«پرسپوليس»، ساتراپی
by hoder
06-May-2008
 

دیشب بالاخره پرسپولیس مرجان ساتراپی را در سینما دیدم. ولی راستش به نظرم تأثیر مخرب این فیلم بر روی افکار عمومی آمریکا و اروپا از تمام فیلم‌های ضد ایرانی که تا حالا دیده‌ام بیشتر است. چرا؟ چون فیلمی خوب، خوش‌ساخت، صمیمانه و باور کردنی‌ست.

درست است که ساتراپی در فیلم آدم‌های عادی دور و بر خودش را (عادی البته از دید ساتراپی یعنی مردم مرفه و غیرمذهبی شمال شهر تهران) خیلی انسانی و چندوجهی نشان می‌دهد و با ظرافت دردها و شادی‌های آنها را به تصویر می‌کشد. (با مرکزیت شخصیت مادربزرگ که برای ساتراپی، به عنوان قطب‌نمای اخلاقی، در واقع جانشین خدای کم‌فایده‌ی فیلم می‌شود).

اما تأثیر مخرب فیلم در نگاه ساتراپی به مردم «عادی» دور و برش نیست؛ بلکه در نگاه گزینشی و مطلق‌گرای او به هر کسی‌ست که «خودی» (یعنی دوست یا فامیل ساتراپی) نیست. مثلا تظاهرکنندگان ضد شاه در زمان انقلاب یا سربازان ایرانی در جنگ عراق، از دید بصری، سراپا سیاه و بی‌صورت‌اند، بدون کوچک‌ترین نقطه‌ی سفید.

ولی از این بدتر تصویر کاملا اهریمنی و غیرانسانی‌ست که ساتراپی از هر کسی که به شکلی به حکومت «سیاه» جمهوری اسلامی ربط دارد می‌دهد: آدم‌هایی با حداقل ممکن فضای سفید در فیگورشان، زنانی چادری و اخمو با صور‌ت‌هایی عین همدیگر و مردانی ریشو و اخمو، همه با اسلحه و باز هم همه دقیقا شکل همدیگر.

دوگانه‌ی «مردم فرهیخته/ دولت شیطانی» که ساتراپی بر اساس آن روایتش را می‌سازد دقیقا مطابق پیام تازه‌ی بوش و رفقایش در اروپا هم هست. چطور شده است که ساتراپی با آن همه ادعاهای ضدآمریکایی و ضد سارکوزی‌اش موبه‌مو پیام اصلی آنها را درباره‌ی ایران تکرار می‌کند؟

بوش می‌گوید که تاریخ غنی و فرهنگ پویای ایران را می‌ستاید، ولی می‌‌خواهد ایرانیان را از شر حاکمان‌شان آزاد کند. حاکمانی که از دید بوش تمام آزادی‌های ایرانیان را نقض کرده‌اند و ثروت ملی ایران را برای کمک به تروریسم و افراط‌ گرایی و ساختن بمب اتمی به باد می‌دهند. سارکوزی هم دقیقا همین مضمون را چند بار تکرار کرده است که مردم ایران بافرهنگ و باشعورند، ولی جمهوری اسلامی حکومتی تروریست و سیاه است.

ساتراپی خوب می‌داند که دوگانه‌ی «ملت فرهیخته/حکومت شیطانی» را بوش و سارکوزی برای آن ساخته‌اند تا افکار عمومی جهان را قدم به قدم به سمت راه‌حلی برای نجات دادن این مردم خوب از چنگ این حکومت اهریمنی آماده کنند. حالا یا از راه حمله‌ی نظامی یا حمله‌ی اقتصادی که یک سال است رسما شروع شده است.

تصویری که مرجان ساتراپی از حکومت امروز ایران می‌سازد این شکلی‌ست: دولتی که دخترهای معصوم و بی‌گناه را در لباس‌های سیاه زندانی می‌کند و آنها را به کتک زدن خود وامی‌دارد، دولتی که یک میلیون نوجوان بی‌گناهش را با وعده‌ی کلید پلاستیکی بهشت و دختران باکره‌اش به فنا می‌دهد،‌ حکومتی که پلیسش زن‌ها را به‌خاطر دویدن در خیابان دستگیر می‌کند و هر جا زنی دست مردی را لمس کند سر می‌رسد، دولتی که جوان‌های منتقد بی‌گناهش را بی هیچ دلیلی در زندان تیرباران می‌کند، و آخر سر هم حکومتی که پلیسش جوان‌ها را از ترس دستگیر شدن در میهمانی به کام مرگ می‌فرستد (بر خلاف کتاب، فیلم هیچ اشاره‌ای به حمایت غرب از استفاده‌ی عراق از بمب شیمیایی نمی‌کند).

