They censored 27 minutes of my film
Massoud Atyabi says that 27 minutes of “Dynamite”, ie five scenes from the presence of Mehdi Faqih and the final sequence of the film, have been removed.
Theater News Base: Masoud Atyabi, the director of the movie “Dynamite”, which is being screened these days, says about the parts of the film that have been deleted: “Mehdi Faqih is a seminary teacher and always invites them to the middle ground.”
The director of “Dynamite” in response to what was the criterion of these deletions and censorships? “They wanted to empty the film of content and say it was just fun,” he says. That council had no purpose, it was sick. “Of course, not all members are meant, the number who connected themselves to some places and forced themselves, which was spontaneous and false, and they were not connected at all.”
He explains: “In these sections that have been deleted, we have scenes where Mr. Faqih tells them to study elsewhere, because this way you can not guide anyone. In the middle of the film, again when the wine is destroyed, he gives another piece of advice that it was not right to discredit people and put them in cyberspace. When they hide the flowers on the roof, he says there is a way to eliminate them. What you did to yourself is a bad thing and why should you be ridiculed ?! They say we should be silent? He says that one should not be silent, the believer should not be silent, the believer should be sensitive to what is happening around him, but there is a way that even Farhad can shave Biston calmly with an ax. Why are you gloomy and dark? “The believer must be clear and enlightened.”
