科幻大师雷·布拉德伯雷的经典小说《华氏451》(Fahrenheit 451)将被HBO拍成电视电影，这不是该书第一次拍电影了，这次是一个当代美国的改编版。迈克尔·B·乔丹和迈克尔·珊农主演，故事设定在一个不允许人有自由思想的独裁世界，统治者焚烧一切图书，消防员的工作 也并非灭火，而是焚书。华氏451度就是纸的燃点(当然这个数字只是一个典故)。
乔丹饰男主Montag，一个年轻的消防员，和很多反乌托邦小说的主人公一样，本来麻木愚昧的他经历了“觉醒”，并因此与曾经的导师——消防队队长比蒂(珊农饰)反目。该片由拉敏·巴哈尼(《99个家》《推手推车的男人》)导演，他和阿米尔·纳德瑞一起写剧本。

已拍过三部电影却无缘放映的独立导演秀二（西岛秀俊 饰），长久以来始终坚持拍摄真正艺术电影的目标，他一方面控诉着当下的商业体制，一方面尽自己所能让更多的人了解电影之美。谁知长久以来资助他的哥哥，因向自己所在的黑帮高额举债无力偿还被杀。备受打击的秀二，必须在两周之内还清哥哥的债务。最终，他做出了一个连黑道都分为震惊的决定：那就是以哥哥被打死的厕所为据点，通过挨揍来赚钱还债。黑帮分子的拳打脚踢让他皮开肉绽，而在那一刻影史上一幕幕经典场景盘桓脑海给秀二以短暂的慰籍。平日里，他会参拜黑泽明、沟口健二、小津安二郎的墓地，仿佛从巨匠那里会得到前进的勇气与力量。
就这样，还钱的最后期限慢慢到来……

This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.
This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.
The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.
The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.

Naderi's second film is set in the slums of Tehran. Hanging out in a pool hall, Ali Khoshdast becomes involved in a brawl with three brothers, and accidently kills one of them. He runs for his life, eventually taking refuge in the home of a young woman. The victim's brothers continue the chase, and finally close in on him. Following the murder, streets, alleys and houses that were all part of Ali's everyday world suddenly become dangerous and hostile. Although in many ways a classic tale of revenge, Naderi uses this story to imply that an underlying violence pervades society, ready to burst forth with or without justification.

Set on the sun-drenched southern coast of Iran, from which director Amir Naderi hails, "Harmonica" begins as a young boy receives a musical present from abroad. Fascinated and envious, his friends make him the leader of the pack, as they compete for the privilege of holding the harmonica or even blowing a few notes. No one is more obsessed than Amiroo, gentle and heavy-set, who seems willing to do anything to get close to the harmonica and its owner. Few films have more powerfully depicted the cruelty that is also part of childhood, as games and horseplay take on an increasingly sinister edge.