این تصویر یک طرفه و سیاه دقیقا چیزی‌ست که آمریکا و اروپا سال‌هاست از حکومت ایران نشان می‌دهند و صرف جدا دانستن مردم فرهیخته‌ی ایران از این حکومت شیطانی در اصل هدف امپراتوری آمریکا که سرنگون کردن این حکومت مستقل است، تفاوتی ایجاد نمی‌کند. آن پیام «مردم وحشی/حکومت شیطانی» دیگر سال‌هاست (از زمان فیلم «بدون دخترم هرگز») که دیگر در باره‌ی ایران کاربردش را از دست داده است.

ولی «پرسپولیس» دقیقا به اندازه‌ی همین خوش‌ساخت‌تر و باور کردنی‌تر بودنش نسبت به «بدون دخترم هرگز»، بیشتر به نفع ماشین پروپاگاندای امپراتوری آمریکاست. چون تحریف‌ها و گزینش‌ها و اغراق‌هایش در واقعیت ایران، (که هرگز به وضعیت امروز آن اشاره‌ای نمی‌کند) بر خلاف دروغ‌های اغراق‌آمیز و آزاردهنده‌ی «بدون دخترم هرگز» تماشاچی را از خود نمی‌راند. این را به زودی با آغاز نمایش «پرسپولیس» در آمریکای شمالی و کمپین تبلغیاتی‌ای که پیرامون آن از طرف شرکت سونی پیکچرز به راه خواهد افتاد، خواهیم دید.

Dear Monda, The comparison

by jaleh (not verified) on

Dear Monda,

The comparison with women writer in Iran came as a part of my description of unnatural phenomenon of Satrapi's work becoming such a BIG HIT in the west. That is, I was saying that in my opinion, the book has absolutely NO VALUE, not as an art (I consider it on par with a juvenile Archie magazine), not as an autobiography, because she's not contributed anything of value to the society to have a worthy autobiography, and if it is an event-reporting biography (which she intends it to be), it is so full of ignorant misinformation, and western propaganda driven misinformation, that I consider it just a trash.

I might not have made it clear, but I did point out that despite lack of value, the book has become a BIG HIT here, and I tried to answer why. So, after expressing my negative opinion on the book,I implied that the book is backed in the west by efforts of the types of Spielberg and all of their related media giants who promote propaganda du jour of the type as a GREAT new genre, just to get their own propaganda out of it, and naturally, such a work will be flushed after few years when its usefulness as a propaganda tool has died out. I also implied that the book has an appeal among a fringe community of expats , who share some of the same values of the author, that is, have no sensitivity for the 1/2 million martyrs of the war, would even find the word martyr funny and IRI-kinda word. But, for the 70+ Iranians these are the real facts, and a book of Satrapi's quality is indeed considered a cheap trash. To CLARIFY that point further, I compared it with the Iranian writers inside Iran, who DO NOT HAVE TO use Satrapi's cheap ploys to gain fame and endearment.

Furthermore, I don't think that Satrapi's has some mistakes that others happened to abuse for propaganda. She makes DELIBERATE effort which she knows would appeal to the people who use her work for the propaganda purpose, just for a selling point. Her talks of Plastic Key to heaven (reminds you of Jerusalem Post's talks of plastic key and 72 virgins, read today's paper), chemical weapons, Saddam and Saudi offer to end warand compensate BS( just like Barak's "generous offer to Palestinians" BS), the Passport that indicates "no travel is permitted in the Palestinian occupied territories", yet does not read the same thing about travel ban to Apartheid South Africa, the entire conclusion on "Shabat"... I mean the book is a repeat of the cheapest anti-Iran propaganda that the west loves. I am saying that precisely that is what has brought its fame in the west. And, that is why it won't have any lasting effect inside Iran. I compared it to works of Iranian women in Iran, both books and movies, which have gained prominence WITHOUT such ploys.

BTW, I did not mean to say that the expats here do not produce good work on Iran. I think as much as the books of Satrapi and Nafisi are trashy, the books of Hamid Dabashi as an example are great, and you sure can not accuse him of being an IRI mouthpiece.

Hope this clarifies my comment.

Clarification please?

by Monda on

I genuinely wonder the following, and would love to hear from Jaleh or like-minded iranian.com readers:

- Why do the accomplishments of women inside Iran need to be brought into your argument of Satrapi's talents? Or into the work of any Iranian woman outside-of-Iran for that matter?

- Why some of us link the success of women inside Iran to the position of IR? Are we appreciating the circumstances in which these hardworking women in the professional arenas, are treated? And more sadly, what privileges are they gaining in terms of their basic human rights?

