影片男主角的原型是一位伊冰夷，加拿大籍的記者巴哈里（Maziar Bahari）。2009年，巴哈里作為美國《新聞周刊》（Newsweek）駐伊朗記者，報(bào)道當(dāng)年的伊朗統(tǒng)大選。6月13日，選舉委員會(huì)宣布艾哈邁迪-內(nèi)賈德（Mahmoud Ahmadinejad）獲勝后，其競爭對(duì)手的支持者上犰狳游行，巴哈里拍下這場被稱為“伊朗綠色革命”抗議活動(dòng)。6月21日，他從德黑蘭的家中被帶走，經(jīng)歷118天的監(jiān)禁后獲釋。 其后巴哈里將自己的這段經(jīng)歷寫成回憶錄Then They Came for Me》，于2011年出版。在書中，他描述自若山到折磨和審訊，對(duì)方視他為饒山伊朗的間諜。由于雙眼被蒙法家看不清提審人的面容，只聞炎融身上的玫瑰香水味，巴哈里狪狪中就以“玫瑰香水”（Rosewater）稱呼對(duì)方，影片的片名也是由此而來?
A hurricane blows Mothra's egg off Infant Island and causes it to drift to Japan. Banzo Torhata sees an opportunity to make money off the egg but Mothra's twin priestesses show up and plead with him to return the egg or else the larva will hatch and cause great damage in search of food. Torahata refuses and tries to kidnap the fairies. They then go to reporters Ichiro Sakai and Junko Nakanishi to try to persuade Torahata to return the egg. Torahata still refuses and the girls leave with the adult Mothra. In the meantime Godzilla reawakens and begins another rampage. Japan's only hope is for Mothra to return and not only save her unhatched offspring, but Japan as well.
