cinema trust Mohammad Ali Zam, one of the former cultural directors of the country, published a note on his personal page about the movie “They Loved Me” directed by Mohammad Reza Rahmani, which is currently being screened in cinemas. He wrote: “They Loved Me” directed by Mohammad Reza Rahmani On the first day of the screening, I saw it in the cinema with about 300-400 spectators. The film has the pull and gravity necessary to project a social issue. Considering that the focus of the film is on a harmless social issue and free from any sarcasm and criticism towards the ideology of the government, it can be used as a scientific example and fulfill an artistic mission in criticizing one of dozens of social problems.
From the cultural-emotional point of view, the film “They Loved Me” has many capabilities to increase the audience’s attention to the film’s theme, which is strengthening the family foundation and the importance of generation and childbearing, a problem faced by societies involved in the manifestations of modernity, and today’s humanity has tried to By using emotional robots, pets and artificial intelligence, etc., to compensate for its lack.
This film is also effective and constructive for the audience from the perspective of anthropology and contemporary social communication.
The biting tone of the film, from the point of view of a part of the audience, also tells about some of the tragedies under the skin of the city, which, unfortunately, the oblivious media and the careless social and cultural institutions of the government, instead of seeing, dealing with and scientifically benefiting from the opinions of psychologists and sociologists, in order to solve them, irresponsibly They are past and passing, and today’s society has led us to blackness and social “anomy”.
According to the official report of one of the statistical centers of the system, regarding the record of divorce in 1402, the institution that had about 130 billion approved budget for the prevention of social harms, spent only 40 billion on this issue and spent most of it on unrelated matters. Unfortunately, the security of everything, including culture, art, and social and political categories, has caused the most obvious problems of these sectors to be considered security, and since the circle of security is limited to violent behavior and acts of violence, none of these The problems do not face a solution and we have a stockpile of these worn out, rusty issues and papers that day by day lead to a class divide and further distancing of the citizens, especially the youth and the generations of the 70s, 80s and 90s, with the ideology of the government, while according to Mr. “Aristotle” planning and finding ways to solve such harms can be effective in “cultivating the soul of society”.
Regardless of political and governmental issues, this film is a human film that depicts a corner of philanthropy and has set the goal of saving human beings, which is the teaching of all heavenly religions and the claim of all democratic schools and civil societies to the extent that some of them are saved. Human life is considered the salvation of the whole society.
These days, in order to secure their erosive expenses, the ruling current of the cinematography and cinematography usually pursues the screening of some superficial movie genres that have no role in the moral development and awareness of the society, and unfortunately, there is no desire from the governments to give priority to the field of culture. And the path of cinema is moving in a direction that has distanced the cultural and social cinema from the common currency of the country, and the audience has gradually forgotten this type of cinema and its diverse and productive genres.
While in the days of the 60s and 70s, the ideal cinema was considered to be the one that emerged from the all-round growth of film genres and each genre guided its fans to morals and human behavior. The proof of this claim is the official statistics regarding the number of viewers of those two decades of cinema with the two following decades (80s and 90s), which indicates that many serious audiences have lost their connection with cinema, and most of the audiences of yesterday are angry with cinema because of the lack of production of their desired films. have done
These days, cinemas host special audiences who, more than feeling, reasoning, rationality and promoting a humane and moralistic view, are looking for pastime and entertainment with envelopes of pefila and eggs… like the cinema of the 1940s and 1950s, and the majority of the Iranian society, on the other hand, with their backs To the current TV and cinema, they are looking for the optionalism of shows from non-Iranian channels and platforms.
However, many painful and reforming filmmakers inevitably avoid making such films due to lack of support, and some suffer from depression, isolation, and some turn to stay at home, and some, like Pourahmad Daraviz, and some inevitably become emigrants.
Our cinema and other artistic and cultural sectors today, as in the past, suffer from the lack of government, are brave and God-fearing men who sincerely and passionately do not hesitate to make any efforts to restore the authority of culture and do not hesitate to confront any violent and extreme currents, stable and unstable, and painful artists. support and open the way for the revival of the forgotten genres of cultural, social, moral, epistemological cinema, which involves strengthening the foundations of human defense and national boundaries.
The movie “They Loved Me” which was produced with the capital of the private sector needs the assistance of socially responsible organizations in advertising and screening. This type of minimal support shows the serious tendency of statesmen to be responsible, who ride on the power, politics, and national wealth to open the path of cultural enlightenment for the people, especially the youth, and to open the way for the development of culture and art to solve social, moral, and economic problems. Open it!
