match point

- "The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn't and you lose."
( Match Point - Woody Allen - 2005)

- There is a scene in which Chris Wilton keenly unfolds his mobile phone to call Nola but when he hears her voice saying "hello?" his face gets transfigured. She is still wandering when he slowly brings his hand down and folds the mobile.
...
And I loved the bitterness.

gone ...


After all , I managed to watch the popular clip : "zolf bar baad" ...
The clip is devoted to Zahra Amir Ebahimi , the Iranian actress who is supposed to have had harsh days after some scenes of her very private life went in public.
… I managed to watch it and I did love the song but I felt no sympathy with that visual narrative. There is rarely an artistic relevance between what you see and that surpassing musical performance.
I'd like to believe that creating such a clip was not up to Mohsen Namjoo the composer , according to Namjoo in RadioZamaneh . He says the mood streaming in the clip is totally distinct from what he calls his " inner feeling" while composing this song .

Taste !


People change but not necessarily through pleasant manners. I actually prefer some of our great film makers in their old style. Possibly because of my eagerness and my deep nostalgia for "Lost Days", or because of my sense of beauty that has been exercised with particular themes. Any how, I can say by sure that I don’t get much of for example Abbass Kiarosstami recent films .I'd like to name "the traveller " as his masterpiece …

O God
may our parents
and teachers
be pleased with us
and guide our steps

You are going to Tehran with 5 Tomans !?
