25 years ago, Hatami Kia used to line the protesters/ De Namaki did the same thing later
Charso Press: At first glance, the note of Kihan newspaper remains a fictional article, but in reality, the author of this very serious article relates the series, which ended a year ago, to the recent protests in Iran. The more painful thing is probably that some of the country’s officials seriously believe these kinds of notes and try to increase the pressure on the country’s cultural atmosphere.
Before we continue with this discussion, we’d like to play the role of the cosmos a bit and show how easy this style of note-taking is and how easy it is to tag this and that. For this purpose, we go to directors who are known as revolutionary directors in cinema and television.
In 1976, Ebrahim Hatami made a movie called Glass Agency; In a sequence of this movie, Selahshur played by Reza Kianian says to Haj Kazem played by Parviz Parastoui: “Your last decade coach, if you don’t have that gun in your hand, who will listen to you?” This is what makes you strong, you talked for a decade and we were silent, you sang a poem and we were silent, you took and we were silent, then you gave and we were silent, now let us talk.”
Do you think this dialogue was not a message to the protesters this year? Since the same year, he has taught those born in the 80s to tell their elders that their decade has passed and now it is their turn to speak.
Masoud De Namaki has written a dialogue in the Exiles in which he says, “It’s not about the beard, it’s about the roots.” Doesn’t that mean he mocks having a beard and says it’s just for looks?
Or at all, I think that when the normal Naghi settled for an “ah” instead of fighting with his daughters in the Capital series, he made this generation proud and now we are reaping these easy tricks.
Did you see how easy it is to look like the universe? How easy it is to take advantage of any issue.
Some media and political currents want to catch their fish from the recent events. Those who have long sought the removal of Filmo and Nemawa want to use this opportunity to insinuate that these platforms are looking to draw a line with the protesters.
In the credits of the “Jiran” series, Homayoun Shajarian sings: “Cross the alley and go to Briz Street, the moon stolen from the creations” and Mashreq website headlines that: “To Briz Street”! The final offer of the Jiran series to participate in the riots.
These types of arguments are extremely surprising and have only one purpose, and that is to remove movie streaming platforms from competing with radio and television. The radio and television that has lost its audience and its proudest work is the Ten Namaki series, which even made the voices of the TV fans.
During this period, the home television network has been able to bring the audience with them and overcome the competition from TV and radio in the field of serialization.
This shows that if the space for competition is open, TV will have a hard time to regain people’s trust, and maybe that’s why they are trying to eliminate them with notes like this.
