Golshifteh, A lion heart woman

Dear Shohreh,

Thanks for these informative interviews. I enjoyed both of these interviews, especially the 2nd part with General Aryanpoor. Something that caught my attention was General Aryanpoor's observation on the day of revolution. He said army basis were open to the public and army personels were inviting people to furnish themselves with weapons. Seems the whole process was pre-planed. Who was behind all those plans?

 To me,  Golshifteh naked photo shot is state of art. Most likely in the line of early work of Cezanne, and later on, work of Toulouse Lautrec.   It consists with predominate culture of art in France.

Unlike what Dr. Mehdi claimed the shot didn't have any political message. It was not even designed to be against IRI. That was NOT the way the photoghrapher wanted to communicate with his viewers. I am sure if Pas mal (the photographer) hears about political interpretation of the vieweres, he will laugh laudly.  The shot is only state of art and has been nominated to French oscar award.

       At the same time the naked photo shot promotes women's liberation in Iran. It benefits Iranian women rahter than hurting them. It serves interest the of Iranian women.  It serves the equality between men and women and social justice. 

Before this photo shot, Golshifteh was just simple actress, but now she is well respected and has higher social status. She proved to be a daughter of our nation. Now, she is in the heart of million Iranians who wants to see freedom in Iran.

Our love and our pray to Golshifteh, a brave Iranian woman.

Sincerely,

Siavash

P.S 

 Here is my bog about her.

راستش دروغ چرا؟ یک دقیقه اش هم گوش نکردم.  بیکارم و فقط به کامنت ها نگاه کردم.  راستش بخوای خیلی خسته شدم از بسکه ریشه یابی شدیم.  چطوره یه مدّتی به مَمِه فراهانی فکر نکنیم و به شومبول بابا دوستعلی بپردازیم.

تشکر

از طرف خودم و دکتر اکبر مهدی از همه هموطنان عزیزم سپاسگزارم

"دیگران"

شاید عکس خانم فراهانی با بدنی نحیف و دستهای مردانه ایرانیها را به فکر وادارد که ایرانیها هم حق دارند مثل ملل دیگر نظرات و شخصیت های متفاوت داشته باشند و بصورتهای مختلف افکار ایرانی را تحت تاثیر قرار دهند.بجای تمرکز کردن به عکس خانم فراهانی بهتر نیست به کارکنان سکس (جنده ها) که در کنار هر خیابانی در تهران به چشم میخورند فکر کنیم.  کسانی که ممکن هست هم تحصیلکرده باشند و خیلی ها هم متاهل.

کسانی که هر صبح در مسیر رفتن به کار یا مدرسه و عصر در هنگام برگشت با آنها برخورد میکنیم و آنها را دیگران میشماریم تا احساس آرامش کنیم.

جنده مثال کوچکی از مشکل

 اجتمائی یک ایرانیست که فهم آن، به قدرت آنالیز قوی احتیاج ندارد مادامی که آنها را دیگران لقب ندهم.

Vanaki jaan, I listened to the whole thing, in two parts. and don't think I'm the only one either, Souri,...

The good Dr.'s take is very comprehensive since he incorporates into his analysis not only a historical, anthropological aspect of this affair, but he' also able to distinguish between the private and the public sphere, and he's also asked very good questions.

Did you listen to the whole thing? Which part really got your attention?

از دوستان عزیز که کامنت گذاشتن سپاسگذارم

که یکنفر هم تا آخر مصاحبه حوصله نکرده گوش بده و این همه از مسائل مَمِه ای استقبال شده.  درود بر شما.

Dear Souri

You are most welcome my advise is free and about as valuable as its price :-) I also have stock market advise: sell high and buy low !!

Salmani , hate to break it to you like this but,

Dayee Jaan, and Islamic democracy are both just myths. They never really exist.

What does exist in reality are phenomenons such as this most excellent interview. A rather comprehensive analysis  by the good Dr., with thanks to  Ms. Assemi for her program. 

VPK,

Thanks for your advices. You might be right about my obsession, although I didn't talk about her, as much as other people did here. Still, you might have a point. Regardless, I was talking with Mr Mahdi, this time, not you :)

Responses

• Dear Siavash: It is obvious Salman is doing this to press your buttons :-) The best response is to ignore it. He does have a right to his posts as much as it is distasteful to both of us.
• Dear Souri: You may dissect this a million ways and it matters not. My advise is to give it up. You will not have a response that will satisfy you from IC. Why harping on this; just wastes your time and seems obsessive.

please NO ARABIC on this site

Seems some folks forget this is Iran.com NOT Arab.com

Thanks for paying attention to this important message.

