He continued: At the same time, we had a script called “Maslehat Nizam”, which remained stagnant. to Hossein Darabi I suggested that he read the script and give his opinion. After some time, Ishan said that he likes the story, but if he wants to make a good work, he should write his own narration. Finally, he turned the story into the screenplay of “Maslehat” and this work was made.

The producer of “Maslaht” about the recent attacks on the film and the reason for seizing it Year He said: I think we didn’t understand cinema properly in our country. Both those who are sympathetic to cinema and understood its importance, and those who consider cinema to be a nuisance and seek to get rid of it. A part of those who realized the importance of cinema and are of the same opinion as us, although they mostly don’t make films themselves, but they are so important for cinema. Saying Sometimes they magnify whether or not it will be screened as a national security issue.

oral He continued: The second part is those who pay attention to the field of culture from a security point of view, that is, they think that culture should be governed by the same frameworks that govern security issues. Whenever this happened in the field of culture, with a subjugation we faced. The very strange thing is that filmmakers in the field of revolution and its related themes are more prone to this situation. In fact, in different governments with different views of those who made serious films, everyone got into trouble.

He emphasized: the issue of “interest” is the result of impatience and additional impatience. It seems that in our country it is not possible to talk about one Problem He spoke, and if there is any talk, they say it is blackmail, while this issue does not apply to “Maslaht”. Some people criticized my previous work, “Seeing this movie is a crime” and said why I didn’t show that the system can work successfully and solve the problem. In the “benefit” of the system, it does this, but less than “watching this movie is a crime”. Tolerance It means that it has been suspended for more than a year, it is strange that the film is facing such troubles curtain It has arrived and they are currently talking about confiscating it.

In response to the question of how a filmmaker should show his concern in order not to get into trouble, the producer of “Maslehat” said: “We are dealing with the problem and crisis of trust.” to do we are faced. It is not clear who we trust and who is the trusted person in the cinema? Governments change but this issue remains the same. Why do we have to face the army of shadows? In fact, I don’t know who banned our film for three years. I know there is a part of the judiciary that did not like the movie, but who made the decisions?

He emphasized: We are for this country our hearts It burns and we are in favor of the Islamic revolution. I am interested in themes related to the Islamic Revolution Scripts I have in this field, but I can’t go to any of them. Do I have to make a comedy? Unfortunately, for the past forty years, the serious filmmakers of the revolution and all the first-class works of the revolution cinema faced problems. We have to judge our hat and see if it is from the cinema The revolution except The same films that were treated differently, are they a document of our honor or not?

Hossein Darabi, the director of “Maslehat”, in response to the question of how much the initial script was changed, stated: the whole story and its essence remained, but in the script, the approach, ending and treatment of the characters were in the way that I perceived and my taste. It changed and became different.

Maybe our film is not too political because it is about the issue big He speaks that it is very important and can be the concern of different communities, but some people want to relate the work to a movement and party.

The director of “Maslehat” stated about the ending of the film: When writing the script, we think about the ending a lot, but we came to the conclusion that the ending should be like this in the pre-production. This ending is closer to my personal taste and it was important for us as producers to leave the audience in a good mood even if we are talking about a bitter subject.

Darabi, pointing out that he is a filmmaker Should not He said: “Your interest” was our concern. The revolution had a series of ideals that still exist and some people still pay for it. I hope that it will be discussed because some people with their incompetence are doing things to make the movie difficult.
