People who, years later, each of them suffered strange and interesting destinies.

The multiplicity and variety of opinions in the film clearly reflect the external society of that time in Iran. What still plagues the Iranian society after four decades of the revolution.

Abbas Kiarostami designs a situation in the documentary film "The Case of the First Shape, the Second Shape" that somehow forces the people inside the film to make decisions and the people outside the film to judge with the structure of the film within the film.

There are two categories of people outside the film: the first category is people who must express their opinions and make judgments about the situation inside the film, and the second category is the viewers and audience of the film.

Well, I remember the year when we were discussing the movie The Case of the First Form, the Second Form with the children and Kiarostami had an interesting analysis about the film. He used to say that the movie was worth more after the revolution, like a dollar.

The fundamental changes that happened in Iranian society and the fate of the people who participated in the film changed everything in favor of the film and made it more than a simple educational situation.

In this post, four one-minute clips from the film have been selected, which are not unrelated to today's issues.
