The Color of Paradise-360P

The Color of Paradise-480P

"The Color of Paradise" is a story of a struggle, a struggle between a loving son and a father who feels ashamed of what his son is, blind. It was very moving to see an Arabian family struggling with many of the same challenges that face us, especially today. There was a son who was trying to cope with his disability, a father who is ashamed of him, and a grandmother who just wanted her family to be together. Made in Iran, the film is full of Islamic undertones; but many of them affirm the belief that we are all one poeple, not thousands of different sects.

well...i'm 14 now..and i've lived nearly all my life outside iran...but when i visited iran a few years back i went to see this film ..i remember slightly..about the plot...but at that time i was too young to recognize...but know looking back i adore the film...and i think its great....i would like irainian films to capture more countries..and people.!!! keep it up!!

A very shocking film with a wonderful acting of a blind boy, if you are made of stone, you will still be impressed. Be sure to see and tell others to see 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Uplifting story, yet sad at the same time, about a 9 year old boy's Summer vacation with his family in rural Iran, away from his live-in school in Tehran -- the blind school. The images we see at the school as the film opens are of kids who are almost certainly real, not actors. I think this might be a propaganda statement, and it works. Film school classes probably dissect it to pieces, pointing out it brilliantly shows how different people handle a blind child. I would point out he's first a 9 year old boy, and second blind, not the reverse. To me, it's good drama, pure and simple, with glimpses of another culture mixed in.

This is a beautifully filmed tale of a dysfunctional Iranian family who have been through several disasters, a son who was born blind, a mother who has died prematurely, and a father who wants to get rid of the son so he can marry again. Bring extra kleenex and have a light snack afterward, as dinner will be too much to consume after this heavyweight drama.

For me: maybe the best movie that I saw in all my life. A masterpiece... a piece of art.

The acting in this movie was exceptional as was the quality of the production and the directing.. I especially appreciated the fact that the movie was story driven with only basic relgion and no politics injected whatsoever. A very good movie experience.

This is my second Iranian movie I've seen, by the same director and I must say I am really impressed. It's once again proved that not only big budget movies can make impression, but also the small budget ones when it comes to metaphors, the essence of life and simplicity. Feelings, concerns, wisdom, drama and joy, all of these you'll find in this great picture that will mark your "view" forever. The center of attention in here is not only the poor blind boy without a mother, but also the attention he pays attention to the world, to all is living or not. He learns fast and he loves strong, he lives trying to accumulate everything, to find a message in every plant, sound, shape, bird chatters. A great movie that every one of us should see.
