Trust cinema – Shadmehr Rastin said in a short interview with Khabar Online about the prevalence and prevalence of vulgarity in Iranian cinema: The main point is not to blame the people, the main thing is to think a little about the subject of the movies we see. There are two people named Saeed Sohaili and Masoud Atyabi, who entered the cinema from the field of sacred defense, and their works have a specific theme, laughing at the thoughts of the Islamic Republic of Iran and mocking and vulgarizing those thoughts.
At the beginning of these films, first they laugh at the issue of tradition and modernity, then they make fun of it, and the audience laughs at the vulgarity of the thoughts of this group and gives money to it, and this story started with the movie “Evictions” by Masoud Dehnamaki, and the audience wants this way. Confirm the vulgarity of this thinking. If we look at “The Tenants” we will find that it raises an issue that all people are involved in, but deals with it from a humorous angle. But in this period, we only have movies that make fun of everything, at the first stage they make fun of the sixties, then the human relations of that decade are brought up, and then the surveillance in that decade and the people who were against that situation. They come to the cinema. The filmmaker, cinematographer and audience all know that watching these movies is to laugh at the vulgarity of that thinking, but they still go to the cinema. These films started with “Amber Whale” which happened to be one of the very good films in this category, then Mr. Davoudi made “Hazarpa”.
But anyway, these movies have their own sales and movie directors are very busy with them.
Yes, if Mr. Ismaili sees that number, he should also know that he will laugh at the vulgarity of that type of thinking. In fact, the authorities should know that people pay money to laugh at their thinking. These same people have no problem when a good movie like “Hero” comes along and they still accept that movie and are ready to pay for it.
In fact, it is because of laughing at the thought that “Fossil” is considered the best-selling movie in the history of cinema?
What is the theme of the best-selling film in the history of cinema? If you want to make a blockbuster movie, there are two ways to do it, in the glory of the fifties and in the vulgarity of the sixties. At that time, some singers were not allowed into the “Colorful” program. Now, when they want to set the fifties as a standard, they only show those singers, that’s the vulgar view, they look at everything from the perspective of vulgarity, show it as worthless and laugh at it. Finally, when we go everywhere, there are no pictures of any of the best-selling movie actors on the wall, we see pictures of Khosrow Shakibaei and Ali Nasiryan and these great artists because the audience is smart.
Mr. Dehnamaki is a faculty member of the university. But in the same university, when a good movie is talked about, no one goes to his works, instead, “a simple incident” is analyzed and the student leaves the class with regret. The student wants to become Sohrab Shahid-e-Thalit and Abbas Kiarostami, but in the end he creates “fossil” and such works.
