Jon Stewart could have done this same film about Israel, but he chose Iran the enemy of Israel. The brutality in Israel towards the Palestinians far exceeds what happens in Iran. How about a film about Israel's slaughter in Gaza. - @Tuesday, February 6, 2018 4:55 PM

The Sabature

The problem about countries in which their people want real freedom and their way of life to settle is when they start to do that , in very first steps , Americans will be there to start with them, show them the way, teach them some of their experience, and the funny thing that the people almost always believe the Americans. Until they realize that they're there to fuck them up. - @Saturday, September 10, 2016 8:47 PM

Leonard Cohen is not a jewish jewish right? He too survived to his grid? He too got free from his cultural context. I mean Maziar dancing that song is not an ironic gesture, coming from the hollywood jewish elite, is it? - @Tuesday, February 2, 2016 6:58 AM

If some people here actually knew who Jon Stewart is and what is his path to truth and understood that this film is not about US domination in the middle east but a true story about the struggles of a man and the real meaning of freedom then...well then it would be required for all the people to use their brains for good reasons and not rationally,so this is a utopia I am referreing too. I just can't fathom this ridiculous comments and negative feedback.Zionist propaganda? ....come on.............. - @Thursday, August 6, 2015 7:19 PM

Rosewater is a thought provoking film about Canadian/Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari who is detained by Iranian secret services and is subtly interrogated under suspicion that he is a spy. Directed by The Daily Show's , Jon Stewart . This is more about how social networking and modern forms of communication are bigger than dictatorships and how that when the word is spread it , people just can't disappear which would have happened previously. Some great performances from Gael García Bernal and Kim Bodnia make this a really good film. 7 out of 10 - @Sunday, June 28, 2015 11:20 AM

Nothing against the educated people of Iran, but your country is a big fat joke. Unfortunately the joke is on the citizens which makes me so mad. I feel so sorry for people in general if they have to grow up living in countries where the government is dictated to by a handful of clinically insane religious leaders. To all the people saying this is USA propaganda i truly feel sorry for you because you got brainwashed growing up its really sad. - @Thursday, February 19, 2015 4:12 PM

"In Their Hearts They Know They Can't Win"? As my memory serves me correct, Iran crushed the green uprising, murdering and killing people in the streets, had their gangs on dirt bikes beating, shooting and kidnapping protestors, and the uprising was crushed. They also have been able to wage an international terrorism campaign for the last 35 years and are working towards nuclear armament with little penalty. I think Iran knows that it is winning. - @Monday, February 2, 2015 4:27 PM
