An embarrassment as a film, as a product of human brain
Mohsen-Qassemi9 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This film surpaases any bad film in it's terrible casting, make-up, diaolgues, editing, historical narration, acting and worst of all, directing by the notorious director of "Golden Collars" Abulqasem Talebi. I am on a train writing this. I was forced to watch this embarrassment. As it is usually the case with intercity buses and trains, the managers are experts in choosing the worst and cheapest films to bore people till death. This film is an obviously propagandist film laden with ideological messages and the director doesn't try to be subtle at all; or if he tries, he is shamefully unsuccessful. The only thing that can be 'tolerated' in this moving collection of a child's mental images is the music. The protagonist is an impotent hero whose attempts to do something heroic only make him more laughable. If it weren't for the violence and mentally disturbing albeit exaggerated content of this 'film', I would easily label this as a children's film. What is sad is that a lot of resources were squandered to promote this film.

Cinema lovers (especially, lovers of Iranian serious cinema), please accept my condolences for this tragedy of a film. I hope the day comes that only competent directors with a really artistic mind are allowed to go behind the camera and receive support from governments.

best show about IRAN'S HISTORY
soltanmohamadif2 February 2022
All I have to say is that during this film I just cried for the people of my country, for the oppression of the hated British government. What the British did to Iran will never be forgotten. Finally, the best film in the history of Iran at the time. World War II starring the best.

This is KARMA !!
jimikianifar17 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
From 1915 to 1919 british government created a famine in iran by buying all their goods by 10 times more expensive than it was so that almost nothing is left when iranian civilians don't know that they ((british) are planing on hijacking their goods in high roads and taking all they have by force ... I do think that this was the first HOLOCAUST ever in history wich had 9 million people killed (more than and before jewish Holocaust by hitler during 1934 to 1945)... But unfortunately for the British any action must and needs to face a reaction , this one was reacted by Karma ...! Well , more than 3 million British died in WW1 & WW2!! So , i mean you cant just run away with your bad actions and should always remember that Mother Karma is a real Beech !! She always seeks Justice... Thanks for reading this...
