Mars once upon a time series; Continuation of the confrontation of bad earths and good spaces + film

Fars News Agency – Art Group: The series “Roozi Roozari Mars” is the latest work of Peyman Qasimkhani, which started airing on Monday, July 20, 1401. “Once upon a time Mars” is one of those works that became a place of controversy and crisis before it started. Because he was caught in the illegal behavior of the platforms and their lack of coordination with Satra, at the very beginning of the broadcast of the opening episodes, Namava took this series out of reach and announced that the reason for its removal was not having an official license from Satra, the reason that apparently after a few The day is over and finally the third part of the series has been released. In this report, we will take a look at the content and the story that follows this series.

Peyman Ghasemkhani has a long history of writing screenplays for popular TV series such as Shabbai Barreh, Powerchain, and Dotchin, in the last few years, he has also turned to directing, and after successful films at the box office (Khob, Bad, Jalf 1 and 2), he made his first series on the home television network. has experienced with his old friend Mohsen Chegini.

In the summary of the series “Rozi Rozgari Mars” it is stated that Nasser is a petty and unsuccessful criminal who has many debts and his life together is also in trouble. He, who has gone bankrupt due to betting and gambling, sees the only way to save himself in traveling to space. On the other hand, Luna is a real estate consultant and residency lawyer on Mars who has to do things related to Nasser’s residency.

“We’re living in a time where all the creatures from different planets are traveling to Mars… how about you?”

The subject of the series, as the name suggests, is a fantasy comedy that takes place in an imaginary space and in space, and the main character of the story, in a complex story, opens his foot to the planet Mars.

If we carefully look at most comedy works, we see its driving force in the element of contrast; The contrast between wise and ignorant, between knowledge and ignorance, ugliness and beauty, fatness and thinness, and other contrasting qualities. It is from these contradictions that comedy is born. In the meantime, one of the most used conflicting situations is the conflict of one or more people with a new society.

Now, one or more people are thrown from time to time or from one society to another, and their placement in a new environment creates funny and thought-provoking situations.

dThe truth is that the most successful comedies have also emerged from these contradictions, but the important point in this model is to observe the side of justice and fairness, far from specific political tendencies to criticize the target society. Usually, in this type of comedies, it is easy and humorous to consider the moods of a group, a group, or a society, joke with them, or criticize them.

Usually, the sudden presence of a person or a group in another land can be a good opportunity to express ideas that are aimed at creating critical attitudes of the target society. Perhaps, if we want to give an example of television productions, the best example is the series “Shabhai Barreh” whose author is Peyman Ghasemkhani. The presence of a journalist (Kianoush) in a place called Berreh made the TV audience familiar with a land called Berreh where anti-values ​​have become values.

Lying and cheating are considered cleverness, and the first and last word is not the law, which is forced or tricked.

Although in this series, the idea of ​​aliens entering the earth, the author’s view of the earthlings, which seems to be a metaphor for Iran and Iranians, is the same as the zero and hundredth view of the “Nights of Lamb” series. A completely negative view of Iranian personality and culture. It should be said that this critical view, although it could be aimed at social pathology and criticism of bad and reprehensible behaviorIt may be laggy and commonplace of the society, but the author’s sharp look caused him to take the form of insults with extreme blackness and biased payment.

It seems that Ghasemkhani has gone to the same critical point of view in writing his third work. This time, however, in the home show network, where the space is freer than television and there are less supervisions, and as a result, the hand of the writer, who is also a director here, is more open to instill this bitter, negative and black look on Iranian society, especially since unlike “Passengers” here, a A person from Earth (so-called terrestrial) goes to another planet, Mars, and this story finds the necessary potential to depict the mental utopia desired by the author/director.

The series “Once upon a time on Mars” seems to have no special story and is just a collection of very clear and crude jokes and ironies. Stale and not-so-funny jokes that seem to have been taken from the shallowest humor channels of social networks. If we analyze the hidden layers and the implicit content of these two parts of the series, we can clearly see the filmmaker’s mentality about the earth (you read Iran); Due to the bad conditions of the society, all the earthlings have wasted their talents and as a result, they are forced to either spend their time in idleness and idleness, like Nasser’s friends, or like Nasser himself, they turn to illegal activities such as stealing and betting.

Although only 2 episodes of “Rozi Roozari Mars” series have been aired so far, but by examining these two episodes, a brief picture of the filmmaker’s utopia can be extracted in comparison with current Iran; On Mars, unlike Earth, feminism is common. In the family of Luna (Vishka Asayesh), the management inside and outside the house is with the woman and everything is under her control and permission. The woman owns the house; Let’s remember the scene where Iskander -Luna’s husband- tried to take the UFO switch from his wife with a lot of silence and begging.

In this planet, the “housewife” has an intelligent robot to do all the daily tasks. In Luna’s Martian family, Gandhi, the son of the family, is very similar to the Earthlings. Gandhi only cares about his mother and is unhappy that she treats him like a child. Gandhi is looking for it to go to the party hidden from Luna’s eyes and fly around in her flying saucer. Next, it should be seen how Gandhi will act as a symbol of Martian youth.

In this two-part series, where most of the time was spent on the ground, not even a good ground is shown, the filmmaker’s image of Iranian women represented by “Mehgol” is also a disaster; A forceful and harsh woman, far from feminine tenderness, who, despite her physical appearance, probably under the influence of the patriarchal society, cannot take her right from Nasser and constantly threatens him with her brothers.

According to most of the reviews written on the first episodes of the series; The most important weakness of this series is not having a clear and catchy story that will encourage us to watch the next episodes.

In the end, it should be said the fantasy atmosphere of the story and its broadcast on the network The home screening has provided the necessary platform for the filmmaker to express his thoughts and beliefs, it remains to be seen how Qasimkhani will use this platform and whether he will observe the side of justice and fairness in criticizing the Iranian society?! Also, we have to wait to see what kind of society Mars is as an ideal society for filmmakers?
