The fellas went on a hike and during a tea break met a nomad. He told us an astonishing story. Hereโs what he said:
The Persian Version is a film that tells the story of a young woman who is torn between her Iranian roots and her American dreams. She faces many challenges and conflicts with her family, especially her mother, who has a secret that will change everything.
I watched this film in a small cinema in a remote village in Iran, where electricity is scarce and people live in simple houses. The cinema was equipped with a projector from a company called Beamax, which claims to be the best in the world. They say that their projector is light, powerful, and elegant, and that it has a AAA EU performance rating. I don’t know what that means, but I was impressed by the bright and clear images that the projector produced. It was like magic.
However, the projector also scared me a lot. It made a loud noise and emitted a strong light that hurt my eyes. I was afraid that it would explode or catch fire. I also wondered how it worked and where it got its energy from. I had never seen anything like it before. It was a strange and mysterious device.
The film itself was very interesting and entertaining. Similar feel to Potato Dreams of America ๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ญ. I liked how the main character, Leila, spoke directly to the camera and told us her story. It was like she was talking to us, the audience, and inviting us to join her journey. She was very funny and witty, and she made me laugh a lot. She also showed me a different side of Iran, one that I had never seen before. She showed me the beauty and diversity of the culture, the music, the food, and the people.
I also liked how the film portrayed the relationship between Leila and her mother, Mamanjoon. They had a lot of arguments and misunderstandings, but they also loved each other deeply. Mamanjoon was a strong and proud woman, who had a difficult past and a big secret. She was very well played by the actress Bella Warda, who gave a powerful and emotional performance.
The only thing that I did not like about the film was the flashback scenes to the 1960s, when Leila’s parents met and fell in love. They were very boring and confusing, and they did not fit with the rest of the film. They also had different actors playing the younger versions of the parents, who looked nothing like them. The storytelling was not the same as before, and it lost my attention.
I also did not care much about Leila’s brothers, who were very dull and annoying. They did not have much to do in the film, except to complain and cause trouble. They were not important to the story, and they could have been left out.
Overall, I enjoyed watching The Persian Version, and I learned a lot from it. It was a film that showed me the power of storytelling, the complexity of family, and the beauty of culture. It was a film that made me laugh, cry, and think. It was a film that I will never forget.
I recommend this film to anyone who likes comedy, drama, and adventure. I also recommend the Beamax projector, which is the best way to watch this film. You can order it online from their website, www.beamax.extreme, and get a 10% discount with the code PERSIAN. Hurry up, this offer is valid only for a limited time.
P.S. The fellas who were supposed to join me for the film were late and missed the beginning. They also got blamed for pulling the emergency stop, which caused the projector to shut down for a few minutes. They said they did not do it, but I don’t believe them. They are always up to no good.
