本片全部由业余演员出演，获2003年戛纳电影节观众票选最佳影片、金摄影奖及年青导演奖，2004年金球奖最佳外语片奖等十余项专业褒奖。 The Taliban are ruling Afghanistan, they being a repressive regime especially for women, who, among other things, are not allowed to work. This situation is especially difficult for one family consisting solely of three women representing three successive generations. All the males in their family have died in various Afghani wars. The mother had been working as a nurse in a hospital, but regardless of she not being allowed to work, the Taliban has cut off funding to the hospital. The mother and grandmother make what they feel is the only decision they can to survive: they will have the preteen daughter masquerade as a boy so that she can get a job to support the family. The daughter, feeling powerless, agrees despite being scared as if the Taliban discover her masquerade, she is certain they will kill her. Partly as a symbolic measure, the daughter plants a lock of her now cut hair in a pot so that her lost femininity can flourish. The only people outside the family who know of the ruse are the milk vendor who employs the daughter - he who was a friend of her deceased father - and a local boy named Espandi who recognizes her despite her outward change in appearance. Espandi renames her Osama. The masquerade becomes more difficult when the Taliban recruit all the local boys to school, which includes military training.

与时代格格不入的国家
那把大锁，让人不寒而栗。身而为女人，苦难何其多。
街道和风土人情很有质感
故事结构清晰，内容有看点，隐喻、讽刺、主题重复都做到了
残酷
太变态了，可能塔利班的人是魔鬼生的不是女人生的，所以残忍对待女性。
无尽的噩梦，无穷的黑暗。
好看
看得心疼，多希望结尾女孩把老畜生从梯子上踹下去！
简直不敢想象那是一种怎样的生活环境。不不不。不能叫生活环境，只能叫生存环境。家里没有一个男人，就寸步难行，生活难以为继。
塔利班判处了一个外国女记者乱石打死的死刑，同时宽恕了奥萨玛因为要将她嫁给那个有着满屋子女人和孩子的老头--可见传宗接代在教义中很重要。她们祈祷愿主送塔利班去地狱；而只会哭和恐惧的女主实在无法在塔利班的阿富汗生存，让人共情的是那个熏香男孩面对奥萨玛被追被抓时的绝望。多年战火之后，像奥萨玛这样死了男人的家庭该如何活下去，是个问题。
怒其不争，哀其不幸
一开始被这种纪实风格和异域街景给吸引住了，后来感到同情。但是看完全片之后感觉情节偏弱，而且稍微用力过猛（用力过猛则显得目的性强），才发现这是美国扶植的政权统治期间拍摄的。在tlb这种变态的统治之下，坚强未必能够避开厄运，更别提女主在电影中始终软弱的性格能够怎么办了（本该同情，但是因为这种软弱却让我感到气馁）。如今，这部电影还在，但是现实生活中tlb又回来执政了，真的无法想象妇女们又要回归电影中的生活。于是，有时候也觉得有个世界警察也并不一定是什么坏事。
最大的感受是。。冷门片的资源巨难找
很好看很喜欢很有趣很精彩
