The whole effort of modern man was to get rid of suffering. He, who has been fighting slavery for many years, is a slave to technology in today’s modern world. Today’s humanity has suffered under modernity, for which in Nietzsche’s opinion there is not therapy but art. Of course, this is a superior art that can bring one to perfection, the art that comes from pain. Cinema art, although a product of the same technology, incorporates a variety of arts and it may be the best tools to boost your audience’s morale. Tragedy and drama with the creation of the hero can also be the best example of a cinematic type and all these is provided if the artist himself has the spiritual excellence. . In portraying the superman and the protagonist of the story, war genre cinema is the best way that can create the evolution of the protagonist’s character as in classic storytelling in the language of the picture. The power of war cinema can make the most brutal images in the most poetic terms. But among war genre cinemas around the world, Iranian war cinema, dubbed the Holy Defense Cinema, seems to have taken a different look at this art. When we take a holistic look at the most appalling product of modernity, it may well flourish a film like Immigrant from the immense artistic pain. And it would be very close to Nietzsche’s critique of modernity that is a complex product with which we could capture everything and eventually evolve and say yes to all the suffering that exists.
