this is personally my favorite movie of the year (2021), it just really struck me in a way a lot of the years other critic darlings haven’t.
I love that Alonso knows how to say Iran properly, as opposed to George Bush-style AIRAAAN like so many Americans say it. Great review, great filmmaker, stoked to see this tonight!
I read this review on Amazon after watching the film:
"First, the leading actor really pulls it off. You definitely feel what he is feeling.
However, I found this film slow and boring. Maybe it was boring because it was so slow. The story line is good. Keeps you guessing.
At times I found it a little confusing. And this film is sad, very sad. "
It made me laugh and after experiencing this film I needed a laugh.
I can understand most of the time when people find certain movies boring. There's plenty of slow moving films and a lot of people simply don't like that, but with a film like this one
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would be bored. It's so gripping, the story keeps moving forward, I'm so stressed at every turn. It's amazing stuff.
Lovely hearing you two talk about it!
When people out of Cannes compared this to Uncut Gems, I was confused (and then reassured by other critics saying that comparison was dumb). But having seen the movie now, I totally get it. The anxiety that Farhadi builds up with each unraveling development (as he so masterfully does all the time) felt especially nerve-wracking here.
Right? Then he thinks he's making progress and has to backtrack again, and these seemingly calm conversations become unbearably tense.
I'm shocked you say this movie is ambiguous about whether this man is truly good or not. I find it incredibly obvious that the protagonist is a good guy at heart, but sometimes makes some flawed & impulsive choices. The world throws SO much bullshit at him in this movie that you can't help but feel sad for him by the end of it.
There's a few moments that make it ambiguous. His ex brother in law is the one that makes it ambiguous to me. Most of the film it seems he's 'the bad guy' but by the end I don't see him that way at all. He seemed to have very good reasons for treating the main character the way he does, there's some stuff in their past that isn't entirely clear.
Anyone else reminded of Bicycle Thieves while watching this film? There are many similarities, though A Hero is much more complex.
بله همینطوره . سکانسی که عکس صاحب طلا را همراه پسرش به مردم نشان میداد ادای دین به دسیکا بود . اصغر فرهادی عاشق دزد دوچرخه ی دسیکاست
Yes Farhadi himself has said many times that he has paid homage to De Sica through imagery and using bicycles and other things to make you reflect on old masters of cinema's works.
@@fatemehm2949 Glad to hear that. The portrayal of a flawed father struggling with doing what's right in a difficult situation while his son observes and learns is extremely powerful in both films.
The themes reminded me of the movie Hero with Dustin Hoffman. But A Hero is a much deeper movie
absolutely amazing movie 🎥🔥
I was lucky enough to see this one in a local indie theater. Asghar Farhadi is incapable of making anything less than a compelling picture. This was hard to watch, but assured and riveting at points.
Under the pressure of what is happening in this movie i had to stop watching it for about five minutes and back again .
It's stressful!
I like matt
I really loved this movie up until the final 10 minutes which I admit did not work for me.
You need to revisit this movie. The final 10 minutes are the climax of all the action and suspension throughout the movie. It is the blurry frontier of good and evil and has nothing to do with Iranian culture. It is the universal concept of morality and ethics with no judgment of the roles especially one of the main characters. I give it 10 stars out of 10!.
@Fatemeh M I understand what it was going for but I just felt like it didn't stick the landing.I felt disconnected. It didn't have the emotional punch that it should have. Just my opinion. I still loved the film 8/10
@@SAM-MME You are entitled to your comments. However, in all Farhadi's movies, the landing happens in the audiences' brains! You need to figure out the rest! This style is prevalent in many neorealist movies such as older Italian cinema masters(De Sica, etc.) It was very emotional but the director does not judge characters and lets you decide.
@Fatemeh M I respect your opinion. FYI I love his films and about Elly is one of my favorite films of all time so subtleties in films are not overlooked by me I'm just saying in the case of this film it didn't hit as hard
@@SAM-MME iT HIT ME FOR MORE THAN 5 DAYS AND I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS MOVIE. IN MY OPINION, THIS FILM IS FARHADI'S BEST, THEN THE SALESMAN, AND FINALLY A SEPARATION.
this movie idea is actually taken from a documentary movie made by Azadeh Mehdizadeh, an Iranian woman who attended a clinic with Farhadi and showed him the work, which he subsequently lifted... who really should be getting the Oscar and the fame?
She is an ungrateful student. Farhadi gave her the newspaper clip as an assignment and gave her directions to make her own little movie. She signed a paper that idea is originally based on newspaper and Farhadi. However, as soon as awards were given to Farhadi, she gave in to her opportunistic instinct to make problems and achieve her pathetic 15 minutes of fame!