- Are you calling Satrapi's work "purely garbage" because of  specific qualities or lack thereof?  Which makes me wonder whether perhaps you don't believe Satrapi's medium is Art at all? Therefore you see it as pure garbage?

I benefitted from reading your comments on this thread.

to Jaleh : IRI's Propaganda

by Troneg on

You are doing IRI's propaganda. Satrapi tells the facts as they are.

Women go to university in Iran but to have a passport and travel they need husband or father's authorization ! you find it normal ?! and nobody shouldn't tell it because westerners ?! STOP we are not dude.

I read Satrapi's work since publication and she don't need any help to be considerd as great artist. She did other works which are not autobiographic and they are excellent. which are IRI artists you could mention ?

Don't call her work Garbage. If you want know what is gabrage look at what you and M. Hoda are writing. Garbage writing is your expertise.

hOdA = JACK OF ALL NONE OF THE BEST

HE IS WHOM IS CALLED : " JACK OF ALL NONE OF THE BEST"

Adamforoush@PRESSTV :
//youtube.com/watch?v=xpf_ZxgC5lM
Adamforoush@IRIB :
//youtube.com/watch?v=0mkPCjere6I

hOoA = The one who got the bubble illusion of being expert in all fields and believes he is entitled to attack everything revealing the fascist identity of the IR monarchy... But here is why:

Based on HIS NONSENSE, and TOTALLY to the contrary with what you find in a Democratic System, this is "The REGIME" owning the Nation not "The Nation"(as Citizens) owning "The REGIME"(I use the term "Government" for democratic systems); hence, it is The REGIME that is entitled to define and determine what is called The Nation's Rights;

So -as it is clear- it is not actually the nation who is entitled to delegate the authority to the regime, whereas, the regime get its legitimacy from somewhere else(the sky?).

Considering all mentioned above, consequently, you as a citizen are not entitled to either question the regime or make it look questionable as they are not responsible to you whereas it is you -as the citizen- responsible to them!

[They are responsible to where they get their legitimacy which has been actually referred somewhere(sky) but not the nation!]

Accordingly, HE, as The Agent representing the monarch Regime, entitles HIMSELF to take a citizen like Satrapi -as a property of and a responsible one to the regime- to the Regime's court and question then condemn her for making the regime look questionable... (in contrary with a democratic system).

So what HE does, would consequently reflect even much better the type of The Regime, Iranians been dealing with -an undeniable fact that after almost 30 years, wouldn't need the nation to look for any further evidences to believe.

HERE, BASED ON THE FACTS PROVIDED ABOVE, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ALL THE READERS TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE NAME FOR THE TYPE OF THE REGIME "IRI" MUST BE? YOU GUYS ANSWER!

TO ME, THE IRI IS WHAT SO CALLED IN MATH, "GHAZAYAYE PISHINIAN". IT MEANS ITS REALITY ALREADY BEEN REVEALED AND RECOGNIZED BY ALL FACT FINDERS WITHOUT NEEDING ANY FURTHER EVIDENCES AND PROOF.

THE SAME WAY YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO HAVE SOME ONE PROVE YOU THIS RUDIMENTARY FACT IN GEOMETRY ON HOW "EVERY TRIANGLE HAS THREE ANGLES", YOU WOULDN'T NEED ANY ONE TO PROVE TO YOU THIS ALSO UNDENIABLE FACT ON HOW "IR IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC REGIME REPRESENTING THE MAJORITY OF IRANIANS BUT A THEOCRATIC, TOTALITARIAN FASCIST ONE THAT HIJACKED THE POWER AFTER THE 1979 REVOLUTION AND DIVERGED THE COUNTRY TO "THE MIDDLE AGES". IS THAT SIMPLE.

I would invite all you readers to pay attention DEEPLY to that precious fact on IR'S REALITY, HIDDEN IN HD's so called Analysis.

By the way! as you see:

NANG BA RANG PAAK NEMISHAVAD.

Besides have fun with "ADAMFORUSH"! :)

Satrapi's Propaganda

by Jaleh (not verified) on

To the anonymous who thinks any garbage should pass just because it is someones' worthless AUTOBIOGRAPHY, and to the person who thinks Azar Nafisi has nothing in common with Satrapi.

Autobiographies are worth reading only if the person has done something valuable, or her narrative is a good reflection of the times the author is describing, or even just because someone is a good writer and the work has some literally merit.

I agree that although both books are cheap political ploys, Nafisi's book and Satrapi's have nothing in common. Nafisi, is at least a talented and learned writer, her book gives indeed a reflection of the revolutionary Iran, her contribution to the society she's describing is palpable, yet she cleverly and intentionally plays the hand of the necons she works and is associated with.

