Nicht ohne meine Tochter (1991)
17KNicht ohne meine Tochter: Directed by Brian Gilbert. With Sally Field, Alfred Molina, Sheila Rosenthal, Roshan Seth. An American woman, trapped in Islamic Iran by her brutish husband, must find a way to escape with her daughter as well.
“I saw this movie quite some time ago and enjoyed it. It did not leave me with a negative image of Iranians, Islam or Persia at all. I saw it as a simple story of mother trying to do what was best for her daughter. Not wanting ones daughter to be a second class citizen in my own opinion does not warrant the hostility I have seen portrayed in the previous comments. Sally Fields performance was certainly good. The movie told the story from the wifes/mothers point of view. I found that the movie showed just cause why the husband would become disenchanted with the USA. I can completely understand why he would like to return to his home. After all there is no place like home. My sympathy however with the husband left me when I saw the deception he displayed keeping his American family in Iran. This movie, though flawed was well worth viewing.”
