Iran Military Forum

There is a new anti-revolutionary feature which will soon be released.

I saw the preview for it today and its memory will not soon be forgotten.

I am not sure if I should even say the name of the film.

Just know that it goes above and beyond any past film, in its false depiction of Iran.

I suppose we will just have to divine the name I suppose...

Oh wait a second, you mean "The Coming Is Upon Us".

No sir

Wow, such an insidious film.
A film, so very, very insidious, it can't even be referred to in the thread that's about it.
How very... insidious...

Hm, I'm not sure if that was a trailer or soft core porn.

Perhaps not the most tasteful way of communicating their message, but I think most people here are mature enough to not have their views so heavily influenced by such works of fiction. I just hope their "bad guys" aren't as insipidly 1D as the synopsis implies.

Do you think they make some of these films with the hope of "leaking" them to young, impressionable Iranians? Or is that looking for a conspiracy?

Admittedly the plot sounds very hot.

it probably/ obviously wasn't recorded in iran, therefore i don't care for it

however, if they made a film about a lesbian couple in Iran, i'd be watching it.

So they made another propaganda piece on Iran, who cares. This one will be shown at various independent film events and festivals globally, arenas where real Iranian filmmakers are quite successful in showing a more balanced view of the country.

Golshifteh is an actress only and as such not very influential. She faded away as soon as she left the Iranian cinema...

I am not as confident as you in Iranian film people.

I think most of them are ideologically dubious. Look at Golshifteh. Only now do we know the extent of her deviation.

Unfortunately, many such girls exist in iran. Once they get the chance to leave Iran, either permanently or on visits, than all IRI stands for is gone. Islamic values​​. There are quite a surprise, unfortunately. Iranian girls, and well as boys, teachers from 1.class about the  Islamic Revolution and Islam in general. But it does not seem as if they care at all. When these IRI citiziens get their chance to leave Iran, they are beginning to show their true behavior (immoral behavior), from the Islamic point of view. Okay, hate the  government,  but keep at least your religion?

Why do you think everyone in Europe loves Iranian women?

The only reason that they are like them, according to the Europeans.  culture and morality. Wtf?

Islamic Republic of Iran must seriously do something.

Guys, you can't blame the Iranian opposition for not making any pro-revolution films. Naturally the IRI funds and promotes such projects but it has so far not managed to do so successfully on an international level. Iranian cinema does however have a few brilliant filmmakers.

^ and those are just some that I have seen and enjoyed. There is of course much more!

So you're saying the parents of the girl who played hazrate Maryam in the hazrate Maryam series were allowing her to be showcased?

Since when was it against shar' to be an actress?

Its not, but wisdom tells you that the environment of theater and cinema (whether in Iran or any other place) historically is not the best environment to send your daughters to! 
Also just because you play the role of hazrat Maryam it doesnt mean that the environment you work in with other actors is healthy and pure.

As a student in the west Mayday, you would know about unhealthy environment as well. So, quick, drop out before all that pot smoking, alcohol drinking and you know what else gets to you!

Perhaps it is what you make of it. Most people start their acting careers in theaters and that is a very serious environment full of talented people. Again, I provided you a list of great works of art above and I don't see how you can generalize like you do.

As you know mingling socially in the academic environment hampers your success as it is hard work and pure academics that propel you not the social aspect of it, so all the corruption around you does not effect your success, so anyone can easily just avoid it and increase their chances of being successful. One does not get their PhDs by attending parties!  But it is entirely different for the Theater/Cinema environment where you have to mingle socially in order to be successful. I am not taking out of my butt on this, In fact I have a close relative who is in the theater area in Iran and I see first hand that mingling socially (alcohol and parties and etc. )is part of the business and without it you cant move forward and become an outcast no matter how much talent you have. This is becoming a reality in Iran especially in the recent years. You know the social mingling of hollywood actors/actresses and their parties in the west, I need not to say more. Unfortunately Iran is moving in the same direction.  Now if you have a daughter and you know that the social mingling behind the scenes is part of the business would you encourage her to enter such environment?

regarding the films you mentioned, what does that have to do with the corruption behind the scenes?  My point is that the cinema/theater sector behind the scenes is not a healthy environment so one should not expect that there are a lot of honest to goodness people in such environment.
