CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Betty's (Sally Field) high hopes for the Swiss Embassy to help her and her daughter leave Iran are quickly crushed when she learns of Iranian laws.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this docudrama based on true events, a mid-'80s Michigan housewife finds her life turned upside down when a vacation to Tehran with her Iranian husband turns into virtual imprisonment for her and her young daughter. Betty Mahmoody (Sally Field) is reluctant to visit the wartorn homeland of her doctor husband, Moody (Alfred Molina). But, depressed about the racism of the American medical establishment and pining for contact with his family, Moody convinces her to join him for a two-week jaunt. The Islamic fundamentalism and strange customs of Iran bewilder and frighten Betty and her daughter, Mahtob (Sheila Rosenthal). But nothing prepares her for Moody's announcement that the family will be remaining in Tehran indefinitely. Despite beatings and more pervasive psychological control from her husband and his relatives, Betty makes it to the Swiss embassy (there is no American ambassador at the time). There, she learns that as the wife of an Iranian, she is now automatically considered a citizen and that she has absolutely no parental rights over Mahtob in this country. Betty then endures several years as a virtual prisoner, escaping only with the help of Westernized Iranian friends. Based on the book by the real-life Mahmoody and William Hoffer, Not Without My Daughter was coincidentally released during the long build-up to 1991's Gulf War.

Anyone wanting to be on 90 Day Fiancé should watch this.
Jason in all honesty. Those middle eastern guys who had to be with those American women!? They deserve 10 passports! Have you seen the women on that show?!
Jason Robert yup
@@minzygreen1167 I feel like that show is just a freak show fest I used to watch it for fun but I feel like it just exploits unattractive vulnerable people being taken advantage of. Not cool.
@@squigglyline6488 very true.
That show is completely scripted and people make up problems that they don’t even have in real life. Nobody is in any danger on that show, it’s all pretend.
How foolish we Americans are to think that our government can actually help any of us when we travel abroad. Let this be a lesson to us all
But she should be able to leave that's ridiculous.
@@jasminepearls1047 Yes but if she leaves or divorce the husband, then all her possession will be taken by her abusive husband that including her child cause female has no right in iran
Well then lucky you cause I'm from Iraq and Im sure if some thing happens to me in any country no one will ever even ask about me
Actually, the government can help in many countries. Just not all of them.
dastan Dana Please stay in Iraq. And stay out of the United States
I love how they have her just portray that face of disgust of how the culture is treating women and children.
Problem with neutrality is that it is hard to reveal your feelings.
You are the first one who isn't giving the religion the fault but the culture
The culture is influenced by the religion too
@@dallasyap3064 the difference between Islam and Christianity is in Islam you're a slave of God in Christianity you're a child of God. Much better religion. I'd rather be Christain any day
@@squigglyline6488 yes true. I am a Christian. I live in Malaysia, although not so strict on Islam as other islamic countries, but those muslims don't have a choice either. Once u are born into a muslim family, automatically u are a muslim. And from islam, u can't change to other religions. If u try to or manage to do so, the those government islamic association, they are gonna send guys to interrogate u. So yeah I agree what u said, in islam, u are a slave of allah, in Christianity, u are a child of God.
This is a true story. The western world are so naive. I hope they watch this movie and learn.
Wtf your an idiot!!
Lena knowledge seeker your the idiot, when Americans leave America you leave your rights behind. Educate yourself
@@rachelsunqvist6430 well... That bombing people who literally didn't attaxk you would lead to people bombing Paris and chaos...
You are naive to think the Western world doesn't know.

