Here’s some free advice for any movie characters out there: If you ever happen to stumble upon a random bag full of money — and it’s not much of a stretch to assume that you might someday — the very first thing you should do is look up and check if the opening credits are still floating in the air nearby. If you see the words “directed by Peter Farrelly,” you might be in for a pretty good time and an even better tuxedo. If you see the words “directed by Joel and Ethan Coen,” I regret to inform you that you’re already dead. But in the event that you should come across a sudden windfall only to turn your…

Absolutely wrecked me.
This is the closest thing I’ve seen to The Bicycle Thieves, and I imagine my experience was similar to the experience of watching that for the first time in the 40s. While it presents a different situation, it also presents a scenario that makes you question your own morals, and digs into the meaning and consequences of a man’s actions, both his good and cruel intentions.
This is my first Farhadi movie, (I’ve been told I should see A Separation for ages) and it was an incredible experience watching this film. A fault of many auteurs is they attempt to conquer too many themes in their film, causing it to get over bloated. Farhadi is laser focused…

یک. فیلمِ قاب در قاب‌ها. قهرمان را در بخش بزرگی از فیلم میان چارچوب درها و پشت حصارها و شیشه‌ها و لایه‌هایی از رفت و آمدِ ماشین‌ها و آدم‌ها می‌یابیم. او در بافت بصریِ فیلم همیشه در تنگناست و نیز پیوسته به عنوان جزوی از کلیتی بزرگتر به تصویر کشیده می‌شود. او را نه فردی یگانه و متفاوت از دیگران، که یکی میان و شبیهِ همه می‌یابیم. مصداق بصریِ این مسئله نماهای متعددی از مبلمان و ساختار شهریِ شیراز است که قهرمان و البته پسرش را همچون ذره‌ای سرگشته میان آدم‌ها و آهن‌ها به تصویر می‌کشد. و مصداق دراماتیک‌اش آنکه همه همچنانکه نیت خیر دارند، در ظاهرسازیِ هم شریک‌اند. نگاه دوربین در نماهای ابتدایی همچون راوی‌ای دانای کل او را…

“We are all villains in someone else's story”
I drove 233 miles to another country just to watch this, do i have any regrets? the simple answer is NO.
This is probably one of the best screenplays I’ve ever seen in my life. -
Asghar Farhadi is truly the most consistent filmmaker working today. His films exist in a nuanced moral gray area in a world that desires clean black and white, clear right and wrong. He might not ever meet perfection again, like he did in A Separation, but every film of his is so well thought out in regards to truth mixed with lies, he just doesn't miss in my opinion.
A Hero is another exceptional film in this way. It follows a prisoner (Amir Jadidi) who is imprisoned for his inability to pay a substantial debut. He is on leave for two days and attempts to first sell 17 gold coins found in a purse by his fiancée and when that…

A HERO finds Asghar Farhadi telling a compelling story about the fine lines between truth & lies, honor & humiliation, right & wrong. Amir Jadidi is great. Sympathetically shows how a seemingly simple act of kindness can grow into an entangled web of stress inducing complications.

"Don't do anything that would disgrace you or your family." - Mme Radmehr
See where it ranks among my top films of 2021!
This was a moral dilemma of what's right and what's honorable and a depressing study on acts of kindness in modern society. Despite good intentions, a little white lie can always lead to more harm than good, and watching this snowball was hard to watch. Many of the comparisons to Uncut Gems feel warranted, but I also think a comparison to Dear Evan Hansen also feels apt since they feature a spiraling lie of control plotline.
Like I mentioned before, it's an interesting morality piece because it examines how modern society reacts to acts of kindness such…

We’ve all had that feeling of being misunderstood - that sense that we’re a better person than people are giving us credit for, and that what they’re judging us on is more a product of their own prejudices rather than our own guilt. And we’ve also all tried to put ourselves forward in the best possible light - to try to influence people’s impressions of us and make them like us perhaps more than we deserve. A Hero takes these two ideas and spins them into a riveting drama about a man who tries to do the right thing, hoping to make a good impression, only to face condemnation.
Rahim is a young man who is serving time for a…

«تو یا خیلی زرنگی یا خیلی ساده‌ای.»
اصلاً از امیر جدیدی خوشم نمیومد، تا اینکه بازیِ متفاوت و قهرمانانه‌ش رو اینجا دیدم. اون خنده‌ای که به‌سختی از صورتش محو میشد و اون بازی‌‌های بی‌نظیر بدنش. فرهادی سبک کاملاً متفاوتی از بازی امیر جدیدی رو برام رو کرد. حال‌وهوای نئورئالیست و روایت نئوفرمالیستِ فیلم رو دوس داشتم و به‌نظرم فرهادی در نئورئالیستی‌ترین شکلش در قهرمان ظاهر شده. (بی‌جهت نیست که حس‌و‌حال بیشتر سکانس‌ها، دزد دوچرخه رو به ذهنم میاورد) قاب‌بندی‌ها گاهی دلربا بود و گاهی تو ذوق میزد اما در کل از فیلمبرداریش خوشم نیومد. ایده و پیام جذابی داشت ولی دیالوگ‌ها و فیلمنامه به قوت سابق نبود. به نظرم زمان فیلم هم طولانی‌تر از حدی بود که می‌طلبید. همین که… -

Farhadi is a good storyteller, his screenplays are exciting stories that can easily exist in each of our lives.
Amir Jadidi leaves a completely different role in this film than all the films we have seen from him so far. The "hero" of Farhadi's film is a slice of the life of a superhero who has neither a cape nor a mask and blindfold. The superhero of his film is a simple man who eats the stick of his simplicity. -
بعد از دو سال دوری از سینما، «قهرمان» اصغر فرهادی را دیدم. فیلمی که در کنِ فرانسه جایزه‌بزرگ گرفت حالا آن را شانس اول اسکار بهترین فیلم خارجی می‌دانند. اول از همه، این فیلم تمام شاخصه‌های فیلم‌های قبلی فرهادی را دارد: درگیری‌های داخل خانوادگی، چالش‌های اخلاقی، وجدانی و اجتماعی، شخصیت‌پردازی‌های نسبتاً خوب. اما یک عامل «قهرمان» را از باقی فیلم‌های فرهادی متمایز کرده و جهانش را اجتماعی‌تر کرده؛ آن هم دخیل‌شدنِ شبکه‌های اجتماعی و تاثیر بسیار آن بر زندگیِ رحیم، شخصیت اصلی داستان، است. رحیم که به خاطر پولی که نتوانسته برگرداند در زندان است و برای دو روز از زندان مرخصی می‌گیرد. او پسری دارد که لکنت زبان دارد و با مربی گفتاردرمانی او فرخنده در رابطه است. فرخنده…
