Murder in the name of God

The Stoning of Soraya M. (Soraya M, who was stoned to death), the plot is very simple. Soraya was directed by her own husband, who was in power, until she was stoned to death by people who did not know the truth.

Adapted from true history. Although you will have a certain psychological preparation from the title, but I really couldn't help twitching tears. This is a brutal and bloody movie. Like "The Cove", it is a heart-wrenching shock.

Soraya was half-buried, with her upper body exposed.

She said she would not cry. she cried.

She said she was wife, daughter, mother, friend. She was beaten to death by her husband, father, children, and friends with stones, small stones, one by one. The corpse was not allowed to be buried, was eaten by dogs, and only a few bones remained.

I still can't forget the look in Soraya's eyes when she lay down on the blood-colored ground, who was full of vermilion, as if from hell.
I can't forget Soraya's husband Ali screaming "this bitch is alive" when he found out she wasn't dead.
It is even more difficult for me to forget the chanting of the uninformed crowd guided by the phrase "by the name of God".
It's even harder for me to forget Soraya's husband saying "nothing" when he was questioned the next day when he found out he couldn't marry a mistress.

Yes, by the name God, anyone can be murdered, for nothing. The momentary joy of the powerful may mean that the farts sleep and die in their sleep in the detention center. Conspiracies, lies, deals, deceit, and human lives seem so insignificant in the face of God's name. The crowd believes that God is always right.

Looking back, I realize just how strikingly similar the events described in this film are to everything in the Celestial Empire.

...........(The middle sensitive word part is omitted)

Another good portrayal, I think, is Hitler with the Nazis. As long as it is right to educate the people that God is right, that person in power can easily use the name of God to obliterate everything, truth, justice, freedom, your power, everything you think you have, the one who is shouting the slogan of God can be murdered in front of them.

Murder you in the name of sensitive words, no reason needed.

    The story is told smoothly, but the drama is too strong, which reduces the credibility and is difficult to move people.

    I can't watch it anymore, I really can't watch it anymore, it's too cruel. The film ends with a 20-minute description of the stoning process, and in some corners of the world this cruel thing is actually still happening at this moment. A certain religion is too scary, and human beings are too scary.

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.