My mom was about to marry an Iranian when I was a child and a friend showed her this movie. She ended the relationship
Only thing I could say is Your mum made a right decision...a decision u guys should always be grateful to..stay blessed 🥰
@@kumarabhishek1244 She sure did! Thank you! Bless you!
Talk about prejudice and close minded. As long as she didn’t go to Iran this couldn’t happen.
She made the right decision
I don't think it was right for your mom to end the relationship. not EVERY Iranian is like this. this goes for every strict country & their people. everyones different
The lack of empathy from that stone-faced official is just chilling.
There was nothing she could do. She actually did try to give Betty the most honest help and advice possible.
I’m not a huge fan of serious movies (mean girls and bridesmaids are my 2 favourites, to give you some insight) but I must say Sally Field was incredible in this film! I can’t believe it was panned by critics.
That’s sad. It’s a great movie. I think the critics panned it bc it was an unpopular truth
Most of the critics are wokes what do u expect
The film was probably panned by critics because of the stereotype Fundamentalist Muslims get in America of being Alpha-misogynists. The film never said every Muslim man is a wife beater. This is just Betty’s personal story. Although I wouldn’t go to one of those Middle Eastern countries if you paid me and it’s 2023.
As a swedish citizen I was forced to live in Egypt by my parents when I was little and I hated the life there. And I don't think the swedish embassy could help me either. I think they would say "You are not 18 yet and your parents deside".
What was egypt like?
Some places there were pretty and lovely. And some places were dirthy and bad. The school was horrible. The country was hot and poor.
+Severus Jake när kom du tillbaka till sverige?
@@garyodonovan8305 , Ireland, your last name, your surname gave that away. I heard that there are lots of sheep in Ireland. And, corned beef and cabbage is popular there. I'd love to go there sometime.
@@Riddarjakob , what language is that? Swedish? Is Sweden where you get the smorgasbord? Or was that Denmark?
Makes me not want to go visit my husbands family in Saudi
Kaylee Almerzooq women have no rights there either BUT there is a US Embassy over there which is a huge difference. There’s no US Embassy in Iran so the United States has no power to help any AMERICAN there. But in Saudi Arabia, the US Embassy there would protect you. I would contact the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia about visiting. They should give you all the info you need. And, if and when you do visit, let the US Embassy know the dates of your stay in the country and where you’ll be staying. And they’ll keep track of you. Also, you should know where the US Embassy and all US Consulate buildings in Saudi Arabia are located. If anything happens, and it shouldn’t, but if anything did, you just need to get to the US Embassy. Once inside the US Embassy, past the gates, you’re officially on American soil (by local law) and the Saudi govt can’t touch you.
You should be fine. But talk to the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia. That’s what they’re there for. If there was a US Embassy in Iran, the character in this movie would have been safe once she was on US Embassy property. But there wasn’t. Hence the two hour movie
Rule of thumb: never travel to a country where there is no US Embassy. If there is no US Embassy, it’s because it is not safe and they have no authority to protect any Americans there. Most countries have a US Embassy unless it’s a country like Iran or North Korea
Saudi
Saudi Arabia crazy hell Nah
Kaylee Almerzooq don’t go & niter your kids
Kaylee Almerzooq AL Merzooq are a big Arab family in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 they have their “”own”” roles
This is actually still true. People need to know these laws before going there. Usually western ministries of foreign affairs warn on their website that western women should not travel to Iran when they are married to iranian men.
Iranian man go to usa for live a better life in usa and they not religion they don't like back to iran this is a not make sense movie
@@AI2O22he got fired and unemployed. That's why
This was the 80s.
That animal held her and their daughter hostage in his home country and took away all of her personal items.
Did you read the book? I was balling out my eyes mate after reading it
Omg right? Horrible person!
If u are a woman going to a Middle Eastern country, that's already a problem. Secondly, going to the country that has no embassy or consulate of your own country is another problem.
@@dallasyap3064 Betty and her daughter, Mahtob needed our nation's protection. Moody is violent and has held Betty and Mahtob hostage in his home country away from anyone who can help them.
@@dallasyap3064 yep and in those countries our country and government has no jurisdiction over the people. My aunt is married to a man from Afghanistan and he wanted her to come over there but if she did she'd lose her citizenship she said forget it! So glad she had the good sense to do that. They have two kids.
This was one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen!
Try watching "The stoning of Soraya M." It is very difficult to be watched, but it was worth it.
This scene is keeping me up at night, lately. If we’re not actively against it, we’re allowing it to creep up. Be respectful to women and all people. Don’t let the corrupt people have their way, just because they happen to be more organized.
Don't let Islam creep in the name of peace and love they are all MCP
Every women in the west needs to watch this movie once a year every year!
everyone needs to watch without my daughter the documentary that tells the truth
Stop being so insular, this is a MOVIE not real life.
This is a true story lol...
+Apricot Theory Why would they say it's untrue? I have met many Shia Iranian Muslims,and they consider the movie to be true.
@@YRS51 Art imitates life. This was a true story.
Poor Nicola is dreadful 😩
“May I ask you wwhhyyy you came to Iran”? 😳
I was searching for this comment.
@@christinalomeli3171 Same. Such a terrible, robotic actor. :)
All these ppl on 90 day fiance the other way need to watch this
At the end of it all, she does leave and he is killed. That is the unaltered version and it has a brilliant ending. I have helped more than several women in this situation and it is terribly concerning that they truly feel that there is no way out. My advise, simply pull the trigger and never look back.
Well this puts a smile on my face
Angela Altintas are u a diplomat? Since u said u have helped women in situations like this.
He wasn't killed. They showed a documentary about ten years ago where he tried to contact his daughter and she still wanted nothing to do with him - wouldn't respond to his calls. He did pass away though a few years later without ever having contacted his daughter.
They should make a sequel with Alfred Molina covering Moody’s life after they leave and show what a pathetic, empty shell he becomes
@@averythecoolcat The documentary was silly but it was nothing compared to the book he released. For everything he complained about in the book "Not Without My Daughter," he was guilty of such treatment in spades in his book "Lost Without My Daughter."
