Caviare commie generation

by Farah Rusta on

Her Majesty came from as awll as patronized a generation of Iranian artists, writers and intellectuals who were broadly Francophiles with mild to medium left leanings. While there is absolutely no problem with being a leftist intellectual or artist per se, it became an issue when the so called caviare  commies, having tasted and enjoyed their share of the "royal caviar" in other words having being appointed to the key positions that could influence the public opinion, they worked aganist the very institution with which they had chosen to be  bed fellows. Her Majesty's cousin, Mr Qotbi, was generously instrumental in shaping and executing this process. Our opportunist caviare commies were neither dedicated to their original cause, otherwise they wouldn't have jumped in bed with a "capitalist monarchical system", nor were they committed to their newly adopted "system". So when the false prophet called for the removal of the monarchy they saw that as another opportunity to and did their best to speed up the downfall.

To answer your question Ben, I would say I'd rather taste genuine American culture (even if it is sponsored by GWB) than one which a quasi-Iranian import.

In France, it used to be called 'Caviar Left'. I'm not sure it's still a valid term because lots of things has changed in France since. The presidency of Sarkozy in itself is a sort of revolution for France. But I think it's a valid term.

It's very widespread in France and all around Europe. I guess it is a transformation of their aristocratic class. Lots of good things comes out of them in cultural domain. All those art festivals and public expenditure for cultural life of people in Europe generally is the work of 'Caviar Left'.

If I only had a choice between a 'Caviar Left' and, say, George Bush for political decision making, I'd picked George Bush without blinking. But would you pick George Bush for cultural activities Farah?!

Her Majesty has always been the darling of the Left. So what is all this fuss about?

Who is the interviewer? Need background pls! Farah has always

by obama on

been a lady, even though I don't care for pahlavi dynasty and don't wish them to come back. Still they were much better than what we have.

Somehow I always thought that she didn't know what was happenning with savak or there was nothing she could do, if she knew. Unless, I learn more about her, i am not going to judge her or disrespect her!

What is wrong with some of you guys? if you hate her, that's fine, but why are using volgur language? That's very rude! you can always respectfully disagree!

why isn't any background about this video and the interviewer?

All the noise because H.M.Reza Pahlavi II, matters to the nation

by yada yada yada on

We have the Pahlavis, and we 're very proud of them, and whatever they have done for our country. Whom do you people have? Absolutely no @#$% one. If The Prince is as irrelevant as you losers claim to be, then what are all these blogs against him being posted by a handful of you bacheh refugees?

Mola, you're a despicable and vile pig

by Free on

If you had watched this documentary, you would know that Her Majesty has never even considered the idea of another man in her life. She's a regal, honorable woman, which is much more than I can say about your mother. Just like your Mullah masters, all you perverts think about is below the belt. You savages belong in Karbala, not Iran.

Qom is the Remnant and Refuge of our Arab Invaders

Puzzling indeed. It's a 'high society' thing frozen in her mind. For her age, I personally don't expect any change. Nonetheless, puzzling.

very puzzling

by dhhcfo on

GS....

What is the point of this video?  Who is this lady?  As much as I admire Shabanoo and Aryamehr;  is this mean that if we have a beautiful house with eye catching furnishing, she will come and visit us?  I am very puzzeled with this posting.

We have a very lovely house with close proximity to where she lives in America, can we invite her for afternoon tea or better yet for dinner? We will be honored.

I remember before the akhoonds ruined iran, she would come to small towns, including ahvaz, where we lived.....without bodyguards in the middle of people....everyone loved her.....

 I dare these dirty akhoonds to do the same!.....if they go out without their army of bodyguards or bullet proof cars, they'll be torn to pieces....that's how popular they are

Great Shahbanou Farah

by Elisenda on

I'm not Iranian. I watched the documentary two months ago. In my opinion Empress Farah emerges as a very clever, inteligent woman. It doesn't matter the backgrounds of Mrs. Nahid Persson. I believe she has tried to understand and approach to a person that she, Mrs. Persson, hated in the past only because was the Queen and was in power. One lesson is that is not necessary to hate someone only because she/he has a higher position. Secondly, that many things made by the Queen were totaly justified.

Shahbanou Farah shows and appears as a great Empress. Iran lost its greatest Queen has ever had.

Good movie

by John on

The entire movie is very interesting and I, a non-Iranian, found it extremely enlightening.  I realize that Farah is a controversial figure in some circles, with people perhaps either loving or hating her, but after seeing this movie I had a very positive feeling towards her;  not as a political figure, but as a woman.
