Kouroshkhan: A Jester Un Employed is Nobody's Fool ...

by Darius Kadivar on

Actors are citizens like everybody else and concerned. They are neither superior or inferior but have the advantage of being in the public eye and can help draw attention on issues of concern to us all since Tragedy and Comedy is their craft. Yes I definitvely think that they can help in terms of also draw the international media to regard a "people" AS a "people" and not unidentified objects to be bombed or wiped out in total indifference. That makes their relative power and at the same time their fragility for if the cause is weak then they are also blamed even more harshly than politicians. It was Hollywood that reacted against the imprisonment of the Hollywood Ten during the Black List of Senator MCarthey. Actors playing gangsters, comics playing fools or sexy femmes fatals: like Humphry Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Danny Kaye to name a few reacted for civil rights

 

and later during the Black civil rights mouvment crusaded by Martin Luther King with such people often at odds in the political sphere but united on a common cause for freedom like Charlton Heston ( Before becoming head of the American Rifle Association) Marlon Brando and Syndey Poitier to name a few. AND IT WORKED !

I'm ready to take ALL THE BLAME otherwise if it suits you:

I don't say that artists In Iran have to do anything or take part if they feel in danger or indifferent but I definitively DO think that the Iranian Diaspora has this oppurtunity to use it and in particular in America where it has been a real tradition for all minorities to stand out for their rights. Today its the turn of Iranians and Middle Easterners to stand out on universal values.

All I am saying is that it will not hurt to TRY. Not Trying however will definitively NOT Help, change or retrieve anything from the current mess we are in anyways, so what have we got to lose? I ask YOU !

Now if you think that all I am saying here is to indulge in self esteem and narcism you are wrong for I rarely speak of myself but others in the public eye. I try to do my best to generate ideas and like any intellectual ( a term I respect despite the bad reputation it got amongst our Iranian intellegenstia as "AAN TELLECTUAL") is to ask questions, I do not always have the answers.

 So if you have another solution fine I am sure I and many others would be happy to hear you. What else do you want me to say other than wishing you :

Good Night and Good Luck

I understand that you have spent your entire life dealing with arts and artistic matters and promoting artists, But the solution to the predicament that our fellow iranians are in today, is not the exchange of few athletes and actors between the two nations. You are really going too far with this.
How is an entire nation going to benefit by having a few actors in hollywood? how is that solving our economic problems back home? \let's

say that is a first step toward a possible
And a very distant,rosey future, so that maybe someday, something gives and iran and USA are back on the friendship trailFine. StillDon't you think that expect for the actors and their agents and promoters, The real and direct beneficiaries, everybody else will play the role of a Bystandard and a mere observer?

You really've got
have some nerves calling people lazy and nagative without knowing how exactly everyone feels.

Jaleho Strange ?

by Darius Kadivar on

OK Jaleho Granted, You want me to say you are right. Fine. Great, You are right about Silicon Breast and Tehrangeles or Toronto West Toxicated Iranians with no connection to Iran's Realities or the Arts Community.

So Smart Ass what do you suggest ? What solution do you have for brigning Iranians together apart from complaining and accusing us of being Neo Con and Zio Fascists monarchists living in nostalgia. What do you suggest for the our great Iranian artists trying to bridge Iran and America when YOUR GOVERNMENT Refuses to acknowledge them or their ART in Iran :

What should we do to convince you NOT to hate us and refuse our help even when we try and pave them the way by helping them ?

NOOR Lights your way to Hollywood! By Darius KADIVAR

 

I guess we have to just let go and have NEGATIVE and LAZY People Like You who are not even ready to move a finger for the predicament of their fellow Iranians to speak in their names ?

 

Why do you bother even writing and using this forum or thread to express such negativity and hatred for people you don't even know ? Go back to Iran work and live there if it is not the case and don't bother communicating with your brother and sisters in the Diaspora. How Old are you anyway ?

 

 

 

What a HAM !

I find it very strange!

by Jaleho on

The brave Iranian women inside Iran now excel in arts, cinema, literature and science at the same time that they fight for their rights, many of whom like a lioness.

But, on Iranian.com you see some sold out neocon whores, porn stars, or some sex toys presented as Iranisn women heroines!!

Stranger than that, you see some people who just can not stop living in their pathetic nostalgic dreams of some pretty or influential women of 40 years ago!! Videos of "Her Majesty" or "Googoosh", now old hags, as what "great" Iran used to be, how pretty and WESTERN!!!

The depth of shallowness is mind-boggling :-)

 

I know, I know the answer, velesh baba, gheresh bedeh....
