terrible... so disappointed.

Awesome Movie

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

All the reviews so far already explains how a great movie is "Rang-e khoda". Thus, I want to mention another point. The original title "Rang-e khoda," actually means "The color of God." Modammad (Mohsen Ramezani) saved the bird and put it to its nest and he saw the color of God, Mohammad's grandmother saved the fish and she saw the color of the God. However, Mohammad's father couldn't see the tortoise, so he couldn't see the color of God, and he couldn't save neither the tortoise nor himself.

I had seen Majid's another film, "Children of Heaven", and surely had a deep positive impression through its natural manner in story telling style. It had a touching story too but screened in a rather natural manner.This movie, on the contrary, has a direct symbolic manner which I don't feel comfortable to get its message clearly. Too much symbolism kills the naturalness which eventually lead the movie to a dead end; indeed its final scenes are almost nonsense making me say "so what".I love Iranian movies very much, Iranian cinema has a deserved reputation all over the world, Majidi has a notable part of it. Regardless of the movie itself, I admired the country side where the movie filmed. I would like to have a chance to see those places in a same season of year. For me who is an obsessed admirer of nature, it would be relieving for my should struggling with city life.

one of the best Persian movies I have watched...I have seen a no. of them, but most of them are gloomy and show the harsh picture of life...but this one was really different...it actually showed the a different picture...the innocence...the feelings that the blind boy had... I really liked were that of the boy helping the bird to get to the nest, it showed his determination, not afraid of climbing the tree... but on the same time, showing his loneliness, waiting for his father...and fearing that he might not come... loved it...truly breathtaking... 10/10 to the director, who is also the writer of the movie...beautiful thoughts...

Although I've always known that the film is one of the strongest mediums of art, but I've never been deeply satisfied with any of the films I have ever watched. I've watched Bergman, I've watched Kurosawa. And they are really good. But still, for so long I have been waiting for a film that is truly satisfying to me with its touching sensitivity and deep insight. Finally I have found this film: The Color of Paradise (In fact, the original name is Rang-e-Khoda, The Color of God). A lot of symbols have been used masterfully and with simplicity, the outer has subtly expressed the inner and a profound truth has been depicted so artistically and heartily. The scenarios are very beautiful and the story seems so natural. I am deeply touched. And I am sure, this film will satisfy your heart and head at the same time.