Here's how much of a piece of garbage this man was: He sent his nephew, unbeknownst to Betty, to sell their house and cars in the States and move all the proceeds into a Swiss bank account. By the time Betty and Mahtob made it home, they were homeless and penniless. So, whenever one of these critics talks about why it is Betty signed book and movie deals to cash in, that's part of it. The rest if it was to publicize the plight of so many women who are trapped themselves or whose children are trapped in these fundamentalist countries.
Hope this scene and the whole movie opens the eyes of people especially girls from other cultures and other religions marry a Muslim.
Love is never enough when you marry!
because as my grandma said you don't just marry them you marry their entire family
Very wise grandma!
@@evaschroeder8663 most powerful qouit
Just think how the original bety is brave
Hats of just hats of
You could flee of that country because of your bravery
The feel the woman did wanted to help Betty, but she can’t do anything because of the Iranian law. It stated a wife must submit to her husband, and he has the sole say in the relationship. Backwards thinking
Actually she could have done something. This is an embassy, and embassies are under international law not the laws of the host country. So basically this woman could have provided Swiss diplomatic immunity or provide diplomatic escorts for them to get out of the country safely. There is nothing the Iranians can do to stop them, cuz its under international law. Unless the iranian government is willing the expel the entire Swiss delegation out of the country over such a small thing.
@@dallasyap3064 yeah, I agreee it looked like she had no interest in helping her out
@@kyjjyxkyjjyx8843 yeah and actually I also wanna make some correction to my earlier comment, the Swiss government can't provide Betty or her daughter diplomatic immunity, cuz it's provided by the host country to the foreign delegation. But the Swiss government can provide asylum to them which can still help them get out of the country, not diplomatic immunity.
@@dallasyap3064 No she cannot, asylum has to be in compliance with the International convention of refugees, i.e., for SPECIFIC reasons like political persecution. This is a domestic matter -- Betty did not like her husband or his values and he beats her-- that is family law and therefore under Iranian jurisdiction, especially since she is [automatically] an Iranian citizen. Therefore the embassy had no rights to give her asylum, as it is a domestic family law matter. Although her story is painful it is a family law matter under local laws, or all battered wives worldwide can be deemed refugees entitled to resettlement in the west.
@@stumanogajo5743 I see your point. I'll learn more on the international law about refugees. But I would like to point out that she's also an American citizen held against her will. If I am not mistaken, the US government is lawfully required to respond to such situation when an American citizen is held against his/her will, particularly the FBI. But since being Iran where the US government has no official ties, the FBI would have to work with other agencies to conduct their rescue mission as well.
This lady’s Israeli accent made my ears smile. Stunning scene: Betty walked in with her beautiful baby, certain they were safe. Well, we know it ends well. The book’s good. But she spelled the word “manteau” as “montoe.”Manteau is French for long cloak, it’s a borrow-word Persians sometimes say for “chador.” Book was co-written by same man who co-wrote Midnight Express, both are “page-turners.” I hope Americans who saw this movie don’t think all/most Persians are like this. My experiences with young, old, singles and families of Persians are beautiful. Quite formal and polite, but generous, kind and so warm. I love them. Very good to me ❤️
Similar to my experience. I have known quite a few Iranians here in California, both Muslim and Jewish. They have been some of the warmest, kindest, most hospitable people I have ever known.
If you meet an Iranian outside of Iran, chances are their family fled Iran after the Revolution in 1979. The vast majority hate what their once beautiful country has become.
Stoning of Soraya was also a heart❤felt movie. It is a true story. Some countries are so male chauvinistic.
No one:
Her: WhY dId YoU CoMe To Ichrân?
It’s a legit question
It was a good question. What she meant: have you lost your mind?
I would’ve never went over there never
The Swiss actress resembles the real woman whom this story is based on.
"You have no rights to the children." Yeah, well what about Mahtob's right to grow up in a loving home? I bet the Iranian government doesn't even think about that.
Look up the Quran that's what muslim-dominated political states' law are based on.
Yup, they don't think about that. They still think like those old times, where only men has the power and women are the one being oppressed and powerless. The iranian government enforces strict sharia law.
I highly doubt that the iranian government cares about its people's love or growing or living in a loving home.
In their head if the home doesn't follow Shiria Law the child isnt getting love at all
I ones was married with iranian I lived in that country i was very happy, people need to see with their own eyes that country is magical ❤
Are you divorced now?
I would never travel to this sad place.
Neither would i..Women have no rights and are submitted ,just the right to wear the veil and shut up..
This was someone's real story. And one of I think almost anyone's worst nightmares
Definitely a horror movie
Those wondering why the Swiss woman was so unhelpful and she could at least have given betty asylum in Switzerland, the answer is no she cannot. Asylum has to be in compliance with the International convention of refugees, i.e., for SPECIFIC reason like political persecution. This is a domestic matter -- Betty did not like her husband or his values and he beats her-- that is family law and therefore under Iranian jurisdiction, especially since she is [automatically] an Iranian citizen. Therefore the embassy had no rights to give her asylum, as it is a domestic family law matter. Although her story is painful it is a family law matter (and also criminal law in some countries), subject to local laws, or all battered wives worldwide can be deemed refugees entitled to resettlement in the west.
Thank you for the explanation
😢yeah that's unfortunate when the lady asked Betty why she even came to Iran in first place you can see how even she understand it was all her fault in first place she was too naive to belive her husband blindly she should have scheduled her return ticket or shouldn't gone to Iran in first place .
Actually she was politically persecuted by her husband and his family's
@@Moonwatery She was persecuted yes, but NOT politically persecuted. His actions fell under Iranian family and domestic law and since she is [automatically] an Iranian citizen, so she was SOL and she knew it. So she did what she did, to escape!
"Being held hostage". GOT IT
The amount of comments from US citizens saying that all iranian or muslim men are like the villain depicted in this movie is.... actually not that surprising. Seriously people, get off your pedestal. Are there no abusers or criminals in your country? Are these abusers and criminals the norm for all men in your country? Grow up.

