1. The title is self explanatory! I have watched Mohsen Namjoo documentary and quite impressed with one thing. He is from Mashhad (North east province in Iran), born in Torbat e jam but he doesn't recall much from there. He portraits people's opinion about him, especially I think his mom.
after seeing the documentary I came to undestandting how a person from quite small town in Iran, seemingly religious background turns to today's world. that is what I like about IR of Iran or should be slightly appriated. Before the revolution due to many superstitious people tend to stop their children from going to school, university or higher education, many mullas were saying that Shah's higher education is currpted.
Today, however, because technically Iran has a government known as IR (Islamic republic), no parents has excuse to stop their children from going to higher education.
As Mr. Namjoo's mother says:"...not sure how, but they[i.e. government] decided to allow the music is not taboo anymore when he[Mohsen Namjoo] was in grade 8. So, he went and bought his first se-tar and started to learn playing in local school was held on behalf of Ministry of Islamic guidance!"
see his documentary here.
2. I am just watching the move called 300. It has protraited Persians as demon and stronge looking people! However, in my opinion it is comic than anything else. Xerxes I is shown as gay, black guy, clean shaven!!:))
The army of Persians consists of Chinese, mostly arabs (or at least their closths are like desert peopel), Indians and black plus monsters and witches!!:)) The funny ones are known as special guard of the king of Persia, they look like a Ninja:)). They have Samurai sword and Chinese mask!
I think the voice of the singer who is also an Iranian, Azam Ali is most powerful item of the movie.
The movie gets too too epical! In the end of the movie the narrower himself becomes the head of Spartan army facing Persians to save the world from mistic and tryanny!HAHAH:))
