An Inspiring Journey Through Life's Lessons
mohirad2 May 2024
Jangale Prteghal dives into the intricate web of human emotions and the undeniable impact our actions have on others. This film is a poignant exploration of kindness, accountability, and the power of communication set against the backdrop of life's relentless march forward.

The narrative skillfully intertwines the lives of diverse characters, each grappling with their unique challenges, yet bound by a common thread-their actions reverberate with unforeseen consequences.

Visually, the film is stunning, with cinematography that captures the essence of each moment in North of Iran, whether it's the simplicity of a shared smile or the complex turmoil of reconciled estrangements. The director uses these visuals to reinforce the movie's message: life doesn't pause for our regrets or realizations.

Performance-wise, the cast delivers with profound sincerity and vulnerability, particularly in scenes requiring intense emotional expression. These performances make the characters' journeys relatable and their personal growth genuine.

What sets this film apart is its unflinching honesty in addressing that while we must strive to be kind, we must also face the consequences of our actions. It encourages viewers to engage in open communication, suggesting that this is often the first step toward understanding and empathy.

Different movie

Warning: Spoilers
If you have watched Iranian from 2010s to now you notice most of them contain same story and by watching first 20 min of movie you can guess end of it but this movie isn't like them. Unlike most Iranian movies that ends with wedding of female and male characters it doesn't end like that. If I want to tell the inner of story and meaning of it is that we should get along with things that happened to us and we can't do sth about it like the main character hair problem that gets along with it and goes bald . And the second advice that this film contains is that if you are angry from some place else you shouldn't bring that sence of angriness with in other places. I suggest you to watch this movie once and you will like it.
