@FramingGender I'm interested in discussing the role of silence in the film in class (silence as political tool, as space for spectator participation/interpretation)

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

The man who throws his garbage into his neighbor’s garden, but gets angry when she throws it back--they ultimate agree that they should have talked it out, since they are neighbors and should mutually respect each other. How literal is this symbolism? @FramingGender

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender This phrase made me think about how sayings, foul language, and cussing translates across languages or cultures, and how they might carry different meanings/weight in different languages

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender The cinematography of this film is incredible... contrasted with the b-film action sequence directly following this, it's almost frustrating... but in a good way... sort of

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

Interesting choice by the director to depict anger through surrealism/fantasy during a time when many films that explored similar themes of loss, destruction, oppression were depicting emotions/events in acute realism @FramingGender

@FramingGender I cackled

Amin's cultural imperialism masked as feminism/female liberation @FramingGender

Colonialists condemned Islamic oppression of women while oppressing women back home. In other news, water is wet @FramingGender

Not his veil. Not even his wife. @FramingGender

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender "That is true... you're not my wife... but what will that matter to scandalmongers?"

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender This film really demonstrated how much Kiarostami's docufictions influenced Makhmalbaf

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender When the man asks her to lift her veil to demonstrate that she's 'trustworthy'....

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender How do filmmakers translate the experiences of those so othered, such that an audience can understand/sympathise

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender Once again this week's films made me think about the ethics of documentary, specifically this sort of ethnographic work

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender The way the woman's son speaks to her... He has all the power of the patriarchy on his side 😐😐😐😐😐😐

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender Maybe unnatural isn't the right word... I think it just makes the documentary seem much more performative

[Teak Sittipunt @TeakGenderMEC]

@FramingGender Interesting cinematography In THIB--quick cuts (montages) and sharp pans, it makes the documentary feel very unnatural to me
