What sad news! It may be inevitable, but what a
pity it is to see those who showed true art in cinema leave us one by one,
while others, whose goal is only to make a “block buster”, increase in number.
Maybe this has to do with supply and demand, or maybe money has bought everything,
even the art. Thank you for this informative post, Darius-jan.

Sad to hear An Iranophile C. Pinoteau Passed Away

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

The mullahs actively helped the USA to reach USA's Nefarious aims for Iran and out of their ignorance Akhoonds continue to help  the US Government who's aim it is to steal the dreams of Iranians away.  So far the mullahs have only achieved stealing peoples Freedom and Justice with US help, yet both Americans and Mullahs are starting to receive resistance from Iranians having their dreams torn away in their enslaved state.  Awareness of Iranians situation is the most important objective any Iranian can reach in conversation and communication with a fellow Iranian.  While the USA loves Islamic extremism for Iran, it must not be allowed to deceive most iranians regarding the USA's active desire to use extremism to steal Iranian Dreams and in doing so achieve its own interests at the expense of iranians.
