The director obviously put a great deal of thought into the order he presents the "facts" so that you never know who will say what at which moment under what circumstances and your interest is riveted upon what's going on on the screen at all times. It's themes have the complexity of a slice of "real" contemporary Iranian urban life. If I may be permitted to sound a little "pedantic", his film is a perfect example of what Jacques Derrida calls the "undecidability" of reality本生堂noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574201808962084665.post-38805855144964163392012-03-13T20:01:08.000+08:002012-03-13T20:01:08.000+08:00Thanks for introducing this movie.
Lots of thing...Thanks for introducing this movie. <br /><br />Lots of things can be fixed. But in many cases, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You're aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus, or is boarding a different ship, and you just can't be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn't be.<br />[版主回覆03/13/2012 20:32:29]People do change. Some look backwards toward the past, others looks forward towards the future. Some love their parents, some their children. They shared paths for a short while. Then when they develop at different paces and when their viewpoints become entrenched and their differences become irreconcilable, they split, leaving their children victims of their struggle.超哥noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574201808962084665.post-81006449026482779572012-03-14T09:27:50.000+08:002012-03-14T09:27:50.000+08:00Thanks for sharing, especially the film was set in...Thanks for sharing, especially the film was set in Iran, a country that is catching the world's attention! But there is one point not convincing. Iran is not a backward country and why there are no homes for the old and infirm? Otherwise it really is a good work!<br />[版主回覆03/14/2012 09:47:22]I do not know if there are homes for the aged in Iran. I would strongly suspect that they do have some but from the way that Nader so carefully washed his father and cared for him, I believe that even if there were such in Teheran, he would not have the heart to send his father there. He was prepared to risk a divorce with his wife just to stay behind to look after his father, presumably until he dies.pinkpanther501101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574201808962084665.post-28973876915563119352013-04-15T17:11:14.000+08:002013-04-15T17:11:14.000+08:00I personally think this drama about "absurdit...I personally think this drama about "absurdity" & "impossibility" of life should thank to Hollywood. As a film outside American, I think A Separation really feels like Hollywood film - the pace, the colour, the pace of dialgoues, the well structured beginning and ending etc.<br /><br />And the director can handle "absurdity" & "gender inequality" in such smooth way. The director must need to think to the talent and sacrifice of another Iranian director, Jafar Panahi.<br />[版主回覆04/15/2013 21:03:28]I agree that the pace etc are very much like that of a Hollywood but the acting and the skilllful revelation of what transpired is not very Hollywood and the portrayal of characters is rather more subtle.I haven't seen any film by Jafar Panahi, so I wouldn't know whether this director needed to think of him. But I'll try to see Panahi's film if I got the chance.Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
