Hitler's Grave

best script in many years for the film Hitler,s Grave best directing best lead actress for taies farzan best film and i loved the music this film has my vote for sleeper of the year 2012 Academy Awards would do courageousness, humanity, boldness, fantasies, optimism, perspectives for future generations of people on earth and much more positivity all the good to take serious notice of this so beautifully orchestrated simple Small movie with the heart of the lions. an absolute delightful polite-drama without big name actors but excellent works by all lead actors in the film daryush shokof,s best movie so far a classic is born 10 from me for all it offered to me until the very last second i was glued to my seat for greatest ending of the film in many years of cinema.

Hitler's Grave surprised me amongst all films in 2012 and touched me as one of the most original films i had ever seen. however, i read many places that Shokof is well known for being an original artist.now i really like to see films from him, and question myself how come i never saw any films by him till now?! is it because he is so original? weird?! strange that so many great filmmakers go unrecognized. anyway, this film should get much attention from all those who do not like racism, restricted religion codes and freedom above all.but that said , it is also the film that all Nazis would hate to ever come across to.racists are doomed to destruction when they have one word to say in the theater.yes, it is really a courageous film from any and many perspectives as well.i also read "since i really wanted to know about this artist, filmmaker" that he was even kidnapped for his works and belief. now, how in the world did he really make such a film?! and now that such a rarity has come to exist, how do the world of cinema goes about ignoring it? i read that it was rejected by all major film festivals until it finally landed the major awards at some festival in Los Angeles? the film is full of great lines.the actors or rather say, the lead actors are all great.the lead actress is overwhelming in her portray of the dazed and confused Iranian Moslem woman who now searches freedom and is up to deliver a promise that is more important to her than her own life. the ending of the picture alone is worth all the every pleasurable minute one sits through this great movie.a down out eye opener in all aspects as i would recommend this film to all and every human being who would really rather see a great film than just spend money and pop corn for films as business as usual watch it and vote for it for the best film of the year in many categories starting with the best original script to the best actress and directing and the film , not to forget the strange music score that adds to the wholesomeness of this very masterfully executed feature film.

j have seen five movies from this master of arts and originality, and was ready to see another unique movie by shokof when i sat to view this powerful film . contradicting all my expectations from shokof movies, this one Hitler's Grave, was all but arty shokof film with his point of construction scenes and telling unique stories out of this world. Hitler's grave is so simply powerful that it convinces the best of movie makers out there to just get a camera (no matter what as long as it shoots pictures), know your kraft, but tell a story which again is nothing like you have seen before. a woman (wonderful Taies Farzan does the job flawlessly) promises her dying brother to fulfill 2 promises at his death bed. the first is to go to Berlin and find Hitler,s grave, and the second keeps the audience hanging in there to the last second. the story is grabbing and told masterfully, the actors are all wonderful.the curiosity of Germany in 2010 and the people answering with strange feeling to the ever tense questioning Atossa (taies farzan) is in itself a movie all great and worthwhile to see. there are many complicated issues handled with pure cinema skills by shokof to keep the film easy for all viewers to watch. it is funny as he always could be, dramatic as one has never before seen in shokof films, and so classically dedicated to keep in line while telling the story that one can simply forget there is ever a giant director telling a story of monumental proportions. the film has it all from jokes, to purest love instincts and sorrow, and joy, and music, and last but not least shoko,s perspectives of setting the shots so one would be able to tell, this is a shokof film most definitely. Hitler,s grave is a movie for all. from intellectuals to the school kids who just now fall in love and have had their ears, and noses full from stinking smell of the world bitter taste of racism (which again is a theme in almost all shkof film), and arrogance of the European societies which separates them from the rest of the world and is their greates handicap to be able to make world wide popular cinema. now for all its reasons this film and the director has done it in Germany and could perhaps show how interesting a film can be even if it is made in Germany.sorry, i mean no harm but to just criticize the bitter reality why most European films and most definitely German films do not connect with the world audience. take a look at shokof,s Hitler,s grave and you will understand why.

shokof means simply to be different.his work could be anything from great to (i would never say bad cause it takes lots of guts to do a small portion of what he has done on his own and in the name of arts)less great but is always a complete step and far away from this world. in Hitler's Grave shokof tries to show how unimportant religions are and how terribly we take all religions as the core principles of living on earth. there is a sentence where the girl and the boy are finally in agreement with doing what they want to do and then the boy asks her : do you think it works? here is the answer which in my opinion is the greatest line in movies in many many years: the fish will not fly and the birds will not swim.nothing will happen. wow, and then they continue on, and truly after the viewer exits the film , one can come to ask oneself the same question, and the answer is simply what the wonderful Taies Farzan gives in the film.just start living free, civilized, artful, and respect one another and no religion can be better than any of that. the film is just extraordinary. the cast are really all great.the story is above the imagination. the directing is on the dot.the music is great and matches wonderfully with the scenes.the editing works, and above all it is a revolution in form of a film much alike Shokof,s famous Seven Servants but much much more tangible.smell of love, success and delight is written all over this marvelous movie. you get a chance to see it , do not lose the chance.its a solid 10

never ever did i see a film by shokof anywhere except in private screenings and i asked myself why not?! i saw his incredible film "seven Servants" which still remains in my head as something out of this world. then i saw Asudem, Breathful, and now Hitler's Grave. why does his movies never get distributed?! it puzzles me. is it that as in the arts we now have filmmakers who would first die, and then get established.?! if so, i find this a horrible mistake in Mr.Shokof,s case.i enjoyed this film as i did all his other movies in which everything is just simply original. this movie leaves you with the feeling that classic concepts still exist but Can also carry daring,brave, and original messages. i was dumb folded by the final scene where we finally find out the real reason the beautiful sister (taies farzan acts almost flawless in the role). the film is again one taboo breaking effort from a master director at his simplest, most powerful form telling a story with all his curious moments ,thoughts and originality. a positive above 10 from me for this wonderful movie made for these specifically sensitive times of our lives on earth.