Satrapi's book on the other hand, is a pure piece of garbage of no literally or informative value, is filled with ignorant mistakes, some as big as her going to a hospital where the doctor informs them that the evil Germans (Spielberg loves that more than "Shabbat" I bet) give chemical weapons to Iraqis and Iranians so they can check the effect on these guinea pigs. Somehow, something that even the vilest of neocons couldn't accuse Iran of, the use of chemical weapons, is implied in Satrapi's AUTOBIGRAPHY which is full of her personal misinformation, full of the cheapest anti-Iran propaganda. My comment had to do with WHY such a garbage has been PUMPED to such a degree, and I gave my reasoning. I knew it is an autobiography naturally, you missed MY point.

Her reflections like her aunt's former window cleaner becoming "somebody" after revolution, is of course one that the fringe Iranians who left the country after the revolution, can have sympathy with. But guess what?

After revolution, the majority of university educated inside Iran are WOMEN, many the relatives of that window cleaner, women who are FAST capturing a large population on top of the best painters, best writers, and best movie makers. And, those Iranian writers and film makers, did not have to play the cheap games of Nafisi to gain her prominence. Their works will last decades to come and will be cherished among the 70+million Iranians inside and outside. Unlike the cheap works of Satrapi which for few years will make it on top of the western media's propaganda du jour, thanks to the backing of the types of Spielberg, but then will die like the fad that it really is, and will be flushed promptly to where it belongs.

حودر عزیز واقعا

ٌA Weblogger (not verified)


حودر عزیز واقعا که بازهم گل کاشتی. آقای حسین شریعمتداری که ارباب جدیدت باشد هم اگر راجع به پرسپولیس چیزی می نوشت همین از آب در می آمد. نقد تو آنقدر آبکی و سخیف است که حیف است وقتم را برای توضیح بیشتر تلف کنم.
ساتراپی داستان زندگی خودش را صادقانه و واقع بینامه می گوید. اتفاقا برخلاف بدون دخترم هرگز ساتراپی با تسلط کامل و به گونه ای واقع بینانه آنچه که گذشت را به تصویر می کشد. مفتش عقاید حرفش این است که چرا ساتراپی مثل خودش پروپاگاندای پوپولیستی احمدی نژادی را تبلیغ نمی کند. چرا قهرمانش خمینی نیست و چرا خودش را به شریعتمداری نفروخته است. چرا به سادگی داستان زندگیش را روایت می کند؟
ضمنا اگر قرار است ماشین جنگ را بیفتد (که به هزار و یک دلیل نخواهد افتاد) مقصر آن خامنه ای و احمدی نژاد و بلندپروازیهای اربابان حسین درخشان است نه یک اتوبیوگرافی زنانه.

What is this rap about Satrapi?!

by abadani (not verified) on

Satrapi's books were HER story & she did an AMAZING job! I'm sure the political climate helped with the film's success but that's how things get done in this world. Not a new concept. If YOU have a creative way to share YOUR life story please go ahead& don't let anyone stop you. Promise I would not link your story to the Israel lobby, Bolton or any evil forces!
I heard Satrapi at Harvard and didn't find any similarities between her and Lolita writer Naficy either!

VIVE MARJANE!

by Anonymous123 (not verified) on

Do you understand the concept of "AUTOBIOGRAPHY" and what it is supposed to imply? It was not to be a BOOK OF HISTORY or a BOOK on WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND IRAQ!

It is HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Go educate yourself...

So Dumb!!!

Satrapi's Propaganda

by Jaleh (not verified) on

Very nice article!

I first saw Marjan Satrapi's book few years ago in a bookstore in Miami Beach lumped up with a large group of books promoting Israeli Lobby agenda, including the push for Iraq war, anti-Iran propaganda type of literature, and the likes.

I wasted some money on my curiosity and bought the book, at a time that it was not famous in the US yet. Although I found the book pretty worthless, cheaply mediocre at best, the curiosity kept me going to the final chapters. There I saw stories similar to what my my Israeli friend used to tell me about IRAQI MISSILES HITTING Israel and how they had to escape it. I remember telling my Israeli friend that as far as I knew, the totality of Iraqi missiles killed only one Israeli who actually died from a heart attack, fearing the missile, not the missile itself. Whereas, the Iraq invasion of Iran left close to ONE MILLION DEAD, although we hear much less about that in the news than Israeli scud attack.

