The central theme of Asghar Farhadi’s latest “A Hero” is the question of how to be a hero in the contemporary world, and in particular on social media. The film also wrestles with what it might mean to be a hero in the modern world and what such a status might require. Traditionally, the definition of a hero was more or less clear, and what a hero must do and not do was well-defined. Today, however, the notion of a hero or heroic actions is far less noticeable. The criteria seem far more relative today, with mass society building up its heroes and toppling them as well. A Hero will be released through Amazon studio. prior to its official release, we had a chance to talk with Farhadi; the conversation centres on social media and their contemporary fiction, his literary inspiration for making a film, and his future projects.
