I thought this film was very emotional and sad, even though it tried to present it in a fairly fun way. It didn't succeed in this for two reasons. Firstly, the humour wasn't very good and secondly the society it showed you is so sad and hopeless it's hard to present it in an entertaining way. However it does get it's message across through the black and white landscape and politics of Iran to the colourful and complicated politics of a developed country where a war won't fix things(if you could say they fixed things). Overall it is a mostly un-enjoyable film that hits you with it's message hard...