So, when I reached the final Chapters in Ms Satrapi's book called "THE SHABBAT", in which her Jewish neighbor "possibly" became the victim of Iraqi "scud" missile that she informs us "it exists", I remembered my Israeli friend. In a story about Iraqi attack on Iran which left over 500,000 Iranian dead FOR SURE, and 200,000 deformed by the western-supplied chemical weapons, the final grief seems to be highlighted by Chapter "Shabbat", in which a single Jewish girl MIGHT HAVE BEEN A VICTIM of this ruthless war with the dark rulers, who imprison the author's family more than what Shah used to do!

I was not curious anymore about seeing the book on the windowpane of the said bookstore, and later on numerous other book stores in the US. And, I was not surprised when I found out that a petty book like that has become part of a university curriculum in the US, not surprised to find it together with "Reading Lolita in Tehran" as representative of what Iran after revolution is all about (promoted by Bernard Lewis and the neocons of Israeli Lobby.)

Finally, I was not surprised the least to see Steven Spielberg, and the media which promote his garbage propaganda like "Munich" to go full force for a movie of Satrapi's cheap work and make it another propaganda tool, this time for Israeli Lobby's present agenda, Iran.

Thankfully, I didn't have to waste money on the film as I did on the book. Glad to share the cost with the author of this good article.

Rahbar's feedback on "Persepolis"

by | (not verified) on

آقا " ایت الله خامنه ای " ( البته با توجه به شایعاتی که مبنی بر سرطان پروستات

ایشون به گوش میرسه، میتونن آغا هم بخونیدش!)، بالاخره تحملشون تموم شد

و حرفی رو که سی ساله روی جگرشون سنگینی میکنه رو بیرون ریختن:

" تخت جمشید نماد حاکمان فاسد و حکومتهای مستکبر است "

اولین نتیجه ای که از این حرف گرفته میشه، اینه که ما ایرانیها تخم و ترکه ی

تمدنمون رو با فساد و استکبار علم کردن و به همین خاطر، هم دیکتاتور پروره مون

خوبه و هم دیکتاتور پذیره مون قویه! خصوصا در سی سال گذشته و احتمالا در

سی سال آینده ( البته با توجه به فلاکت ملت و بی خیالی خیل عظیم دانشجو،

احتمالا تا سیصد سال آینده ) که دیگه حرف نداشته، چون موفق شدیم به جهانیان

ثابت کنیم که ما امت دیکتاتور پرور، نه تنها مدال طلای المپیک دیکتاتورسازی رو

داریم، بلکه در عوض کردن کلمات هم رکورد داریم و در دروغگویی بعد از رسیدن به

حکومت نیز، هم!

ای کوروش هخامنشی دیکتاتور! ای مستبد! ای خونخوار! ای نامسلمون! من به

عنوان یک ایرانی، بعد از اینکه توی مدرسه درس تاریخ رو پاس کردم( البته با

فلاکت )، فهمیدم که تو چه خائن به مملکتی بودی من خبر نداشتم!آخه با

اینکارهایی که کردی، دیگه برای آدم توی مجامع جهانی(بخونید سازمان ملل) آبرو

میمونه؟

ای بی شرم، تو همون دیکتاتوری نیستی که وقتی یکی از دور و بریهات، تز

" حکومت پادشاه " رو به نقد کشید، تزی که بابات معلوم نیست از کجا در آورد،

دادی بدبختو خلع لباس کردن و گفتی حدود بیست سال تو خونه ی خودش زندانی

باشه تا بفهمه دنیا دست کیه! تازه به همینم اکتفا نکردی، گفتی کتاب " حل

المشکلات " بنده خدا هم از بازار جمع بشه و دیگه استاد " استخره "