That won't ever happen due to political correctness. It's sickening.

Swiss woman is not a liar.
I AGREE TOTALLY.
I believe that Swiss woman can get them out.
I never quite understood this part of the story. Betty went to the US section of the Swiss embassy. I thought, once you’ve entered the grounds of an embassy, you are no longer considered to be, for this example, in Iran. I wonder if the Swiss consulate must of had provisions placed on them to keep operating in Iran. At the end of the movie, Betty and her daughter went to the US embassy in Turkey and said the words, “We’re home”. Why wasn’t this applicable to the US section of the Swiss embassy in Iran? I would appreciate, if someone knows the answer to this situation.
The Swiss Embassy has an American section because there is no American embassy. This is done in several cases, where one country will step in to some extent for the citizens of another, which does not have formal diplomatic ties. You could say that while they are in this embassy, they are in Switzerland, but since there are not Swiss, they cannot claim the rights of a Swiss citizen. I don't know the whole story or whether there wasn't more that the embassy might have done for them, but ultimately it wasn't technically their responsibility.
Snuggles McSquishbottom Thank you for your reply, much appreciated.
@@madalene7724 sure no prob! 😎
Name of the movie pliz
Bcoz the Swiss embassy belongs to the Swiss not America. It only has a section to serve American interest when necessary. However this woman could have done something to help her. She could have provide diplomatic immunity or diplomatic protection to escort them out of the country safely.
This was a great movie

