It seems that I can not write in Farsi because the platform does not support the Farsi Font. To hell with it. I can show off my English then

Yesterday I've been to a see a film from the Jewish Film Festival in Boston. Its name was " A Secret" or "Un Secret" in the original French language of the film. It was a pretty engaging movie. There being too many movies with super-dramatic stories about the second world war which are usually attempting too hard to impress the audience and make him/her sympathize with the jewish victim (who is usually also a hero of some sort), I couldn't hide my excitement as the movie was not going in the usual direction and the complex relationship of the people in the movie was unraveling. Maybe I should not rush into interpreting this film in any narrow sense (specially because the characters and their relationship were not narrow in any way), however I can not help only saying that this movie was not about heros; It was simply about how the most intimate relationships are distorted in a world which is affected by war, and trust and suspicion are co-living along a very fragile border. The film, in my opinion, was not super-humanizing the characters but sincerely showing the most basic human reactions and the way man is amazingly coping with big realities of life and, at the same time, can not completely get away with that: Memories and history is chasing man no matter how far he pushed it into an invisible corner

The film starts with a boy (Francois) whose abilities and attitudes are not usually approved by his father. His mother is obviously more caring but shows signs of exhaustion at some points. Francois, however, is living in a shadow of an imaginary brother who is doing well and gets his father's respect. As it turned out in the very beginning, although the son is baptized, the family is originally jewish. At a scene in Francois's school, parts of real videos from the Auschwitz and Nazi Germany is played for the class. A kid who sat next to Francois is bored and makes fun of the video scenes and also insults him. Francois gets mad and severely beats him with his fists. This becomes the starting point of unfolding a long history which was carefully hidden and partly even rejected until then. He learns that he is actually the second to the first son of his father with his first bride; a son who had won everyone's heart before he is gone..... Love, Lust, intimacy, war, fear and trust are tightly intorwoven in a beautiful way in this thrilling movie

P.S. : Please don't blame me if I had to say that I am from Turkey to the woman who sat next to me. Sometimes life is going crazy here. The funny thing is she didn't know where Turkey is. I had to mention Iran as a neighbor to give her some sense of it! Ironic! But I had to immediately correct myself that Turkey is located at the border of Asia and Europe to make her suspicious look go away
