Why Malik was only in the room and building Legos in the series “Zhob Kari”!

Charso Press: “Zakhm Kari” series, directed by Mohammad Hossein Mahdovian, ended on Friday, December 10 after 13 episodes; A series whose first season met with great success from the audience, and a large part of these audiences were satisfied with the series, that is, they both watched it and liked it; The incident that was not repeated in the second season of the series, and although the audience followed it based on the original brand of the series and its main character, Malik, played by Javad Ezzati, but it could not satisfy them to the same extent and added more to the dissatisfied audience. This series received a lot of reactions from the beginning of its broadcast, and now with the end of this series, we have reviewed its positive and negative points in an interview with cinema critic Keyvan Kathirian.

Cinema critic Keyvan Kathirian about the series “wound” And the second season, which has just finished airing, brought up some analytical points and told Mehr reporter: In my opinion, as is clear, there were more and more effective actors in the first season, which was not the case in the second season. Another point is that the second season is usually not thought of in the stories written for the series. It was like this in “Shaherzad” and later in some series, they think about the next seasons after the success of the first season. However, about this series from the beginning, it seems that there was no intention to make a second season.

The author’s empty hand of the characters of the first season

He added: In any case, the killing of a large number of main characters in season one leaves the hands of the writer and director empty. This process went to the point where the owner was also killed, which means that everything is over, but the friends thought of continuing the construction, they used the remaining characters that were not killed, and other characters were added. In Shahrazad, when the great man dies, part of the potential of the story is lost. Especially, in the second season, the focus of the story was on Malik’s son, that is, the character of Maytham and his mother, which did not work for me.

This movie critic stated: The story in the second season needed more effective characters to have the traction needed to remain attractive for a 13-episode series. For example, in Shahrazad, when the great man dies, part of the story’s potential is lost. Especially, in the second season, the focus of the story was on Malik’s son, that is, the character of Maytham and his mother, which did not work in my opinion. Maitham’s character and his actor did not have the necessary potential; Both the character that is developed by the screenwriter and the actor did not have this capacity.

Kathirian explained why the actors who entered the story in the second season did not communicate with the audience: I think the necessary complications for a series that can be considered a crime were not present in the story and script, the fact that the owner was alive was not used as it should be. And the owner was just in a room building Lego and sometimes we saw him. His presence did not affect the process of the story; Even his and Samira’s divorce was not necessary in the story we saw, because Samira did not marry Toloui either. It was the director’s choice to bring Malik back, but he could have been used more and made an effective presence, which might happen in the third season.

The fantasy of survival of the owner after being buried

Referring to the story of Malik’s character, he reminded: I don’t know how possible it is in the real world of this story that a person who has a heavy legal case can remain free and secret like this, and how much external logic it has, but the premise of the story is this. But Malik’s way of survival was also a little fantasy considering the time when he was unconscious and we see him in the coffin and nails are nailed to the coffin and dirt is poured on him, it is a bit imaginary that he survives and is saved, but ultimately the premise of the story is that He is alive, but at least his being alive should have been used better in the story.

Kathirian said about the other characters of this series: The character of Shafaat played by Mehran Ghafourian was one of the positive points of the series. The main problem in that most of the characters could not be attractive enough was the script of the series and one of the main weaknesses of this season was the script. The script must have the material in terms of story and character development, for example, it gives complications to Elnaz Malek, Shafaat’s wife, that she wants to enter the holding and charity, but then she leaves and does not play a role in these relationships.

This film critic said: In the last few episodes of the series, we saw murders again, and for example, we see that for the second time the girl Maisham loves commits suicide, and repeating a situation without a new reason is not very attractive. Samira also plays the same role and many situations are repeated without new details.

How Toloi chases Maitham step by step but the police can’t, it’s true that in gangster movies like “The Godfather” the police don’t play a role in the equations between the gangsters and they kill and kill freely, but the police and security forces “Wounded” series They are not deleted and they find the owner. Kathirian said about the logic of the absence of the police to follow up the killings: This is a problem when something like an office explosion happens, but there is no police and we don’t have a judicial follow-up. It’s about the police. Here, however, the police only visit the owner and then leave.

How Toloi chases Maitham step by step but the police can’t chase the criminals and the case. It is true that in gangster films like “The Adopted Father” the police do not play a role in the equation between the gangsters and they kill and kill freely, but the problem is that the police and security forces are not removed from the “Zhorm Kari” series and they also find the owner and with Maitham. They are in contact, but we don’t see any other details and they have no effect on the story.

He said about this chapter, which is an adaptation of “Hamlet”, he said: “I don’t see bold lines of adaptation and finally, a pattern or a general impression of “Hamlet” has been taken. In the end, the characters of Maysham and Toloi do not have the ability to believe that they advance the power equations. It can be said about Toloi’s characterization, for example, simply that Toloi is the owner of a children’s charity and at the same time is a “monster theme” and kills people easily, it does not give complexity and depth to his character. The Toloi character is not treated correctly. Samira also owes her payment in the first season of the series. A woman who becomes a monster and wants to reach the top of the pyramid of power. We saw her actions in the first season, but in this season, no other details are added to her game and character.

He said: It is very different whether Javad Ezzati is the lead actor of the series or the actor who plays the role of his son. The actor who played the role of Maysam did not have the power and charm to play the main role.

Kathirian said about the fact that many issues related to power are shown in the form of dialogue in this series: The power and influence behind the scenes of the characters should be depicted so that the audience can understand it. You have to see the brutality in the character, it’s not like you just show someone who says put so-and-so’s head under water and then we think we’re dealing with a powerful person. This power must be believed by the audience. Both the actor must have enough strength and the character must be written correctly.

In the end, referring to one of the characters of the first season, he said: Siavash Tahmorth had such a role with the character of Haj Amo in the first season, and you could see the power in him. Late Cambyses isn’t a strong villain in this series, just like most of the actors weren’t attractive enough this season. I hope the third season will continue with better actors, new relationships and a stronger script and make up for the mistakes. Mohammad Hossein Mahdovian is a good director, with a good script he can achieve better results and repeat the relative success of the first season.
