A look at the “Fire and Wind” series/rereading historical records and family origins

Fars News Agency – Radio and TV Group: The TV series “Fire and Bad” directed by Mojtaba Ra’i and produced by Hassan Najarian, was a night series of the 3-Sima channel during the days of Nowruz this year, which continued to be broadcast after the end of the holy month of Ramadan. A series that gradually increased its audience and with storytelling and having a coherent story, it was able to bring constant viewers with it.

The story of “Fire and Bad” tells the story of two Qashqai clans with names that did not exist externally. Also, familiar stereotypes for the audience can be seen in the treatment of the characters of the story, and the mentioned characters correspond to the time of the story.

The summary of this TV series states: “Fire and Wind” is a story in the heart of history that ignites love and anger. This series continues with a great war and at the same time pays attention to the historical ups and downs of Iran in the constitutional era.

In the latest poll of the TV Research Center, the series “Fire and Bad” was ranked second among the most watched Nowruz TV shows with 48.3% viewers and 76.3% satisfaction. Also, this set of statistics has recorded more than 6 million and 300 thousand views on the platform of Telebion.

Mansour Brahimi, the author of “Fire and Wind”, previously said in a conversation with Fars News Agency about this series: “I have emphasized two points both in my teaching and in my writings. The first issue is the storytelling of the work. Iranians have been a nation of storytellers since ancient times, and they have passed on their thousands of years of culture to future generations in the context of these stories. We have the Shahnameh, which is unparalleled in the world. Incidentally, in the culture of the Illyrians, Shahnameh reading has a special place, which is also mentioned in the content and title of “Fire and Wind”. I don’t like the non-fictional and non-linear color of our cinema in recent years. Dramatic works of cinema and television should be storytelling. We have abandoned the film and television productions that take place in the plains, deserts, and deserts and in which villagers and nomads are central, while these spaces and stories that are hidden in the heart of its social and historical relationships are a rich and pristine mine.

Javad Qamati, the actor of this series, also told Fars reporter about his role-playing experience: “Audiences like to read the roots of their identity. One of the reasons for the attraction of most historical works with different topics is this case. This return to the past and dusting of social history is always attractive to people; “Fire and Wind” is no exception to this rule. Especially that part of the story of this collection takes place in the heart of real historical events.

Along with the coherent story and the appropriate rhythm of the “Fire and Wind” television series, which led to its follow-up by the audience, it is important to mention a few points about this series.

Return to traditions

The fabric of the “Fire and Wind” series is tied to the ancient and long-standing traditions of Iranian nomads, traditions that are less noticed by filmmakers. Returning to these traditions and transitioning from apartment serialization is one of the requirements of the dramatic works of our time. The tendency to build apartment complexes occurred in a situation where historical works were gradually replaced by apartment series in the 70s after the experience of enduring historical series in the 60s of television. A trend that has been continued until now, except for a few cases, in television dramas.

* Attention to family origins

In the context of the historical environment, it is important to read the family origins of Iranian clans. However, our traditional origins are based on the shoulders of the family. The role of the hero of this film will ultimately lead to the transformation and progress of the tribe. In other words, a common fate is narrated in this film, and finally, the hero of the story fights to progress and fight colonialism.

* Reading historical files

Rereading the role of tribes and the political events of the country and getting to know what happened to Iran will raise the level of people’s political thoughts and imaginations. In an age where public understanding is being leveled by the virtual space, opening historical files is of great importance.

* British division in Iranian society

The complex role of the West in Iran’s political atmosphere has been given special attention in the Bad and Fire series, and the role of England in this series is especially evident. England’s attempt to divide and rule, England’s attempt to achieve its interests by destroying the Iranian society, and finally the humiliation of the Iranian society by the British were among the main axes of this work.

It is important to note that the British tried to suppress the popular forces and justice-seeking movements for years. It is important to understand that the West is still trying to pressure independent currents with more complex policies to advance its interests, and this issue has been addressed in the Fire and Wind series.
