Pejman Jamshidi’s strange resemblance to Javad Razovian!/ When history repeats itself
Once upon a time, Javad Razovian was a prolific comedy actor like Pejman Jamshidi, who is a regular in most comedy films these days, but now he has no place in film productions for a long time and it is unlikely that a film with his presence will even be able to return its production budget.
Charso Press: The cinema box office favors the production. When all the signals coming from the box office to the producers are the good sales of comedies and the failure of almost all non-comedies, one cannot expect investors and producers who are looking for a return on their investment and financial profit to invest in a genre other than comedy.
For a long time, Iranian cinema only counts on the sale of comedies, and most of the non-comedies go on the screen to get sex. In this situation, we cannot expect the opportunity to produce films in genres such as drama, melodrama, crime, war, etc. The tastes of moviegoers are so used to comedy movies that they can no longer bear to watch movies whose rhythm is not as fast as comedy movies and watching them requires a lot of patience and thinking about the meaning of the movie. But the door does not always turn on this heel. Finally, there comes a time when people get fed up with this situation and stop watching comedy movies. That’s when the main problem, i.e. lack of audience in Iranian cinema, shows itself.
Years ago, cinema audiences turned away from comedies, but since other genres had not yet completely caught up, there was a chance for serious films to be noticed. In the early 1380s almost until the end of this decade, cinemas were full of comedies with the actors of 90-episode comic series that sold well at the box office for a few years, but finally the time came when the audience stopped watching them. These films had similar stories and actors and even directors; Javad Razovian, Reza Shafiejam, Majid Salehi and even Reza Attaran continuously played in these comedies, and a director like Qadratullah Salhmirzaei was considered an important director of this type of comedies, but some of these figures have been forgotten and removed from the cycle of Iranian cinema for a long time.
Now the actors, directors and producers of best-selling comedies are almost constant and they go from one movie to another and seem to be imitating their previous works. Pejman Jamshidi and some of the main figures of today’s comedy films are finally coming to the end of their work in the comedy genre, and the audience is tired of watching their works.
A look at the history of cinema shows that the current happiness of officials and managers, owners of works, actors of comedies and movie theaters from the sale of comedies is temporary and sooner or later these repetitive comedies will no longer be attractive to the audience. When comedies fall out of the eyes of moviegoers, not only the genre of comedy will fall out of coin, but almost the entire Iranian cinema will suffer stagnation and decay, and if we do not think about it now, nothing can be done about it at the time of the accident.
