Movie Reviews of The Color of Paradise
Movie Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars
After I watched this movie, for a while, I became more enthusiasic for life and this world thanks to Mohammed. I watch parts of this movie over and over again, the part in which he discovers the crops growing in the fields in his village, the part in which he is discovering sand , water and the call of sea birds by a beach and the time, he is happy to come into his village and shouts out to his grandmother over and over again.
This is going to be one of my all time favorite movies. Its a beautiful story, of a beautiful blind boy and his adoring sisters and grandmother.I have bought this dvd for my personal collection and shall be watching it when I need some cheering up.
This is the first movie of Majid Majidi I have seen and I am blown away by his talent. I hope to watch more of his movies now.
Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is in the top ten of best movies I have ever seen. It is not only beautiful in a visual sense but the soul of this movie is also truly beautiful.
This movie touched my heart deeply. It is a story of a young blind boy, Mohammad, who is so sensitive that he experiences more of life than most sighted people ever do. His widowed father loves him yet views Mohammad as a burden and as a hinderance to his marriage prospects. A loving grandmother is Mohammad's teacher and advocate, she intuitively understands and protects her grandson but is undermined by her self-centered son. Her grief is so real it will bring you to tears.
This movie crosses all cultural and religious boundaries in a celebration of the human spirit. There could not be a better time to see this movie than right now.
Movie Review: Cinema at its FINEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a source of relief in an era in which popular cinema is full of meaningless fluff and artsy films tend to focus on bizzare elements of sexuality.The film is in Farsi (with english subtitles), but regardless of the language you understand, this film will speak to your heart. It is a timeless tale of spiritual testing and toil - of a search for meaning and redemption. The film deals a lot with the issue of 'opposites', which is imbedded in Islamic tradition, such as in the poems of Rumi.
In addition, the film represents the spirit of a faith, Islam, that is not represented by the Western media. Rather than watching "Not Without My Daughter" or reading "The Princess", your time will be much better spent checking this film out.
Movie Review: Simple yet powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. Honestly, anything by Majid Majidi is fantastic, but this is my favorite. The main character is a blind boy who rightfully feels unloved by his father. His father has been down on his luck, and feels that the boy is a burden. The movie is really about the father and his journey to find himself and to discover what is most important to him. One thing I love about Mijidi's films is that the children are always the most intelligent and insightful, whereas the adults, especially the men are basically bumbling fools. However, their foolishness arises from a lack of education, rather than deliberate stupidity. With a little education, insight, perseverance, and love problems can be mended in the world of Majidi.Movie Review: a thrilling work of art
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly remarkable film.It also represents the kind of film experience that can serve to enoble its audience.
It has been many years since a film has made me believe myself to be a "better man" for having seen it. This was my initial reaction--in the weeks that having followed this first viewing, the film has never been far from my thoughts.
For those who have not yet experienced this profoundly beautiful work, please do so knowing that there are three or four scenes that will never be forgotten by those who see them.
I envy you the experience of your first viewing.
