The Stoning of Soraya M

I have never been so shocked by people's ignorance, or like others call it, believes, like i was when i watched this movie. I respect religions. I respect people's beliefs. I even respect ignorance to a certain point. But the selfishness and hipocresy shown in this film really afect me personally. To get to understand my frustration, I am going to try to quickly narrate the story in my own words,and tell you my opinion about the movie. A French-Iranian journalist who has to stop by a small town in Iran because his car needed to be repaired. He met a woman who desperately tried to approach him with knowledge of his profession. The woman, Zhara, took him to her house and asked him to record her voice. Zhara told him the story of her niece, Soraya. Soraya was married to a man who wanted to divorce her in order to be able to marry a 14 year old girl and get rid of her and their two daughters. They also were parents of two boys, but because of the selfishness and chauvinism of the islamic culture, the man will keep the males. Soraya obviously did not want to divorce him because she would not be able to take care of her daughters without a husband. Long story short, this man in his desperate wish to get rid of her, falsely told the authorities of the town that she was commiting adultery with another man, and she got killed by stoning. And I am leaving out all the disgusting details that he went through in order to reach his goal. Besides the repulsive reality that this movie shows, i really enjoyed it.
