    One of the best recent movies made by Iranians

    I usually don't watch the new Iranian movies as some does not have good storyline or has weak direction and plays. Tonight went to see the "Damascus Time" in the cinema and I was surprised to watch an exceptional movie made by Iranian director Ebrahim Hatamikia about two Iranian pilots who help the Syrian people to fly out of the occupied Syrian city by the terrorists. The story and the movie illustrated a realastic view of the terrorists and how they operate. In terms of the visual effects, I cannot say it was the best nor was better than most of the movies, but it was some how realastic enough to help the storyline and illustrate the events and happenings in the movie. What you may watch in this movie might be happening everyday in the war zones and occupied cities in the middle east. I personally hope for the world peace and one day we might look back at these events only as a history not the reality of our world.

    Nice One to watch

    Salam/Hi to everyone whom read my notes here,

    At first it is better to start with Fajr Film Festival and what Hatamikia did, After seeing whole the movie, I cannot find any reason for what Hatamikia said there, This Film is like any other films which are in hollywood. Too many producers make Films like this. And Hatamikia is not different from any other ones, what he tries to show he is different.

    This film is slow at first, and there isnot anything interesting until the middle of movie. there are native feelings which are not easy for other people to understand and why actor did this. It is the weakest point of the movie. I think director must make film for everyone, and unfortunetly director likes to show his dreams are real. This film is drama but if i want to say a genre for this, I say "Fantasy" ¡¡

    After the middle of film, this movie will be interesting, and better. Good acting, nice editing, so i like to say everyone to see this movie, evenif you do not like the director.

    I like to speak about music too, sounds and tracks are not good enough for the film like this. Music can make movies to shine, and here it is normal, did not have anything especial.
