It is funny that he thinks speaking Persian minimizes the Iranian roles. Speaking Persian is hardly a western narrative, but he seems to be grasping at straws and seems to be fairly imprecise in some of his statements in the interview.


The objection is not to the speaking pf Persian. It's that the filmmakers DID NOT PROVIDE SUBTITLES ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. It dehumanized them to have them speaking, but not sharing with the audience what they were saying, as if their words didn't matter, only how 'threatening' their foreign-ness made them.
