Review of The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009) by Lorenzo V — 17 May 2010
"Don't act like the hypocrite, who thinks he can conceal his wiles while loudly quoting the Koran.".
A drama set in 1986 Iran and centered on a man, Sahebjam, whose car breaks down in a remote village and enters into a conversation with Zahra...
REVIEW.
The movie is based on a true story about a woman being stoned to death by her own village. It is a powerful movie with a strong message. The movie is not just about a stoning of an innocent woman, however, but manages to capture some of the worst injustices toward women. Even though the movie is unpleasant it is a very important and necessary movie to see. If she had to withstand it, you can watch it. Women are being stoned to death even in this day because people refuse to open their eyes and feel compassion to those who are without their human rights. Go see this movie, even if it's unpleasant, even if you lose the illusion of a perfect world and a few night's sleep. A problem cannot be fixed if it's not acknowledged.