this is the stupidest rule ever the law needs to be changed
I had an Indian coworker of my mother's age, she was married to a white man and had four daughters of my age. She was an educated, dedicated, independent, woman with strong personality. He elder daughter married to a chinese man, second married to Iranian. For rest two daughters she used to tell that, "I am getting old now, let me die peacefully, a guy you will date and marry has to be a white or chinese". That one sentence said a lot.
I know plenty of white women married to Pakistani men and Turkish men
Are you kidding?
White people have the highest divorce rates
They're more Indian men with white women in every white country than vice versa
Also Indians are generally hindus too
@@pinkneanderthal4456 Divorce is not something tied to race or genetics. Most places with low divorces have other cultural reasons. Mainly religious, etc. for example, in this movie many Iranian women have nothing to gain from divorces especially since the children always go to the husbands only. if there are restrictions like that, then sure the divorce rates would go down among white countries and people as well 🤷♀️
@@pinkneanderthal4456Not sure where you from but you don’t see whtte women married to Pakistani or Turkish men or even Indian men. What does that happen? 😂

I am an Iranian woman and I can understand her feelings very well. Nobody can help you when you are married with an Iranian man.
Was she on weeds when she decided to marry a Muslim?
Probably
Oh your are a prejudice Westerner.
He was a doctor, she was a typical hypergamous American woman who just married for money.
She was helped by muslims unfortunately she endedup with the wrong one but his family had alot to do with it too. Don't judge them all. I know loads of muslims and they are lovely people. There's good and bad everywhere.
@@dynahvelvixin.8615Those good Muslims are rare
Dang that sucks
As a westerner this movie contributed to how I view Arabic and/or muslim men. I am ashamed that I've allowed this to shape my perception for these men. Recently I met with a group that were more loving, supportive and welcoming than my own blood relatives. I say this to say, yes, be aware of who you interact with, ask ALOT of questions especially if you're not legally tied to them and make your conclusions then.Don't group everyone who looks a certain way into one box. Everyone's lifestyle and beliefs are different.
I agree
Finally a sensible comment. Thank you
True, true. This movie is based on a true story though. She wrote a book about what happened to her. You must just be careful. Some of them can be nice, true, but some of them not so much.
@@mariemunzar6474 I'm pretty sure that's all religions and cultures though.
@@mariemunzar6474 I think it was his personality combined with the culture and religion
Duuh so 😢😭
Does anyone remember how Betty’s mom got a hold about the Swiss Embassy? I’m sure she believed that the Embassy would get Betty and Mahtob out, but this scene revealed how disappointing it became.
I think in the book the embassy lady allowed her to call home. Betty told her parents what had happened, and also got the embassy to deny any transfer of Betty and Moody's American assets to Iran.
In the book, Betty's parents did everything they could from home, which wasn't much. They got the address of the Swiss embassy, called Betty and managed to tell her. Betty was able to call her family and send letters from the embassy.
Yes the lady allowed her to call her mother back home but it had to be on the down low. But I also feel as well the lawyer helped her.
What a nightmare end in a country and they look at you when you complain what s the problem this is normal . Thank god its not anymore like this .