هم نباشه! ( من که هی نمیتونم بنویسم فلان را بخوانید فلان! خودتون بفهمید

که چی به کجا مربوطه! اگه نفهمیدید هم از نویسنده سوال کنید!) ای نامرد

فاسد، تو همونی نیستی که این " کاظم " رو انداختی تو بند 902 تخت جمشید تا

اعدام بشه؟

ای ناقض حقوق بشر، ای مخالف آزادی بیان، آخه این چه نمایشگاه کتابی بود که

هر سال میدادی تو هگمتانه راه بندازن؟ نمیگفتی یه عده کتابخون میفهمن کتابها

سانسور شده؟(همونطور که فهمیدن، اگه نه که ما هم نمیفهمیدیم!) حالا

سانسور کردی به جهنم، دیگه چرا میدادی کتابها رو جمع کنن؟ نگفنی یکی یه

کتابو دیروز میبینه، امروز که میاد بخره میبینه نیست، جریان لو میره؟

حالا میگیم اصل مترقی حکومت پادشاه برای آخرت مردم خوبه، مردم هم که یه

مشت گوسفند، حالیشون نمیشه، باید زورکی فرستادشون بهشت!همه هم که

عالم دین نیستن، خدایی نکرده یه کتاب منحرف میخونن گمراه میشن، اونوقت اون

دنیا یقه ی پادشاه رو میگیرن!اون کاظم هم میخواست خودش شاه بشه تو رو

بندازه بیرون، باید فتنه اش میخوابید! دیگه با معلمها چیکار داشتی؟ نگفتی بچه ها

میفهمن معلماشون زندانی شده، به پدر و مادرها میگن و میشه حکایت " ننه ام

به خاله ام/ خاله ام به عالم! "؟ ای ناقض حقوق بشر! آخ آخ، من واقعا معذرت

میخوام اینقدر گفتم ناقض حقوق بشر، یادم نبود اون موقع هنوز منشور جهانی

حقوق بشر تدوین نشده بود و تدوینش مال دو هزار و پونصد سال بعده! خب البته

حق داشتی، آخه اون موقع اصلا بشری بوده که حقوقش باشه؟

اما اینها دلیلی بر اعمال ننگین تو نمیشه! خدایی این طرح ارتقاء امنیت اجتماعی

رو از کدوم سوراخ در آوردی؟ تو خودت جزو متبرج ترین آدمهای زمان بودی! داد نزن،

ما هم میدونیم اختراع عکس مال بعد از توئه! اما توی نا آگاه ( یا فکر کنم

داریوشتون بود، اگه اون هم بوده سگ زرد برادر شغاله!)دادی عکسهای

مستکبرانتو روی دیوار تنخت جمشید حجاری کنن تا ما امروز بفهمیم شما با اون

لباسهای لختی پختی، چطور مردم رو به فساد کشوندی!حاشا نکن دلایل مطقنه!

الآن که زمان تو جلاد نیست که وکیل مدافع ها نتونن با موکلشون ملاقات کنن،

نمیبینی وکیلت خفه شده؟ تو هم لطفا! بعد توی ابله اومدی آریو برزن رو مسئول

این طرح کردی، اون ابله تر از تو هم با اون گندی که زد، همه ی عالم از کثافت

کاریهاش باخبر شدن! سردار بهتری نداشتی نادان؟ به همه ی این پاچه گیریها

راضی نشدی، تز کهنه رو رو کردی: مبارزه با علمکهای شیطان! نگفتی سربازهات

وقتی علمکها رو میندازن توی خیابون، یه عده نا آگاه تحریک میشن علمک بخرن و

اخبار آزاد رو از پرس تی وی بشنون؟

ای متکی به سرنیزه! ای مستکبر! فکر میکنی ما توی کتابهای تاریخ نخوندیم که

وقتی دیدی نمیتونی با حرف حساب حریف بشی، اراذل و اوباشتو نصف شب

فرستادی توی کوی دانشگاه " جندی شاپور " تا دانشجوهای بد بخت رو نفله

کنن؟ بی هویت تو همونی نیستی که وقتی دیدی ملت همیشه در صحنه رفتن

تجمع برای عوض کردن اسم خلیج فارس به خلیج ع.ر.ب.ی، سربازهاتو با تیرکمون

و نیزه و منجنیق فرستادی تا دیگه ملت از این غلطها نکنن؟ تو همونی نیستی که

" سپاه حامیان رکود بی دینی " رو ایجاد کرد تا هروقت نیاز بود، پاچه ی ملت رو به

دندون بگیرن؟ نامرد ما حالا فهمیدیم تو همونی هستی که سربازهات زمانی که

کارگرهای کارخونه ی" قند سازی هشت کوه " به خاطر نونی که نداشتن بخورن

تجمع صنفی کرده بودن رو خفه کردن! و بد تر از اون کارگرهای چرخ سازی " بنیان

لاستیک " بودن که از گشنگی داشتن هم دیگه رو میخوردن، تو هم دادی چوب و

فلکشون کنن! بی معرفت، آخه خودتون توی قانون اساسی مستبدانه تون گفته

بودین تجمع صنفی بدون حمل سلاح آزاده، اون کارگرهای بیچاره هم باور کرده

بودن دولت دیکتاتور شما به قانون پایبنده، ای خدا لعنتت کنه!

