Lakposhtha parvaz mikonand (2004)
Turtles Can Fly
This movie demonstrates that no matter if there is a war going on, children will always continue to live their life to the fullest. This is demonstrated by the jokes that the children played on each other. It is also demonstrated by the fact that the children went out to work and carried out daily activities.
Even Agril was able to continue with a somewhat normal life. While she presented a normalcy, this was only a facade for the inner turmoil that she felt. Even Satellite was able to offer some normalcy to the children while he was always searching for something.... to make his life seem normal, in a time when it was not normal and they were always in constant danger.
Beautiful Boxer (2003)
Beautiful boxer
Beautiful Boxer a coming of age story about a man who wants to be female. In order to earn a living and save enough money, he starts to kick box on a dare at a temple festival. As time goes on, it shows how he is finally accepted by his group of friends who are also boxers. Yes, there were several missteps by his friends, but overall they accepted him for he is, and who they wanted him to be.
It is refreshing to see a third gender represented in another culture, without the shame and stigma attached to it. In this culture we are so obsessed with being perfect and correct that we sometimes alienate ourselves from our friends and families.
