The Cow (1969)
8/10
I am also Mesh Hassan cow
17 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The cow, which in its symbolic meaning, has the sex of fertility and fertility and similar words and has a positive charge in the collective unconscious of people, so positive that many people worship it directly and some people worship it indirectly, now it has become pregnant; A double fertility, a burden in a historical fertility, but this time, a vast drought and deadly destruction is ahead. A cow that is supposed to breed evil and madness and ultimately death. Now this mythical cow gives birth to an ominous and mourning; Sudden and unpredictable bereavement. And Mesh Hassan breathes this mourning directly and in its ominous air, he does not go through the stages of mourning one by one and experiences the first, second and third stages (shock - denial - emergence of emotional, psychological and physical symptoms) at the same time. . Mesh Hass feels the immediate blow that his pregnant lover took from him, and he begins to deny himself. It doesn't happen with the absence of a lover. And finally, this denial has no result other than creating a copy of the lover's memory; As it takes a form of role-playing, the self-denied role plays him. Apart from dealing with a risky subject and building a complex character, this film portrays a society that is thought-provoking. The superstitions and illusions of the enemy are one of the thought-provoking points of this film. Meshhasan's cow dies and various views are raised, among them: the work of the Baluris (eternal enemies of this village) is the most prominent. In the event that when the Bluuris came to Meshhasan's house to steal, they missed the absence of cows, which weakens the interpretation: "The work is the work of the Bluuris" and leaves nothing more than the illusion of the enemy. Shadows of illusion and superstition are everywhere in this village, women led by old Between them, with superstitious practices, they start praying, recite verses on the water, and sprinkle sips on the villagers to protect them from the evil of Satan and curses. They appeal to the hands whose power is beyond our world (the hands attached to the tip of the flag), the otherworldly hands that may be able to save this village from the hands of Satan (man's eternal enemy).
