Seeking common ground while reserving differences actually has a very solid foundation

1. The conversation that took place in this taxi, the life of the passengers and the life of the female driver can take place in China. We have overemphasized cultural differences and ignored the amazing similarities of life content. Regardless of the living standard, relationship experience, family situation, you can't see how Iran is different from Beijing and Shanghai.

2. "Taxi" filmed by Jaffa Panasi in 2015 should be like a tribute to Abbas. That film talked about politics, ideological censorship, media, etc. This film mainly talks about women's life situation and emotional life.

3. This is the result of globalization and the inevitable development of human society. We put more emphasis on the differences between each other, but ignored the surprising similarities between them.

4. The women here are so beautiful

    In Abbas's footage, only the driver's seat and the person in the passenger seat are talking, but he can "see" Iran's sophistication and feminism from it.

    Who doesn't yearn for free, unfettered space? Abbas found the car, a space more cramped than the prison, and then confined a newly divorced female driver. The passengers in the car came and went, the old women who prayed, the prostitutes, and the women trapped in love, gradually pieced together the life of Iranian women. The true picture scrolls, the secrets under the headscarf and the unspoken accusations, women are no longer the objects of scrutiny, they have to stand up and tell their stories
