Where have you been so far? All this litigation against the screenwriter!
Wouldn’t it be better if you appeared in the face of all kinds of economic corruption, from dollars and coins to mountaineering, land grabbing, forestry, and so on? Where were you then?
Theater News Base: On the last day of the film festival, in the press conference of the last film of the festival, Ms. Noushin Mearaji, the screenwriter of Nemour film, uttered a sentence that caused a great deal of controversy. Following this incident, currents tried to question the entire festival, the cinema organization and the Ministry of Guidance by highlighting this statement and this sentence. February 17, Ms. Mearaji apologized in writing And wrote:
“I, Noushin Mearaji, as an Iranian bound to Islam and aware of the sacred relations and sharia of the Shiites, it is natural that I consider it necessary and definite to issue a wedding sermon during the marriage of the couple, and I firmly believe in it. […] Therefore, while emphasizing that I have full faith in the moral and religious principles in the relationship between men and women, it is necessary if the stressful conditions of press conferences and the atmosphere of the festival have caused the right to be not properly addressed and offend some of our dear compatriots. “Let me apologize.”
But these reactions continued in such a way that the Friday Imams spontaneously addressed the Friday prayers of several different cities this week (February 18) and even reached the point where, citing the apology of Ms. Mearaji, the secretary of the famous Amrbeh headquarters and the prohibition of evil in Isfahan Tweeted and wrote: “This apology shows that he is not an apostate and that his sentence is not death, but it does not mean that his treatment will be neglected.” !
These reactions escalated so much that on February 20, Ms. Mearaji released a video again explaining the circumstances of what she said and the events of that meeting of the film’s press conference, and you will apologize again.
But still, they do not seem to be a current. Now it’s a really weird story!
All the events of the Fajr Festival and this controversial margin, etc. What is the concern of what percentage of the society? Why do not you appear so powerful in the face of the most important issues and problems that the whole of Iranian society is involved in?
Will these friends, who are so confused by one sentence – honestly, if they did not pay attention to it, no one would pay attention to it at all – will they appear in the same way in the face of other events in cinema?
Is there anything higher than the rights of the people? Why have you been silent in the face of years of squandering all kinds of people’s rights in the cinema, but you do not fall short of an inadvertent or intentional wrong sentence?
Why not talk about the various rents and the cost of public money for films that have neither sold nor made an impact on society? There was an example of this in the same Fajr festival this year!
It is true that the sentence that Noushin Mearaji said is contrary to the norms and laws of our society, but there is really only one case and one sentence in our society that is contrary to the laws and limits of the law and custom, and so on. Has it all come out?
Wouldn’t it be better if you appeared in the face of all kinds of economic corruption, from dollars and coins to mountaineering, land grabbing, forestry, and so on?
Against high prices, unemployment, protests by teachers and the majority of community workers, against the anomalies caused by the effects of the economic crisis on families, against the people’s daily worries about the future of their children, against the migration of hundreds of thousands of young Iranian elites and … why did he say nothing? Can’t you? Why do not you protest and close your eyes?
I am sure that you are better informed, so there is no need to continue and list the problems of the society, the problems that all members of the society are struggling with, but all of them have been silenced. Do you think the sentence of apostasy and execution!
Judge for yourself and your hat!
Give us the right to think that a political event is going on behind the scenes, and this event has also been used as a pretext to put pressure on the guidance, the cinema organization or …
Just a small request, please do not burn this ascetic servant of God in political fireworks.
