This film was amazing for it's audacity and truthfulness that is rarely seen in Iranian society. This documentary shows both sides of the life that Iranians live. They follow the supporters of Khatemi as well as students who oppose him. There is a candid discussion about the separation of classes, the rich and poor. Those living in poverty make up 70% of the Iranian population and are sorely out of touch with the previous generations. The younger male generation have lost all their ideals and values according to some of the female students interviewed.
An amazing show of emotions was present during the Ashura religious holiday, men openly balling their eyes out in the streets and in a mosque. During the mosque scene the camera shows a man yawning and crying in a comical scene of the film.
This film ends with something we don't think of Iranians doing, a certain "extreme" (not very extreme) sport that involves women running off of a mountain.
Overall this film showed a very objective viewpoint of Iranian life. The subtitles in this film were very helpful and helps the viewer understand what is going on throughout the movie, especially during prayers and songs.
