Ibrahim Golestan was arrogant and despised Nasser Taqwai
In the eyes of some, what brought him to the status of gods, in addition to what was said, was his inherent arrogance, which sometimes became unbearable towards his relatives and friends.
Charso Press: Ahmad Talebi Najaad in The newspaper of trust He wrote: For about a hundred years, Eric sat in power and judged and ruled like an undisputed ruler, and in the end, he died alone in his 62-room ancient palace in the suburbs of London.
His reign was not in the field of politics but in the breadth of culture, art and history of Iran. He was born in 1301 in Shiraz in an oligarch’s family, his adolescence and youth were spent in the dead wind of the living and the English colonizing the oil-rich region of the south.
His capital was Tehran for many years and London in the second half of his life. He looked at today’s Iran through the narrow lens of distant years and presented himself as the standard of truth. He hurt and humiliated many people with his tongue, which had recently replaced his camera and pen. From Nasser Taqwai the great to the prominent translator of Najaf Darya Bandari who were condemned by him.
Is Golestan really worthy of all this attention?
It is not possible to issue a definitive verdict like himself. Golestan’s writing and film career is summarized in several translations, writing two novels and a story collection, two feature films – Clay and Mirror and Asrar Ganj Dareh Jeni – and about ten commissioned documentary films, which, despite their small quantity, have the weight and burden of Pro Payman. Many novices learned to play with words and deal with the poetic generation with the Rooster novel and the “Thirsty Atmosphere and Thirsty Wall” collection. Young people are also moviegoers with poetic documentaries such as “Moj, Marjan, Khara” and Black House. The joint work of Golestan and Forough and the feature film Clay and Mirror taught them to overcome superficiality and escape from Persian films. Another lasting work of Golestan was to remove talented people from previous unfavorable situations and put them on the path of growth. Forough Farrokhzad and the influence of Golestan on him and his poetry, as well as Zakaria Hashemi are among those who owe their greatness to Golestan.
In the eyes of some, what brought him to the status of gods, in addition to what was said, was his inherent arrogance, which sometimes became unbearable towards his relatives and friends. With the support of his ancestors (one of his uncles was an influential cleric during the first Pahlavi period) and this position, he made a thick shield against which no spear could work, especially when in the first half of the fifties with the political comedy “Secrets of the Genie Valley” Pahlavi II’s government mocked him and what words were issued by him in these forty-odd years. In the coming days and months, many people will write and say the truth about Golestan, and this is right.
Apart from his arrogant and royal view, Golestan was a great and role-playing human being, and he should be honored and of course criticized for his long and blessed life.
