The circus enters the village on time

Don't be overly shocked by the ignorance and cruelty shown in this movie, if the shock shows that you are still a child, or an idiot.
The real feeling is that I was in a cold sweat. The crowd holding stones in their hands are the aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, eldest sisters, and children, and of course myself. It's just that the time has not come. And as it stands now, it's almost here. Of course, that "timing" is one of the directions our country is heading. The other opposite is of course what we want, but the possibility is getting slimmer.
This is where my fear of the big crash lies. I often hear people say, it's coming, it's going to collapse! As soon as I heard this, I was very nervous. I felt that I should prepare knives and weapons and find a place where I could build fortifications to fight guerrillas, so as to protect myself and my family, but in fact I probably won't be able to protect anyone by then. If Not killing others in order to protect yourself counts as virtuous.
When you are worried, there is a sense of powerlessness and a deeper sense of despair. Whose child, before going abroad to eat, I said, don't come back as much as possible. He said, why don't you come back? I said, do whatever you want, just don't come back - it's a bit like acting like a spoiled child.
Find two topics in the movie to talk about:
1. The movie revealed a message that Iran during the Shah of Pahlavi was better than after the Islamic Revolution. This is quite funny, the kingdom is actually more human than the republic! This may not be able to prove that the monarchy is superior to the constitutional government, but it proves that the revolution is a very unreliable thing.
2. Religion should evolve. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the Holy See apologized for Bruno's charred corpse, and while it was hilarious, it was an improvement. As far as Christianity is concerned, the Puritans from the Mayflower are more reliable. Of course, the Puritans may also engage in purification movements, but the US political system prevents it from playing that track. By contrast, Islam is still struggling. It's not easy to teach a few "transformations that go deep into the soul."

    The second half was too long. Such a subject does not need to be deliberately provocative at all. Calm and restraint are more effective than sensationalism. And watching the movie, it's hard not to think of Solzhenitsyn's words: "I promise to you, girl, that the whole world will read this."

    A well-made film, but many people quarrel in the film critics around its authenticity. The good thing is that it arouses the audience's curiosity about stoning. What happened in the small mountain village more than 20 years ago, no one is qualified to judge whether it must be true or false. I hope it is not so cruel now.

The Stoning of Soraya M. quotes

  • Freidoune: Why should I listen you, because you say, the voices of women no longer matter anyway in this country.

    Zahra: Hear my story first, you will know why you should listen.

  • Ebrahim: [instructing Soyara] When a man accuses his wife, she must prove her innocence. That is the law. On the other hand, if a wife accuses her husband, she must prove his guilt. Do you understand?

    Zahra: [to Ebrahim] Yes, it's clear, all women are guilty, and all men are innocent. Correct.
