seen
So are you going to do a longer video about this movie, it sonds like it couldtbe interesting.
+Mads Hummelshøj-Agerholm I would like to, yes.

Definitely watch it; it's available on Netflix.

I knew there was something I was missing after watching this and you've made me appreciate this movie on a deeper level. Thank you
This sounds really interesting. I'm gonna have to make it a point to check it out.
I love your interpretation of the ending

Sounds amazing
I am sorry for being offtopic, but I have found myself in your blacklist on twitter...did I do something wrong? I am sorry if I did...
+Арсений Брилёв Probably a false positive one of the automated filters.
Folding Ideas Ah okay. Sorry to bother you, and thanks for quick reply.
+Арсений Брилёв What's your Twitter handle?
Folding Ideas Thank you! Thank you very much! Is there anything I should avoid doing to not get blacklisted again? Just for the future...

She lost her daughter at the end. What’s so happy about that.
She rides off with her daughter. Although the jinn is still following her

That's not how you pronounce Iran, and the name of the language is Persian
I know this is an old comment but Farsi is the endonym
