No Sin Mi Hija
Trama
"No Sin Mi Hija" es una película dramática estadounidense de 1991 basada en la historia real de las memorias del mismo nombre de Betty Mahmoody. La película cuenta la historia de una mujer estadounidense llamada Susan Jefferson (interpretada por Sally Field) que se encuentra atrapada en Irán con su marido, Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody (interpretado por Roshan Seth), y su hija pequeña, Mahtob. Susan se había casado con Sayyed mientras trabajaba como enfermera en Indiana, y la pareja se mudó a Teherán, donde Sayyed trabajaba como médico. Inicialmente, Susan estaba encantada de experimentar la cultura iraní y aprender más sobre la familia de su marido. Sin embargo, pronto descubrió que su marido escondía un oscuro secreto: planeaba mantener a su hija en Irán contra su voluntad. A medida que aumentan las tensiones, Susan se preocupa cada vez más por la seguridad y el bienestar de Mahtob. Intenta razonar con Sayyed, pero él se niega a escuchar, citando la ley islámica y las costumbres de su cultura. Desesperada por escapar de la opresiva situación, Susan empieza a planear su propia libertad y la de su hija. Sin revelar demasiado, la película da un giro dramático a medida que se desarrolla el plan de Susan. Con la ayuda de una iraní comprensiva llamada Fatima (interpretada por Shahab Hosseini), Susan debe sortear las complejidades de las estrictas leyes y costumbres de Irán para sacar del país a Mahtob y a ella misma. A lo largo de la película, Sally Field ofrece una poderosa interpretación de Susan, transmitiendo su desesperación, miedo y determinación por escapar. La película también explora temas como las diferencias culturales, la opresión y las complejidades de las relaciones matrimoniales y familiares. "No Sin Mi Hija" es un drama emocionante y emotivo que cuenta una increíble historia real sobre el coraje y la resistencia de una mujer frente a la adversidad.
Reseñas
Saige
She knew this journey might mean never returning home. She knew it might cost her and her daughter their lives. But she still made that decision because her upbringing and education made it impossible for her to live in such a feudal society. As a highly educated woman, if she had to conceal her face just to survive, she would rather die for that freedom. More importantly, she couldn't allow her daughter to be educated and raised in such a country.

Sally Field delivers a stellar performance. While the husband is undeniably a despicable character, it's precisely the excellent acting that makes him so loathsome. According to Wikipedia, this film faced a wave of criticism for being politically incorrect, and Sally Field even received a Razzie Award for her role. However, this movie strongly reminds me of "Blind Mountain," "White Nights," and "The Last King of Scotland." I'm giving it a full five stars!

The most ironic thing is that some Chinese people are defending Iran on Weibo, saying, "Don't believe what you see, come and experience it for yourself. I'm here, and they dress like that for sun and dust protection!" I think to myself, who would risk their life to go there? I hope this never happens in my own country, and we must resist it!
Vincent
A low-key yet deeply unsettling film. Initially, the husband's transformation feels abrupt, and the portrayal of his family borders on demonizing Iran. However, as the story progresses, you realize that things we might find unbelievable could very well be everyday occurrences in another part of the world. Religion, indeed, possesses a frightening power.
Journey
Watching this film today, with the rapid rise of Muslims in Europe, evokes a particularly complex feeling. Recently, I saw a photo on Weibo of several Muslims fleeing to Europe. The men were all young and well-dressed, while an elderly woman, carrying one child and dragging another, appeared exhausted and barefoot. None of the Muslim men around her seemed inclined to offer assistance. An extreme religion that cannot lead to civilization is an enemy of the world.

In *Not Without My Daughter*, the protagonist's struggle to escape her brutal husband in Iran highlights the complexities of freedom and captivity, both physically and mentally. The film beautifully captures the mother's relentless fight to protect her child while also conveying her internal turmoil.
