Echoes of Spain's civil war in Syria's merciless conflict

Echoes of Spain's civil war in Syria's merciless conflict

Dear Red Wine:

If anything, Iran is "culturally" one of the ripest countries in the world for a revolution. In Iran of today, there is an upper class which is not happy with the rampant cronyism and favoritism, a middle class which sees its hard work has only brought wealth to the chosen few while at the same time its educated sons and daughters are unemployed, and the poor lower class which is ready to take to the streets and demand a fair share of Iran's national wealth. Add to that the lack of much desired social and political freedoms and you have the best "cultural" prerequisites for a revolution.

Dear Red wine, Well if

Dear Red wine,

Well if people aren't ready for democracy yet (because of cultural and religion problems as you said), no matter the system they choose they will build a non-democratic country and perhaps have a "banana republic" like many others around the globe. Being ready is the key for both system to work correctly....

 80% of republics on earth aren't democratic,i can't understand this false idea that lots iranians have in mind that just because its a republic its safer and give more garantee for a true democracy ! but i know its a very commun thought and well spread in our society!

will we see what our compatriots will do in the future....just hoping they will do better than they did in 79 cause we all suffered too much for nothing!

Cheers :)

Look forward 2 c it. Hope Golshifteh plays in many more movies.

Everything is sacred

 Dear Shemirani...

I do not think what happens in Spain happened in Iran. The Spanish people have sacrificed a lot for democracy and the war has produced  because  they not want the King. General Franco won the war with much help from the Germans and a well-made plan but never had the support of the people. people wanted bread, not the King!

Juan Carlos is a good man, wise and intelligent, he has managed to create democracy in a healthy way and has managed to create a healthy link between royalty and people. in Iran can not see that because the Iranians still have cultural and religious problems. is difficult to see democracy in a form with a monarchical power.

Je profite pour vous remercier des blog culturel que je suis depuis longtemps c'est très instructif.....Wanted to thank you for your cultural blogs for so long in this site, its one of the main reason i enjoy visiting iranian.com !!

Can't wait to see the movie with Golshifteh, great iranian actress !!!

and the topic of the movie sounds interesting:

I wish Iran could follow Spain's example and built a great country like they did after Franco by choosing King Juan Carlos ! we have lots of similarities with them, if only iranians could read and observe more how people get out of dark days ! but many of them don't want to think too much and prefere an easy " copy paste" of the only system they know by living outboard ! i believe spain's system match more with who iranians are (and what they needs) than any other system !

اصل داستان واقعی‌ است اما گمان کنم که در حین سناریو نویسی بعضی‌ از مطالب خط خورده باشند و یا اضافه !

این از آن فیلمهاست که چند سال در موردش صحبت میشد و الان در اسپانیا این مساله مطرح هست که آیا این فیلم به حقایق آن دوره نزدیک است یا خیر !

در زمان جنگ داخلی اسپانیا، جمهوری خواهان مرتکب اشتباهاتی شدند که باعث شد از اهداف اصلی‌ خودشان دور شود،یکی‌ از این اشتباهات ادغام عقیدتی‌ آنان با چپ گرا‌ها و کمونیست‌ها بود،افرادی که مستقیماً از مسکو تغذیه میشدند و بسیار افراطی بودند،اشتباه دیگر آنان قتل عام کشیشان کاتولیک بود که با انجام این کار بسیار از مردم اسپانیا از آنان رویگردان شدند و به ژنرال فرانکو پیوستند،اسپانیا همیشه کشوری مذهبی‌ بوده است.

فیلم در اوایل ماه می به سینماها خواهد رفت و ما دیدن آن را به دوستان سفارش می‌کنیم،ما فیلم را زودتر خواهیم دید،احتمالا در فستیوال مالاگا-اسپانیا .

خیلی‌ ممنون داریوش جان :) .
