I do not know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain. Although Iranian director Asghar Farhadi was in it, he was able to dissect his own nation from the inside soberly and keenly, bloody, naked, and unable to accept it. The director's other work "A Farewell" also praised the compatriots' reverence for faith, but this time there was no praise. On the whole, it is inferior to "A Farewell", which is more meaningful and profound.
The dangerous building at the beginning is a metaphor for the Iranian country, and the makeup metaphor at the end is a metaphor for learning from the West, pretending to be the West, but absent-minded, or impossible to really become the West in one's bones.
Murder is no more than a point. Islamic directors should learn from Hollywood and make more movies about love, so as to gradually transform their nationality and not be isolated by the world.
