last night women television net work showed "NOT WITHOUT MY DAOUGHTER"..this was my second time watching the movie..The first time I watched it I was in high school and I actually did a presentation on how media can manipulate society's mind for the political and economical gain through cultural differences...I remember It was a very emotional presentation for me becuase it was the first time I was talking about Iran in my canadian class and second my teacher was a jewish girl..the fact that she was jewish at first made me uncomfortable since I thought she will give me a low mark because I would say non desirable stuff from Isreal and Us..but to my astonishment she was very open minded about it and we actually started a conversation while doing the presentation!!!!She showed me not to be biast and I am forever greatfull to her...this time that I watched it after 5 years..it actually shaked me...being in Canada for sometime....my perspective and my way of thinking has changed and with this new outlook it really bothered me...this film hits strong with non Iranian since they don't have any cultural background about Iran..but the fact that I know the culture this time it wasn't the anger I felt after and during watching it but it was devistation and realty check...the stuff screened are very exaggrated but still some trueth in it...and that trueth part really bothered me...this time I began thinking that if I really was Betty with American mentality what would I think?and I felt horrible...
