The movie World War III by Homan saydi states a law; Anyone with any characteristics in the situation and conditions of any person acts like that person.
World War III comes out of World War II The structure of the film is similar to the structure of the atom, which has a nucleus inside itself, and the most mass is concentrated in the nucleus of the film. In the forest, when the set is being built, the mirrors give the news of the reflection of the world inside the core of the film to the outside, which means that the disaster is going to come out of the core. Shakib turns World War II into World War III in Hitler's cover. In order to prove that he can be the author, Homan Sidi has done the production, directing, writing and editing of the film, and also by choosing the topic of paying homage to authors such as Chaplin, Spielberg, Tarantino, he has shown the theme and color of his film. Sometimes it reminds me of Tarkovsky's film Mirror and There Will Be Blood by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Although I love Iranian movies, I have to admit that I am not impressed. It lasts too long and in every minute you can't see any shiny sparkle. Even though the main actor is good, the story is a bit weak. I know, it is the story of a poor middle-aged man who struggles to survive poverty and who loses hope to live blaming all around, even those who are giving him a chance, but it should be packed in less time. The only thing which can help in seeing the entire film project is its cinematography. After watching it you will have a bitter taste and the thought that you watched someone's misfortune, and in any case you didn't want to watch it.
Why do Iranians make beautiful dramas? World War III is one of the best Iranian movies produced in recent years. The acting was convincing. Premiered a few months ago in Venice's Orizzonti strand, where it won Best Film and Best Actor. The same festival also unveiled "No Bears," from Seyedi's embattled compatriot Jafar Panahi: To say that Iran has a fraught relationship with some of its most revered filmmakers would be putting it extremely lightly. While Seyedi isn't as overtly political here as the likes of Panahi, he's still quite bold: One hopes his film will receive Stateside distribution. Whether censored or celebrated by its government, daring work like this deserves to be seen by the widest audience possible. Don't miss out watching this movie.

Seen this movie today at the Stockholm's film festival and I was amazed by the number of layers in the story.
The film is so absurd, complex and simple at the same time. It's very hard to describe. It's a roller coaster of emotions. Like you watch cartoons, a horror movie, then a drama with pauses to give time for reflection.
Describes the struggle of the characters in an absurd world that is becoming even more absurd mainly because people act erratic. Nobody is safe from madness and everyone is culpable, but the more people sin the harder it is for them to admit mistakes.
Go see this movie if you are a person that is more interested in depth than Hollywood.

Houman Seyyedi has found his own genre. It's as if Houman Seyyedi's signature is at the bottom of the film, even if his name is not in the credits as the director and producer and writer and editor of this film. The brilliant performance of Mohsen Tanabandeh in this film cannot be easily overlooked. The simple story of the film moves slowly, but it reaches the climax and attracts the audience and leaves the audience speechless like the female character of the film. You can see how a character can sink into the role he is playing and how a dictator can devour his actor in this movie. In general, it can be said that this movie is attractive and has a different place among the recent movies of Iranian cinema.
