Review of The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009) by Se7Enth A — 24 Apr 2010
"This is a man's world, Never forget that, boys." a man tells his sons.
The verdict against Soraya M. was carried out in a village called Kupayeh, Iran. Sadly in this modern times, it still occurs in anyplace where sharia is the law of the land. The barbarity of this practice with men chanting"God is Great" while disfiguring, abasing, or killing women, surely God is weeping. In this remarkable movie, a sadistic husband who grows tired of the arranged wife he had spent 22 years beating and finally falsely accuses her of adultery in order to put her out of the way so that he can remarry a younger bride. And under the sharia law, the burden is on the woman to prove her innocence. Soraya's own father casted the first stones.
It is very difficult to watch a film this sad and grisly and it is indeed a disturbing representation of a true story.