تاریخ، به ما فهمونده که بابای تو همونه که وقتی میخواست علیه مادها قیام کنه،

به ملت وعده ی آب و برق مجانی داد! سی سال بعد، شهردار تخت جمشید

وقتی میخواست همه کاره بشه، حرف از پول نفت هم زد! توی کتاب تاریخمون

خوندم که مردم، اون موقعها یه شعری رو میخوندن به این مضمون ( از بی ادبی

شعرای باستانی عذر میخوام!):

" کو آب و برق مفتی؟

کو پول نفت که گفتی؟

هرگز نخورده ملت

ک...ی به این کلفتی! "

ما توی کتاب تاریخمون خوندیم که تو " وزارت گمنامان " رو ایجاد کردی و بهشون

ماموریت دادی که سر مخالفین رو بکنن زیر آب! مثل " داریوش " و

" پروانه "! تو اینقدر بی وجدان بودی که اکبر بدبخت توی زندونت از اعتصاب غذا

مرد! زهرا ی بد بخت معلوم نشد سرشو به کجا کوبیدید که مرد! اون زهرا رو

معلوم نشد توی بازداشتگاه هگمتانه چیکارش کردن که مرگ رو به زندگی ترجیح

داد! احمد بیچاره رو به خاطر یه پیرهن خونی از هستی ساقط کردی! اون نمرد، اما

زندانیه در عین آزادی!

تو مستکبر مردی و نامت به سیاهی توی کتابها ثبت شده، اما خبر نداشتی که

دوهزار و پونصد سال بعد از تو، توی این مملکت، حکومتی میاد روی کار که امید

همه ی ملتهای مستضعف، خصوصا ایرانیهای رنج کشیده است! نظامی قدرت رو

به دست میگیره که بر خلاف توی مستبد، برای اولین بار در جهان، منشور حقوقو

بشر رو تدوین میکنه و برابری انسانها رو به رسمیت میشناسه! رژیمی که با وجود

امثال تو در دنیا، و با همه ی کارشکنی هاشون ( خصوصا اینکه قیمت گوجه فرنگی

رو به 2500 تومن میرسونن )، نمیذاره مردمش کوچکترین آزاری ببینن و بر خلاف تو

که بیت المال کشور رو به کشورهای در پیتی مثل جیبوتی و گامبیا و فلسطین و

زیمبابوه و سریلانکا و کوبا و بولیوی و فلسطین و عراق و سوریه لبنان بذل و

بخشش میکردی، اون رو برای اجرای پروژه های زیربنایی سرمایه گذلری میکنه،

چون بر خلاف تو معتقده نسلهای آینده هم از این سرمایه سهم دارن! به جای

اینکه مثل تو احمق، با دنیا سر غنی سازی اورانیوم دعوا کنه تا سه تا قطعنامه

تحریم علیهش تصویب کنن، سیاست گفتگو رو انجام میده! به جای اینکه توی

کشورهای دیگه اعمال خشونت کنه، به رفاه مردمش توجه میکنه! به جای اینکه

مثل شهردار سابق تخت جمشید از مدیریت جهانی دم بزنن، مثل شهردار سابق

تهران از رسوندن تورم به صفر صحبت میکنه! ای خدا لعنتت کنه! خدا رو شکر که از

زیر ستم تو بیرون اومدیم. حالا دارم معنی این شعر رو با تمام وجودم احساس

میکنم که:

آید ندایی آرام از پشت سنگ خارا

ما انقلاب کردبم یا انقلاب ما را؟

my first rxn

by dokht-e-Iran (not verified) on

I read this article and my first thought was: here we go again, Hoder on his high horse, pushing buttons. I don't have any problem with criticism and I think it is necessary for our growth but Hoder, I think very much intentionally, likes to be insulting to make his points. I've read Satrapi's book and seen her movie. She's basically told my life story and I told her so when I saw her after her talk here in a local university. Hoder is younger than us (I think) and does not remember the chaos right after the revolution. I am totally aware that this story does not reflect necessarily everyone's growing up and experiences in Iran but I don't think Marjane ever claimed that it did. It's her life story and for that alone is worthy of telling and hearing (or seeing). and for my money, she has told it really well.
As for its use in Bush's propaganda machine, isn't that our collective responsibility to not let it be misused?

The great thing about her work is her minimal use of words and excellent drawings that creates enormously sympathetic and genuine characters.
Hoder; Instead of criticizing this graphic novel with your baseless facts, you should appreciate this work of art and learn something from it.

To all those who

To all those who Islamist/leftist who continue to exploit class wars between Iranians:

**Being poor does not automatically make you moral, wise, humane, ethical, kind, generous, non-tyrannical, or any other positive attributes.

Iranian religious poor are very similar to Jacobins in the French revolution who brought the reign of terror to France. The Iranian Jacobins (tyrannical mob) are now the ruling elite and they will have the same fate as the Jacobins sooner or later.

On the definition of Jacobins:

Here's a gentle reminder that unlike your articles that bore the reader within 3 paragraphs (that's where i stopped) she managed to captivate an audience for two hours so please write something worthy first, get people to believe in it enough to make it into a movie then zegh zegh bezan.

Dude....is there anything anyone does that you agree with?

