I loved how this movie had some women characters that shows the exact
situation of Iranian women. The old lady: "Oh...thank god you are
alive.Thank you for saving him.He is my everything.I can't live without
him."These are the words of an old lady in a 35 year-old marriage
toward his husband which has been cheating on her for 3 years!How dumb
is she!? It's the story of many women in Iran which because of their
situation should obey their husbands and love them blindly. Raana: She
has been raped but she doesn't have the courage to sue also she is so
embarrassed that this may become a discredit to her. The prostitute:
Imagine A mother with a young daughter what should she do for a
living?Nothing in a society specified for Men but to sell her body to
those Men! And finally the woman in the taxi: This woman knows the
situation of all the women above. she is now a women who had lost her
trust to all men.Either something happened to her or to her friends she
now sees men all like together.She's so paranoid that she doesn't see
that Emad is doing nothing.
There are many other scenes i loved about the film for example when one
of the student asked "how does a man become a cow?"and Emad answered
"gradually" and It was actually proved during the film when an old man
doesn't find it shameful to touch someone's wife while a kid find it
shameful to go to bathroom with his mother's friend!!So again a man
gradually becomes a cow!!
