Can't think of any better

Really! Humor, story, visual appeal, voices...didn't even think this kind of energy was possible in today's Iran. Humbled!

Artists are the Genuine Court Jesters of Our Times

by Darius Kadivar on Thu Mar 31, 2011 04:22 AM PDT

They are the ambassadors of the voiceless who can open the Eyes and Ears of the leaders by telling them the blunt Truth without fearing their wrath:

 

The Court Jester ( Danny Kaye)             Often a tale, a poem a witty Joke is more efficient than a long boring speech to make one's point.       The Enlightment philosophers like Voltaire, Montesquieu or Rousseau often would rely on what they called "Les Contes Philosophiques" to make serious political statements but in a way that at first glance it appeared as harmless and childish yet they were far more subversive than meets the eye. Like in Voltaire's Candid:   Voltaire, Candide - Les thèmes du mal et de la Providence

  or Voltaire's Zadig ( set in Safavid Persia) : Zadig de Voltaire

or Montesquieu Lettes Persanes : Lettres persanes - Montesquieu

  Our own Persian Oral tales follows the same tradition !   Keeping a so called Childish outlook on Life and particularly politics is actually a Virtue. I think ultimately that is what a genuine intellectual is as opposed to an ANN TELECTUAL ...       One who can mock the Powerful while making mature, and thoughtful statements which at first glance may appear the contrary. Even include innocent Erotic undertones without being shocking for a younger audience.   It's more than just Cheap Farce ... It's far more well thought out and cerebral than meets the eye or ears ... Either way BRAVO !   DK a Danny Kaye Fan                 Related Blogs:

GORGEOUS!

 I had stopped watching those loosenonor didactic Iranian cartoons decades ago. This is so refreshing.

Why isn't the information about this film printed here? You know, voice-over  editors etc.. Or at least a website link.
