“Hotel” is a movie with a simple story that makes the audience laugh!

Fars News Agency – Cinema Group: Comedy cinema in the field of movies and TV series always attracts people’s attention and is considered one of the most popular and popular genres of our society, so that always at the end of every year, looking at the best-selling movies and the most popular series, there are definitely some comedy works in The list appears.

It is a proven principle that artists should know the society they live in and what people need to improve their morale and what cultural food they want, but it is important to create something that does not degrade their taste. In the comedy cinema of these years, the method of making people laugh at the cost of losing moral boundaries and sharia restrictions has become a matter of course, while people in the movie theater laugh much more when they see healthy and funny jokes than when they see erotic jokes. In fact, an experienced filmmaker can use the capacities of a good story to create healthy jokes and at the same time not offend the audience.

Ebrahim Amiryan, a cinema producer, believes: “Jokes and satires in comedies should be in such a way that the members of a family can safely gather together and watch the movie in the cinema or on TV.” Unfortunately, in some cases, we see that the jokes have gone to the point where family members can no longer safely gather together and watch movies. There should be a safe space and some kind of common sense to watch comedy movies in families.”

In these years, many directors who had a history of making social and serious works in their careers have turned to making comedy films. In the last decade, Masoud Atyabi has been a constant in all the best-selling films of Iranian comedy cinema, from “Texas” and “Texas 2” to “Infradi”, “Dynamite” and “Bucharest” and this last “Hotel” which has been released for a month.

With even a cursory review of these films, it can be seen that Atyabi has found the audience’s dream vein and in his latest work, he tried to present a healthy comedy to the audience. A healthy comedy away from clichéd formulas such as stupidity and exaggeration of the characters and wholes between the characters and mocking and insulting each other to the confrontation between the rich and the poor and mocking the religious class to put a smile on the audience’s face. But in his latest work, “Hotel”, Atyabi has gone to two families and has placed two men of these families as his main characters. The filmmaker constantly pits Ramin (Pejman Jamshidi) and Masoud (Mohsen Kiaei) against several women; Men who are in different situations that are all based on accident are forced to do different things to save their married life and make the audience laugh like this.

Atyabi, who overcomes the stagnation of sales with his films, says: “When people laugh together in cinema halls and families enjoy being together, don’t doubt that its impact will be seen in society. You can’t ignore the good sales of the movie because it creates dynamics in different parts of the cinema, but more than that, people’s laughter together is important. “The people of Iran deserve the best cinema equipment, and this happens when the economic cycle of cinema is moving.”

A simple script with an acceptable execution

The structure and body of the film follows a specific formula, but the script is thin. This thinness of the script does not mean that it lacks a story, but that it lacks mortar. Rather than creating a story and turning its situations into stories, the screenplay has tried to avoid the difficulties of narration and storytelling by creating comic situations and of course using the capabilities of its two main actors, especially Pejman Jamshidi (in the face of other characters). and narrate a simple and straightforward story and attract the audience’s satisfaction; Because Atyabi clarifies the task of the audience with the film from the very beginning; The audience knows that they are not going to see a complicated film with a solid story, so as soon as the story moves forward, the film maintains its rhythm, the performance is cleaner and the actors meet the audience’s expectations, which is convincing for a film like ” It is considered a hotel.

With the help of Pejman Jamshidi’s salty and lovely acting, “Hotel” turns into a clean movie in the performance despite such a script. At a time when filmmakers have increasingly turned to filming in neighboring countries such as Thailand and Malaysia, in order to take advantage of the tourist attractions and the formula of naked women, Atyabi took his story to the beautiful city of Kish to rely on one of the country’s cities. We can increase the visual appeal of the film.

The message being conveyed

In the summary of the story of “Hotel” it is stated: “He who leaves heaven will go to hell” and the course of the story follows exactly the same theme. On the one hand, Ramin, on the day of his wedding with his favorite wife, goes after his first wife greedily for money, and continues the story of his new married life. Hos goes after another woman and gets himself into trouble. These two men really take themselves from heaven to hell and at the end of the story they are punished for betraying the love and trust of their wives and are forced to continue living in difficult conditions and with limited freedom. The audience laughs at it, but it is actually a bitter truth, it wants to show the consequences of lying and betrayal.

last word

In the end, it should be said that Masoud Atyabi after making several successful comedies in attracting the audience with the movie “Hotel” showed that it is still possible to make a healthy comedy movie far away from the ugliness that is common in some of the so-called humorous and comedic movies. He made the audience sympathize with him. “Hotel” is a movie that, unlike some of the comedy movies released in recent months, does not make fun of the audience’s consciousness and does not want to make the audience laugh at any cost, even if by making disgusting and trivial gestures, and the most important feature of “Hotel” is the atmosphere It is family. At a time when many drama series are either facing an age limit for the show or because of the subject and content, families themselves do not want to see the work, it has managed to be an attractive comedy that the Iranian family can watch without any stress or worry. Enjoy it, a situation comedy that tells its simple and straightforward story with humor. Although Atyabi has been successful in creating comedy situations in his films and gets a good score from the audience, he still needs to focus more on the structure and power of directing.
