A reflection on the film the taste of cherry. Special attention should be placed on evaluating representation of Muslim identity constructions within this film. You should wright in a Muslim’s perspective or without specifying any religion on your point view. This is the link of the movie from YouTube with English subtitles

Also you should answer these question with the reflection, Guiding Questions
Compare the three responses to Badii’s proposition to aid him commit suicide. How are these reactions related to the Islamic legal prohibition of taking one’s life? Why would Badii still want to pursue his plan and why does he need a collaborator (someone who is involved in the suicide)?
Do you think that the private and secretive mission to die on Badii’s part has something to do with Iranian Islamic Revolution’s theme of the glory of becoming an Islamic martyr through the defence of the country?
What sense can we make of the ending of the film?
“And do not kill yourselves. Surely, God is Most Merciful to you.” (Quran 4:29)
“And do not throw yourselves in destruction.” (Quran 2:195)