Religion creates hypocrisy ( dualism- 2 ganegi)

it is not only Islam, Christianity, Judism makes people hypocrit as well.

     Those who were critical of shah for being friend of western world, when revolution took place they all ran to western world. One of them was Abbas Milani. Typical hypocrit.

Haji chants "death to America" and has American passport in his pocket. Some people are critical of Capitalism, but they don't want to live even one day under socialism. Hypocrisy hurts our nation big time.

با تشکر از شما و خانم شهره عاصمی

مصاحبه بسیار جالبی‌ بود. با تمام نظرات شما در مورد جامعه شناسی‌ ایرانی، موافقم.

در مورد رفتار خانم گلشیفته همه صحبت‌هایتان بسیار بجاست. سوالی‌ که
برای شما پیش آمده، تنها اینست که اگر برهنگی خانم گلشیفته در رابطه با کار
ایشون بوده، چرا از همه برهنه تر ایشون بوده؟ و چرا خیلی‌ سریع ، ایشون
این عکس خودش رو در صفحه فیس بوکش چاپ کرد؟

حق با شماست. اگر ایشون خودش به این صورت اینکارو نمیکرد، شاید هم ابعاد این موضوع آنطور در فضای مجازی ایرانی، بزرگ نمی‌شد.

به نظر من ، اینکار گلشیفته، فقط از روی بغض و حسد و نوعی انتقام گیری
از آقای فرهادی بود. گفته شده که در برنامه فستیوال فیلم (سیلور بیر) در
آلمان (فوریه ۲۰۱۱) که آقای فرهادی و گروهشون حضور داشتن، ایشان کوچترین
توجهی‌ به گلشیفته نکرده و در واقع به نوعی  بی‌ اعتنایی  در حد بی‌
احترامی کردند (؟)

تصور من اینه که گلشیفته، نه تنها از بردن جایزه آقای فرهادی (و به
اعتباری، سینمای ایران) خوشحال نشده، بلکه به طریقی خواسته که با این عمل
خودش، تمام توجه جهانی‌ رو از آقای فرهادی گرفته، و همچنین باعث خجالت
سینمای ایرانی بشه.

البته این نظر شخصی‌ خود  من هست.

با تشکر از شما و خانم شهره عاصمی، برای این مصاحبه بسیار ارزشمند.

بسم‌الله القاسم الجبارین

How is your boss Brother Daeejan Napolion? 

For an Islamic democracy

Salman, I think for once, you actually

answered yourself. Congrats.

خوب ما هم که همین را می‌‌گوییم.

چطورا است که وقتی‌ برادر اکبر مهدی این حرف را میگوید اشکالی ندارد بلی وقتی که سلمان می‌‌گوید همه میگوند مزخرف نگو.

For an Islamic democracy

Dr Mahdi

Please remember as an educated person one can not always blame own society for every shortcoming.

I did not watch to the end but in regard to honesty we must consider there are nearly 75 million people live in Iran therefore having diverse reactions to issues is normal.

Have a look at this article;

//www.guardian.co.uk/uk/shortcuts/2012/jan/25/how-honest-are-you

Our world has changed and this honesty in any form and shape has changed too.

Fairness and Equality in Justice

Very "Sensible" Analaysis ..... !

...

Regarding values

I have only listened to half of it. Very interesting about the repression of Iranian youth. He is definitely right about the reaction being mostly outside Iran. My opinion is we got a lot of big mouth hypocrites who sit on their high horses.

He is also right that many people advocate positions they do not practice. But we get it right here in America. For example most whites I know denounce racism. But they are very unhappy to see their kids go out with a black person.

Also right about the assumption of generalization. Putting meaning and turning her into the new representative of Iranian women. But what do you expect from people who are always talking about "Iranians are ...". Anyway very interesting, 

Excellent analysis.....

I have only listened to the 15 first minutes. What has been said in the first minutes, about our society, is very true. In fact, Mr Mahdi, didn't go deep enough to mention that this "do-ganegi" of our society, has started since the Arab's attack to the Iranians, some 1400 years ago.

I will listen to the rest of the video, later and maybe come back to adress my opinion.
