The State Department's hysterical animosity towards the MEK reminds many Iranians of the story of the late Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh who nationalised Iran's oil industry only to be toppled by a US-led coup in 1953. At that time, the CIA sponsored coup was seen by Iranians as an unjustified US intervention to keep Shah Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi in power, in spite of public detestation of his regime>>>

چند روز پیش وقتی در بین آرشیو موسیقی ام دنبال آهنگی می گشتم به ترانه مهمانی بهار هایده رسیدم. بعد به ذهنم رسید که در بین همه خواننده ها ما هیچ کس به اندازه هایده از بهار و عید و نوروز نخوانده و هیچ خواننده ای (حتی ویگن و پوران) به اندازه او برای ما تلقین کننده حس نوروزی نیست٬ بگذارید مثالهایش را برایتان بگوییم >>>

On the way to viewing Iranian Taboo the car radio program was about a 340 ton rock being dragged 60 miles to the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art. A surreal waste of effort, perhaps to make that very point! As it turns out, this extravagant expenditure of energy isn’t nearly as absurd as the efforts of the Islamic Republic to create terror and frustration for Iran’s Bahais. The difference is that while the artistic statement is a capricious waste, the Regime’s political statement is a malicious overexertion>>>
REALITY TV

To say that the “Shahs of Sunset” is “bad” would be a redundancy, given that it’s a so-called “reality show.” These days, even the most trusting television viewer knows there’s nothing “real” about reality TV. As Time magazine put it six years ago, “Quotes are manufactured, crushes and feuds constructed out of whole cloth, episodes planned in multi-act ‘storyboards’ before taping, scenes stitched together out of footage shot days apart.”>>>

“A Separation” is the story of a typical family going through normal life issues, a sentiment any culture would appreciate. The film is about the struggle of a mother wanting the best for her daughter, the struggle of a son taking care of his elderly father. These are the issues most Iranian American families are concerned with every day; kind, upstanding and respectful sentiments. Enter “Shah's of Sunset," produced by Ryan Seacrest. There we go again knocking ourselves down>>>

Woody Allen won the 2012 Academy award for the best original screenplay for ‘Midnight in Paris’ – His fourth Oscar. He outshined, among other nominees, Asghar Farhadi who was nominated for ‘A Separation.’ Storylines in the two movies are however, in some respects at least, similar. Allen’s may be even seen as a post-modern sequel to Farhadi’s. In both, life is complicated and unsatisfying, and there is that chimerical notion of another age or place beholden as golden and enchanted>>>

There is no doubt that there are many evils live in Iran but Farhadi decides to ignore them and glorify the decency, dignity, and honesty of Persian people. There are no subliminal messages of nationalism, racism, or patriotism in his movie. Farhadi illustrates the agony of life in Iran as most Iranians experience daily since there is no easy life for anybody. Most middle class and heartbrokenly lower class are used to deal with daily struggles for their ends meats>>>

همین مدت کوتاه در دست گرفتن جایزه اسکار هم افتخار بزرگی است. حالا دیگر کلکسیون جوایز جهانی فیلم جدائی تکمیل شده است. به امید تماشای فیلم های دیگری از فرهادی در آینده. یاد شعر کودکانه ای افتادم: گل همه رنگش خوبه! بچه زرنگش خوبه! همه شواهد نشان دهنده آن است که گلهای رنگارنگی را از این بچه زرنگ (فرهادی) در آینده شاهد خواهیم بود>>>

برخلاف فیلم بسیار ارزنده آقای فرهادی که مخاطب جهانی پیدا کرده پیام ایشان بعد از گرفتن جایزه اسکار میتواند فقط مخاطبین مشخص خود را جذب کند. بخشی ازآنها مخاطبین مرفه و نیمه مرفه ایرانی هستند چه در داخل و چه در سرتاسر جهان که از نظر فکری با فرهنگ سرمایه داری با شدت و ضعف اجین شده اند و بخش دیگر رضایت خاطر کسانی را برآورده میکند که در پی بهره برداری سیاسی از دادن جایزه اسکار میباشند.

SEPARATION

Why has this film drawn so much attention? Many Iranian and international film critics have pointed out that this film in particular and Farhadi’s films in general are preoccupied with ethical quandaries and the search for truth. Other critics have singled out Farhadi’s ability to present complex characters and the complexity of human relationships in general. No character is portrayed as entirely heroic or entirely evil. What are some of the key themes that Farhadi has singled out in "A Separation"?>>>

والنتین ما را با انتخابمان تنها میگذارد. دنیائی ناطق. بعد از دهه 1920 دیگر همه حراف شدند. کارگردان با کمک هنرپیشگان کاملاً مجربش این سئوال را برای همه مخاطبان سینما مطرح ساخته که مرز نو آوری های فنی و هنر کجاست. هر قدر کارگردانان بیشتر از تکنوژی های نوین استفاده بیشتری بکنند بهتر می توانند نقایص خلاقیت های خود را بپوشانند. شاید بتوان در فیلم های انیمیشن، هنرپیشه ای درست مثل جورج والنتین ساخت که حتی بهتر از وی برقصد>>>

‘A Separation’ is both modern and feminist. Farhadi’s endearing characters however, are neither. The film is modern in the way it takes responsibility off the shoulders of family, community, society, government, and foreign or supernatural powers, and smacks it squarely on the forehead of the individual – a cultural coup d’état for Iranians. In ‘A Separation’, it is the individual who makes – or, can make – bad choices, and it is mostly the individual who pays for the choices made – victimhood is discounted>>>