Dear Hoder

by Abarmard on

I disagree with you based on these points:

-Satrapi wrote this story based on her own life, not yours and the rest that you like them to be represented here

-The early stages (not to mention the rest) of the revolution was scary. Specially from a woman point of view. I have three sisters and a mother and know very well how they felt

-The film makes Iranian look normal, unlike what you say, the film shows that Iran is a multi cultural society that has different layers of social characters. Similar to any European (or anywhere else) country.

-Europeans have gone through hell in their own history. What this film shows is the human image/factor of the Iranians. This film make many westerners bound with Iranians.

I think those films that are meant to demonize Iran, ends up demonizing the people of Iran. This is not one of those films. This makes those who don't know Iran care for the people of Iran and their cause.

Finally, as a character, I love, love Satrapi. I saw her when she was in town for a speech. From the looks of the audience, you would know that she has done her job well: To make Iranians look good, or simply human. The crowd was pleased to hear her and she defended the Iranian goals, and ask the audiences to go against warmongers. She, similar to many Iranians, believes that we the people can change the system. She is against any wars, and wants the western government to stop their pressure on the Iranian people with their sanctions and threats of war.

READ and PONDER !!!! Worry about YOUR OWN ACTION !!

Whoever is guided, is guided for his own good, and whoever goes astray
does so to his own detriment. No sinner will bear the sins of anyone else

~ Holy Quran17:15

No soul can carry the sins of another soul.
If a soul that is loaded with sins implores another to bear part of its load,
no other soul can carry any part of it, even if they were related.

~ Holy Quran 35:18

Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty.

~Bahaullah

Say: Let truthfulness and courtesy be your adorning. Suffer not
yourselves to be deprived of the robe of forbearance and justice.

You cannot break the miror

by Troneg on

What she says is truth. You should read her books there are more complete than the movie.

If you don't like the picture (Tasvire) she gives from Iran, the solution is not breaking the miror. As somebody else told Truth hurts but ir is the TRUTH.

"Doganegi" is coming from you who try to hide IRI crimes by Bush's crimes !

Don't insult our intelligence.

Satrapi Has entered Film History deservingly

by Darius Kadivar on

She is now part of our Cinema Heritage and we can truly be proud of her achievement done WITHOUT Anyone's help. Since her publication in a small unknown French publisher called l'Association to the Red Carpet at Cannes. She did it ALL ALONE with the help for the film of another director VIncent Parronaud.

VIVE MARJANE and VIVE LE CINEMA !

True life story of millions of other Iranians

by Iran and Iranian (not verified) on

It is her story. It is her life story. It is my life story and true life story of millions of other Iranians who after 1979’s mass faith manipulation witnessed death over life, black instead of color, darkness over light, savagery instead of law and order, cruelty over kindness, hate instead of love, blood over pardon, injustice instead of justice, inequality over equality, grimy instead of neatness, misery over fun, gun instead of book, frown over smile, fist and baton instead of dialogue, and I can go on for days and days.

Marjane‘s story is just the beginning and you have a lot more to see. Stay tuned.

Millions of real lives under black/brown Islamic cape have been shredded into pieces, however, they are alive and kicking. They will never cease their existence and their real life stories will be told.

Iranians do not lash; they use pen.

This massive Iranian and Iranian cultural genocide attempt will never and ever be forgotten.

Hoder What are you?

by Mehran-001 (not verified) on

I am not surprised that you could come up with such nonsense, it is just the type of person you are. What Majan said in her book and movie is exactly what is happening in Iran. A bunch low life and uneducated characters ended up in high places. Where is the lie in that?


Bahram the Iranian

the movie most watched by Iranians

by Bahram the Iranian on

Give it a minute and make search to see which movei was that one?Mr Hossen would know, no need for hint. Mr Hoder why dont you write a brief summary on it?there are many amny more stories untold in Iran.she of course tells her own but by no mean present Iranians as whole.

Satrapi is OK

by Ari Siletz on

At an event a couple of weeks ago in san Francisco,some audience members tried to get Satrapi to make exaggerated anti-Iran statements. She refused. Someone asked her if she is worried about her parents in Iran being punished for her works. She said, "It has been a long time since people have been held responsible for what their family memebers are doing. My parents are fine and they say 'hello.'"

In the movie Persepolis, Satrapi criticizes not only Iranian society, but Europe as well. She warns the whole world that what happened in Iran was not a result of who Iranians are, but due to a global crisis caused by the modern search for identity and meaning.

Certainly there are political forces who benefit from promoting Satrapi's work. But the artist herself is doing what any good artist would do: communicate a truth. Here's my full review of Persepolis on this site. //iranian.com/main/2007/no-nonsense-revol...
