A Separation is a film that is simply about discussing the truth, from the moment a seemingly innocuous event - a divorce - triggers a butterfly effect that causes unpredictable consequences. Director Asghar Farhadi turns the act of throwing someone out a door into a catastrophic decision. The repercussions of this act are reflected on the viewers, subtly implicating them and implying that they are just as guilty of conventional human errors as the characters depicted on screen. A substance of the film is the complexity of human relationships, in which family plays a crucial role in determining people's subsequent actions and reactions. Farhadi's central purpose develops the spirit and personality of each character from within and is not limited to the context of divorce or judicial conflict. Through this film, Farhadi exposes his anguish and disagreement with Iranian politics and the religious principles adopted by the majority of the population. Furthermore, it portrays a fascinating game of mirrors, each of which reflects a series of central issues of modern life, such as the battle between the urban middle class and the suburban working class, the definition of justice, the power of religion and tradition in beings humans, the spread of pragmatic people and the effect of progress in society. Farhadi uses ingenious cinematic techniques in an attempt to touch the audience with a micro situation, to make it recognizable that small circumstances can teach us how to deal with the macro panorama of socio-cultural reality. The plot begins before the title is presented. The first scene concerns the couple, Nader and Simin, about to divorce. The cause is that she wants to take her daughter away from Iran to go... middle of paper... where humans are stuck and blocked. By giving Termeh the authority to decide the repercussions of his parents' divorce and the opportunity to choose his own destiny, Farhadi recognizes that progress is the solution to society's violent and morbid reality. Termeh represents women, who in the past did not have the power of choice, and also represents the new generation, who Farhadi expects, will fight for their freedom. The brilliant mind of director Asghar Farhadi, created a film where a simple plot developed complicated and perplexing results. Subtly and symbolically, it discusses social issues through an extended scenario of grief. There is no happy ending, indeed, there is no ending, because life is an infinite cycle where every decision made by the individual and by society dramatically affects the small and large circumstances of real life.
