confession !?

from among movies my brother has sent me, Mehrjouyee's "Mom's Guests" (Mehman-e Maman) has been the one i have not only enjoyed watching but have been thinking how the overall framework of the culture belonging to the iranians with lower education and low-rank jobs has not changed much, not at least since the wartime when Mehrjouyee made "The Lodgers" (Ejareneshin-ha).
the movie is based on a story written by Moradi Kermani and has traces of sadness, poverty and sympathy. the director, however, knowing the depth of all these, features the very details of this culture, which i find quite rooted in the bases of the last 250 years of highs and lows in iran.
there is more about it (in persian) here.

i should confess i laughed a lot watching it, and enjoyed this precision in showing the details. although i was also thinking how we can expect these people to practice logic and prudence in much bigger and more important issues like deciding about the future of the country!!!
