    A bitter taste

    Although I love Iranian movies, I have to admit that I am not impressed. It lasts too long and in every minute you can't see any shiny sparkle. Even though the main actor is good, the story is a bit weak. I know, it is the story of a poor middle-aged man who struggles to survive poverty and who loses hope to live blaming all around, even those who are giving him a chance, but it should be packed in less time. The only thing which can help in seeing the entire film project is its cinematography. After watching it you will have a bitter taste and the thought that you watched someone's misfortune, and in any case you didn't want to watch it.

    Hitler's format in world war 3

    The movie World War III by Homan saydi states a law; Anyone with any characteristics in the situation and conditions of any person acts like that person.

    World War III comes out of World War II The structure of the film is similar to the structure of the atom, which has a nucleus inside itself, and the most mass is concentrated in the nucleus of the film. In the forest, when the set is being built, the mirrors give the news of the reflection of the world inside the core of the film to the outside, which means that the disaster is going to come out of the core. Shakib turns World War II into World War III in Hitler's cover. In order to prove that he can be the author, Homan Sidi has done the production, directing, writing and editing of the film, and also by choosing the topic of paying homage to authors such as Chaplin, Spielberg, Tarantino, he has shown the theme and color of his film. Sometimes it reminds me of Tarkovsky's film Mirror and There Will Be Blood by Paul Thomas Anderson.

    the ending was what I expected

    It's not easy to watch I don't like this type of movie and decided to leave it several times but I didn't.

    Only some people enjoy watching these movies and those people are film critics.

    The story is not complicated, at the beginning everything is normal, and then something will happen that concerns main character, it goes by and continue the same system till the end.

    Fortunately it has a satisfying ending. Even though I don't recommend it to watch.

    If I wanted to describe it in a sentence I would say: When you spend enough time with evil (or in this case evils) soon you learn to become one.

    how a dictator can devour his actor

    Houman Seyyedi has found his own genre. It's as if Houman Seyyedi's signature is at the bottom of the film, even if his name is not in the credits as the director and producer and writer and editor of this film. The brilliant performance of Mohsen Tanabandeh in this film cannot be easily overlooked. The simple story of the film moves slowly, but it reaches the climax and attracts the audience and leaves the audience speechless like the female character of the film. You can see how a character can sink into the role he is playing and how a dictator can devour his actor in this movie. In general, it can be said that this movie is attractive and has a different place among the recent movies of Iranian cinema.

    Nice movie with unusual end

    Is this movie about Hitler? Is it about World War? Is it about people from the lower class of society? The answer to these questions is negative. This movie is about people. All the people we see in life and we are one of them. But what changes the course of our life and our behavior with life and people are the conditions that are imposed on us. We can be simple and ordinary people that life conditions and people can make us a terrible dictator. What we see in this movie. The main character of the film is a calm and harmless person. But a few things change him. People, society and daily life events. Does the director want to say that Hitler became a brutal dictator because of the conditions imposed on him? The answer to this question is not very clear. But by creating this challenge, the director shows the impact of human relationships and living conditions on people. I gave this movie an 8 and I think that if the scenes related to the movie about Hitler were made more professionally, this movie would definitely have a better chance of success.
