Analysts’ view: the economy and the monster-making society
Mohsen Jalalpour, an economic activist and member of the Chamber of Commerce, wrote in a telegram note:
Mehran Moderi’s new series is the story of a teacher struggling in the swamp of inflation and negative economic growth and gradually getting caught in the trap of corruption and crony capitalism.
It is the story of a simple man whose financial abuse and corruption in the pension fund of educators destroyed his small savings and many economic problems reduced his table.
His financial situation is so bad that he is not able to buy his mother’s medicine and he cannot provide 10 million Tomans to renew the contract of his rented apartment.
Having lived a healthy and honorable life, he must decide to be a healthy, honest and honorable person, but lose his rented house and social class; or be satisfied with the moral fall and maintain the existing conditions or slightly improve them.
Hoshang Sharaft, whose healthy and moral life is considered his family’s brand and historical mark; Finally, Ton succumbs to this fall and we see the story of his drowning.
Mehran Moderi’s new series is the story of the last survivors of Sharaft generation who try to stay healthy, but they can’t.
A few things come to mind about this series:
First: I think the series is the most explicit in highlighting the effect of economic challenges on people’s lives.
Second: More clearly than other works of these years, it has revealed the deep corruption in the country.
Third: Although the family’s hard-hit economy from inflation and negative economic growth alone can bring about the downfall of a person; But one should not ignore the complications of today’s Iranian society. Complications that help a healthy teacher and a healthy person walk towards the slaughterhouse.
Fourth: The monster tries to show the existence of a bad balance in today’s Iranian society. It seems that the benefit of many people lies in the existence of these filth and this bad balance contaminates everyone together.
Hoshang Sharaft who can escape from this slaughterhouse; But due to his young daughter’s teasing, his wife’s demands and his mother’s implicit approval, he steps towards the slaughterhouse.
Fifth: I have written many times that the current conditions of the country are not ready for healthy economic activity, and the monster series also contains the message that a healthy person cannot survive in today’s Iranian society.
Sixth: In Mehran Madiuri’s monster, a collection of all kinds of corruption – from financial to moral – has been exhibited, and I think it has been able to show the evils of tyvalism and crony capitalism better than any other movie or series.
5th: Monster is more than a well-made series or an appreciable work of art in the case of Mehran Moderi, it is a bold explanation of the conditions of our society today, which makes me curious to see its end.
