Press conference of the movie “Why don’t you cry?”/ Mohaghegh: We cannot boycott the cinema, we are targeting people’s livelihood.

According to the report of Fars news agency’s film reporter, the highlight of the media meetings on the fourth day of the Fajr International Film Festival was the movie “Why don’t you cry?” turned on

In this meeting, which was held with the performance of Mohammad Reza Magdasian, the producer of the film, Seyed Reza Mohaghegh, was present and responded to the media. The researcher, who spoke passionately and sincerely, even though he was present in the meeting hall with his young daughter, he was able to bring reporters and media people with him.

Seyedreza Mohaghegh, the producer of this movie, said at the beginning of this meeting: In the name of the only God, I congratulate the birthday of Ali (PBUH) and Men’s Day. I express my sympathy with the people of Khoi and I hope that we can help in the difficult days of winter so that the people of this region are not in difficult conditions.

Seyyed Reza Mohaghegh continued: I was working on the production of “Silent City” when Baran Kothari suggested this film, I made an appointment with its director and decided to produce this film.

* The director not coming is disrespectful to the media

In response to the reporter’s question about the director not coming to the meeting hall despite being in the Mellat campus, the researcher said: The director’s not coming is disrespectful to the media, I can’t assign Mr. Motamedi an assignment to come or not. The producer is the owner of the work and decides to be somewhere or not, and I decided to be. This view that they come here and do not come inside the hall, they are responsible for themselves. Today is the birthday of Imam Ali, peace be upon him, who said, “Stand by your word if it is true, and I am true to my word and work.” Cinema owners are people. As a result, it cannot be sanctioned. Will the cinema be closed in Tunisia and Cairo if something happens? Where in the world of free thinking does it mean to force someone to do or not do something?

* We cannot boycott a movie whose owners are people

The researcher continued: “Why don’t you cry?” The producer is the owner of the work and decides to be present in the gathering or not. It is his choice to look behind the door but not to attend the meeting. Today is a blessed day and Hazrat Ali says to stand by your words. We cannot boycott the cinema, which is owned by the people. We are targeting people’s livelihood. There was a discussion about the profession of Nahrim, this issue penetrated into the body of art. Did the events that happened in Cairo and Egypt close the cinema? Didn’t last year’s festivals have this approach? Where in the new thinking world do they order what to do and what not to do?

* If you want to be an enemy to me, do it honorably

Sometimes we have to separate issues and literature, because when we knock on a door, it deserves to be opened and when we are not dealing with it, it should be closed. We heard many conversations saying that you used rent, if you want to be hostile to me, do so with honor. The films that I made before did not cost 400 million tomans, what kind of rent is this? If someone wants you to work in an independent and private cinema because it is against your opinion, you should create suspicion for that. Where were you when I watched with my brother in the art of experience cinema? I am connected to Ras, but I am connected to God. I told my friends that this is your square, I know they will show up, we are the sorrow of the people. Are we separate from people? I am small people.

* Our society is transparent

He added: I was attacked a lot. This year, thanks to God, I had three films in three European art festivals. Darb movie won the award for the best movie of three continents. Mr. Bahrami’s movie won the best director award. I had a hard time and I can’t be angry with cinema. The cinema is my home. Anger has no meaning, you have a discussion and critique, raise it fairly.

Our society is transparent and there are differences of taste everywhere in the world. I appreciate all the Why Don’t You Cry actors for leaving me alone. Why can’t the cinema be turned off? Some issues were raised and they said that Mr. Motamedi did not know that the film was presented at Fajr Festival, I have a text message from him that he announced to deliver a copy of the film to the festival. We should not play in the middle.

* I am proud to be a guardian groom

They said that the researcher is someone’s son-in-law? I am proud to be a groom. I am proud of everything I have achieved. The director of the film mentioned in one of the posts that his name came from the film. Where in the world do they do such a thing as I do? Did you see the credits of the movie, how many times was the name of the director announced in the credits?

I will not go into questions related to the director and leave them to him.

*Cinema never closes/ I know you will come back

He continued: I like cinema. Cinema is my love and you can’t say why you love your love? Everything I did was based on personal interest.

About how much the film review and the director’s disagreement with the producer affect the release of “Why Don’t You Cry?” Does it hit? I don’t have a dispute with anyone and I don’t like to fight with anyone in my life. Friends, we made the amendments that they suggested and presented them to the cinema organization.

Regarding the fact that part of the film is a mockery of values, he replied: We have a set of values ​​in cinema and friends approve a film after reviewing it. In my opinion, there are unsaid things that should be answered.

The researcher continued: Did the director write somewhere that he does not allow me to use his film as a ladder? While he has climbed my ladder. God puts nerds in front of man’s feet, not what are their own intellectual findings.

In the end, the researcher said: I am sorry for all the words that have been said, you live in Iran, where in the world can an actor freely raise these issues? Why don’t you post against the countries that sanctioned us? The cinema never closes. You left today, but I know you will come back again.
