Starting from a vague conflict, and then uncovering the skins of the parties one by one, while at the same time being able to raise the plot to a metaphor, this is the greatness of Fahati.

The core conflict of the show is of course a thrilling scene in the bathroom. Who humiliated an innocent woman? Finding the murderer and resolving the knot has become the core theme of the drama. At first, the hostess couldn't solve it. She didn't dare to go to the toilet or move, she didn't dare to be at home alone. Later, when she returned home with the child, she seemed to forget all this. Then the male protagonist couldn't solve it. At first, it was just irritability, and then it turned into revenge. That night, the mellow macaroni was poured, and his revenge arrogance became more and more vigorous.

Each has its own shame. The heroine has always avoided it, because it is shame and pain. This is the weakness of a woman under the Iranian patriarchal culture. Even her last tolerance, I feel that it is a bit too weak. But what about the hero? As a Westernized person, at first he was able to consider the shame of the heroine, but later he was personally motivated and must have revenge. When his colleagues don't know, he can let it go, but when everyone knows, he hopes to ask for justice, so he specifically asks his classmate's father for help.

On the old man's side, he has always avoided. The perpetrators are afraid of destruction, let alone such a cowardly perpetrator. In the end, he dared not admit that he had gone into the bathroom, and he had no regrets. The director arranged for him to have a heart attack. One of course was to challenge the other party's sympathy, and the other was of course, which made him feel deep in the pain of his body. Regret.

In the final treatment, the director puts everyone in an awkward position: the Avengers don’t want to do so absolutely, but they are at the moral commanding heights, which is also due to human nature; and the perpetrator is shameful, but at least he still knows the shame and also takes care of family and family. Children. The old woman loves him so much, maybe it is infatuation, maybe he really loves her very much. Even, maybe they know that there is someone outside of their father, but they can bear it. The old woman deliberately said that Allah would lead them, maybe there was a deep meaning in it.

This movie does not actually involve the conflict between the middle class and the lower class. I think it can be said of the past when changing any identity. Rather than talking about their identity, it is better to say that their bodies and values ​​have created dramatic conflicts. Wounds on the head, heart disease, fatigue and irritability of the hero, these physical and emotional problems, make the conflict more and more intense.

As for the death of the salesman who crossed it, we can know that a group of Iranian intellectuals play a low-level salesman in a drama, but they still don't understand the salesman's heart. In the drama, the salesman has an affair, but his wife still loves him so much. Although they acted similarly, they didn't really tolerate that kind of life. Although the protagonist hurriedly opened the door when he called the curtain call, but in the end he slapped him again and finally failed to enter the scene.

Generally speaking, I think this time the in-play is not very good. The degree of adhesion between the inside and outside of the play is still relatively low. Compared with a parting, the dramatic conflict is not enough. Instead of acting, it would be better to demolish a few more houses and leave a few unfinished buildings.

The prostitute who never appeared from start to finish can only be said to expose the shame and regret of more Iranian men.
