Saudi Arabia brings Ronaldo, we want to filter Filimo!
Mustafa Danandeh
It was just a few years ago that whenever the name of Saudi Arabia was mentioned, the whole world was talking about Jamal Khashoggi. The journalist who was cut to pieces in the Saudi embassy in Türkiye as if he didn’t exist at all.
The same Saudi Arabia has now managed to change the views of itself thanks to the round ball and green football grass. The Saudi leaders came to the conclusion that by using prominent figures like Ronaldo and holding competitions like the Spanish and Italian Super Cups in Saudi Arabia, they can create a different country in the heart of the Middle East.
The presence of Ronaldo, who is definitely one of the top 5 footballers in history, sends the message to the world that Saudi Arabia is a good place to live, just like America or Europe.
They are looking to bring great football players to their country to complete this project. What America, Qatar and Japan have done before this. They did this for the credit of their country’s football, and Saudi Arabia to erase its dark past.
Compare this behavior with Iran’s behavior in previous areas that could change the world’s view of Iran. During the past years, the world media, especially the American ones, were trying to show Iran as a backward country that still lives in the Old Testament. But cinema, sports and especially football managed to change this view to some extent.
A person like Asghar Farhadi was able to show that Iran has undergone a great transformation by making films that showed the life of the middle class of Iran. The world saw Iran through his films. They walked in the cities and realized that Iranian people do not ride camels.
What did we do with him in Iran? His works were quickly labeled black. And a trend called revolutionism is trying to make people like Farhadi follow a different path for filmmaking.
Iran could easily introduce itself to the world without spending millions of dollars and show that it is a different country in the heart of the Middle East.
But a current in the country is trying to show the way out to all those who can play this role and introduce a different face of Iran.
The social distance of today’s Iran started when this political faction came to power and tried to remove all those who do not think like him from the scene.
It is enough to compare radio and television 10 or 20 years ago to today. Look at the same cinema, there is no more news of the likes of Bahram Beizai. They are constantly complaining about not negotiating, closing the Strait of Hormuz, and removing influential figures, and they are trying to block the dialogue in the country.
See the new letter of the head of broadcasting about filmo filtering. A film that has been able to build an audience for itself during this time and according to the polls, it has even taken the place of satellite viewing. The solution of these men to solve the problems is only filtering and not seeing.
As the evidence suggests, it is difficult for the likes of Sedavasima to see the success of others. They just push their rock and don’t like to see other people’s success.
Which organization do you know in the world that so easily auctions off its funds and then seeks to destroy others? The head of the radio station writes that artists play in films instead of radio stations. Jebeli has simply admitted his inefficiency and writes that we are powerless against Philimo.
They want to compensate for the inability to compete by elimination. Not only are they not trying to improve the image of Iran outside the borders, but they are also trying to ruin the image of the country in the eyes of the people.
