Does it matter to you?Does it matter that Iranian made, or supplied, rockets fall on Israeli towns?
Does it matter that most likely a portion of your ticket dollars will go towards financing Hizballah and Hamas?
Iran today is a fascist state, where things don't "just happen". They happen because they are targeted and allowed to happen. You feel comfortable giving your money to the biggest terrorist supporter? I don't.
Watching that movie has all the elements of watching a German one in 1939. They are very good at propaganda, and they knew a bunch of Hollywood idiots would go nuts over their family drama. Who cares about bomb factories and murdered soldiers when somewhere in the US, some movie lover will go misty-eyed?
There is time in life for everything. Right now it is not time for Iranian films.
