It will not give you a realistic view of Iranians, but a pessimistic one based on Betty's version of the story.
I have also heard her husband's interview who tells the story in a different way, which seems more rational. The film lies. MGM has left a bad record by producing this film.
I generally and sometimes in a different way agree with one of the people who had leaved comments that despite what the film says directly/indirectly:
1) Tehran does not have sheep roaming its streets. Its a sprawling metropolis, with smog clogging up its streets, and it hasn't had sheep since about 1890. Why the hell the filmmakers have chosen a street in rural Occupied Palestine (so called Israel) to film this movie, and use this village to represent Tehran is beyond all reasonable cognition. They wanted people to think Iran is a backward country.
2) Iranian women are stronger and empowered than in many other countries in the world.
3) Why are almost all Iranians in this film brimming with animosity and anger? Iranians are warm, ESPECIALLY to FOREIGNERS!
How come looking at the credits there is not a single Iranian in the main cast? All religious and political divisions of Iranians can be united by the racism and propaganda that this film portrays against them.