This is true even to this day.
FBI (Agent Vega) confirmed to me that even in the US there were a lot of women being held hostages in their own homes, the children were controlled by the husbands and husbands families. That I was one of the “lucky” ones.
It also looks like that lady she can't leave iran herself
I wonder how the coronavirus pandemic has affected Iranian laws.
There aren’t enough vaccines and the government is refusing to use any western vaccines so it’s pretty bad there.
How the Swedish government turned her back over to her husband sums up the country.
Switzerland is not Sweden. And there are no cangaroos in Austria.
At times we all wonder, is Islam a sub division of humans or a main division from humans. How come they still look like humans??
May I ask why you came to Iran? No the question she should ask is: Are you married American way or Iranian way? If Betty is married to the guy only American way then it is nonsense to say she needs his permission to leave! If she is married to him Iranian way then she can get a marriage portion and a share of his property in Iran and divorce. Then she can leaave. Guess what she can do to him then!
yes but she would lose custody of the child.
Gavin H Not if she proves the visa has been for short time. The custody of the child is according to the origin country up to 6 months
according to international law and conventions. I think the woman has had an affair in Iran.
@@direstraits6497 Her husband didn't feel obligated to obey Iranian law when it displeased him. Violating a visa wouldn't be much to him. Perhaps you should read the book. Moody was a man who was abusive and made a lot of very poor choices in his life, and it came back to haunt him.
But she cant get her daughter. That's the point. Above all else.
If you ,marry an Iranian man you are automatically Iranian! How do we do so many things automatically that part of the world? I do believe he has made poor choices in his life but I also know the story is rubbish. I happen to talk to Mahtabs teacher in Iran and she said she only heard about the the story when movie came out,

Such a stupid and untrue conversation. The US-Interest Section in the Swiss embassy in Teheran MUST take care of all US-citizens in Iran. This is one of their main tasks over there.
@ An US- citizen does not need to ask for asylum for his or her own country. The domestic iranian law is not valid within any foregin embassy in Teheran. In the recent years swiss embassy has helped couple of US-citizens to get out of the country.....rezaiean was of of them....
@ Rezaiean, Saberi, Hekmati, Esfandiari etc. In these cases the revolutionay guard in Iran made a deal with State department. The swiss embassy helped to contact the ministry of foregin affairs in Iran and transfer the people to the airport etc. I'm sorry, I can't explain you more details on this. I hope you understand me.

I think Muslim culture is beautiful. I think Iranian culture is beautiful. I think a lot of countries have beauty. All I’m saying is I am proud to be an American because with all of the crap we have here, but one thing I have is the freedom to do what I want and be who I want. Yes there are certain discriminations from individual groups sometimes but when I think of the bigger picture I can practice the religion I want, I can wear the clothes I want. For that alone, I am thankful and grateful
Nicole seems so unhelpful and cold.
If I am the Swiss woman, I would have definitely help them by getting them out of the country.

How come this swiss isn't covering hear head ?????
She's at the swiss embassy, which is Swiss territory. Maybe when she goes outside she covers herself, who knows

this movie is based on mahmoudy family which probably you can find worse than that in america
it is like going to one of those polygamy villages in america , make a movie and say this is america
thank god we have internet and you tube these days
Because she is in the Swiss embassy, later in the movie she went to school with Betty and she gone with the Hijab
+Gary O'Donovan Iran is not an Arab country. Lol.
Is this still true and if so are you automatically no longer a United States citizen even if you’re still in America.
What they leave out is that her status is relative to whom you ask.
According to American law, Betty and Moody were recognized as having both American and Iranian citizenship.
According to Iranian law, as soon as Betty married an Iranian citizen, she also became an Iranian citizen. They no longer recognized her as being an American citizen.
Does that make sense?
My husband is iranian but I didn't get iranian citizenship.
@A Little Sleepy Maybe. When we came to get his documents, they asked us if I also want to apply for Iranian citizenship to which I said no.
@MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN obviously! They have a nice marriage.
@MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN Yes, our marriage is happy, but my husband is not a Muslim, unlike the husband in the movie.
@@Nekrochomikon8 thank God u didn't have a husband like him. But if he ever ask u to travel with him to Iran or any middle east countries, say no. U don't want to meet the same fate as Betty.
Its very difficult to marry muslim
Then don't. What makes you think they want you?
, when they ask to marry you. But unfortunately animals wouldn't have a look in, very cruel , torturous lying evil man that buck.
The women from the Swiss Embassy has an Armenian name. Interesting!
kurgan highlander will you please explain more? Thank you.
That's "Swiss", honey, not "Swedish"....
Don‘t you know the difference between „Swiss“ and „Swedish“? jeeeeeesh
I read the book which goes into quite a bit more detail. The Swiss embassy official was named Helen and she was of Armenian heritage.
@@michelleprieur1 Thank you!
To all the people : Gabriela Arias Uriburu...same history
"FEMINISM" 👊🤜should be required in that country!!..
There are feminists in that country....and it is a hard fight.
Unfortunately they enforced strict sharia law. Under sharia law, women has no rights or anything. They don't obey husbands, they will get punished.

Psych! Sorry can't help u. :facepalm:
All liberals need to watch this.
I watched this movie back in Iran around 21 years ago when the real father was there inside Cinema watching this movie with students in the university and telling them the lies and errors that are in each scene. From what I can still remember he was kind and longing to see his daughter again. Well, that's Hollywood job to direct people's minds and perceptions to what they want. We saw this trend before in movies like 300 or Argo in which they wrote history and politics again.
I just saw the footage of him showing the movie to the Iranian University students from a documentary he made. Everyone laughed at it the violent scenes 😬
Bescheuerte Männergesellschaft!🤦🙆
Why are women treated so badly in such countries?
A pirate walks into a bar wearing a turban made out of paper towels.
Bartender: What the hell?
Pirate: Arrr, there is a Bounty on me head.
“Boss, I’m not coming in today. I woke up this morning and found that I grew a thick beard and have a turban on.”
Boss: What?
Man: Yes, I’m calling in Sikh.
the official is a traitor..
No. She goes by the book and she could not help Betty even if she wanted to. Embassy officer cannot break the law of the station country.
Ridiculous. She has to abide by that country's laws.
She’s not, her hands were tied. There was nothing she could do.
Actually that Swiss woman could have arranged something for them. Like provide them Swiss diplomatic immunity or diplomatic protection to escort them out of the country safely. The iranian authorities can't do anything bcoz whatever she does, its all under international law.
@@BoraBoraSharkBoy isn't the Swiss embassy considered Swiss soil not Iranian soil and so not subject to laws ?
This is what happens when you marry a Muslim ..
Shut up
MIS315 the truth hurts you !!!!
At least refuse to go inside the belly of the beast of your own accord: political correctness cannot save you
YES. BUT......MUSLINS ARE BLONDD BLIND. THEY MUST BELIEVE IN A SAVIOR TO GO TO PARADIDE. ONLY KR JESIS SON OF ALLAH CAN TAKE US paladin

I am Iranian. The events in this movie are not real. We do not know what to swear a lie And men treat their wives fairly, and women have the right to choose
Yes of course!!and the sun turns around the earth🤣🤣
Don't make me laugh
Dont`t forget this movie was set in post-revolutionary Iran. The situation in Iran was different than today.
@@mauragarofalo8884 ha ha ha
You dont now what are you talking about
@@romainreuter9604 Yes, the Iranian Revolution has had a lot of hardships for its people, but the opinions of this film about the Iranian people are false, but the story is true.

Sally Field was nominated for Worst Actress in this.
goodguynow It was all to do with the dislike of the film because many were angry that it was so biased and unfair towards Iranian culture and the way the people were portrayed. It was based on a true story though and they were just telling how it was. She did not deserve worst actress. She was fantastic in that movie
@@susanann7748 It was not "biased and unfair". If anything, it did not show the evil of Islam and Islamic beliefs enough.
Should be best actress award.
This movie is EXTREMELY exagerated! Don't believe it please...
Ok first of all this abusive wya of life isn’t real Islam. Back in pre-Islamic Saudia Arabia people used to bury there daughter for Gods sake. Islam brought great change for women in fact they finally had rights to own land and work
Liar.
Russell Anderson you just hate the truth
Islam is from Saudia. It's their sick culture
ririmoiriri yes it is but notice how I said pre-Islamic Arabia. Arabia during the time of Muhhamad (PBUH) was great unlike the time it is now.
ririmoiriri also Islam was founded 1400 years ago Saudia Arabia was founded 1932 there completely different.
