Unfortunately, to many Americans, Iran is represented by President Mahmoud prancing around with his followers who hold vials of uranium. Or else it is known for its fluffy white Persian cats. Sorry to burst the bubbles of cat lovers, but Persian cats do not come from Iran. Trust me, there is no way they could stay that white for any longer than a minute.

Nationalist Turks have not forgiven Mr. Pamuk for an interview with a Swiss magazine in 2005 in which he denounced the mass killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in World War I and the killing of Kurds by Turkey in the 1980’s.



Why did Elie, a Holocaust survivor, protest Ahmadinejad's presence in N.Y.?

Wished those who deny Holocaust would have the time to repent,

Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith for ever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprive me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust, Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never

Movie Review

The Queen
Stephen Frears Psychoanalyses of a Royal presence


By Darius KADIVAR



I highly recommend the Bio Epic THE QUEEN by Stephen Frears ( The Dangerous Liasons) starring Dame Helen Mirren in the title role and Michale Sheen as PM tony Blaire.

If the Brits are good at anything since the times of William Shakespeare it is to psychoanalyse their historical figures and history in the most honest way possible. Often it should be say with little self indulgence so comman in many Hollywood films depicting the heroic attitude of their presidents or famous personalities of the Arts. No one better than Shakepeare understood the flaws of English society and drew a more accurate portay of its King and Queens be them tyrants like Elisabeth II's ancestor the cruel King Henry VIII or the glorious reign of Queen Elisabeth the First who modernized the British Navy and State as no man preceding her reign.

Documentary

Her name has become synonymous with the French monarchy and all its excesses, but there is more to the story of Marie Antoinette than the simplistic tale of how a frivolous sovereign helped provoke the uprising that became the French Revolution. She was, in fact, a tender-hearted, complex woman, whose tragic awakening came too late to save her from the guillotine.

Without losing sight of the dire inequities in 18th century France, the film paints a surprising portrait in which Marie Antoinette emerges as a sympathetic and, in the end, courageous figure. The two-hour film traces her journey from the splendors of her childhood in the palaces of the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire to her final hours in a squalid French prison cell. To tell the story of Marie Antoinette is to relive the great revolution that unleashed the forces that shaped our modern world.

SOON ON LONDON STAGE : The cult of The Sound of Music

As Andrew Lloyd Webber tries to find his Maria for a West End revival, why does this slice of camp continue to have such a profound grip over so many people?

It's based on a true story. It's got children. Scenery. Singing nuns. It's even got Nazis. Little wonder The Sound of Music is one of a select group of films with both mass appeal and an enthusiastic cult following.

The Sound of Music is the epitome of chirpy optimism and innocence. Even though the central element of the plot is a middle-aged man trying to pull a young nun, it's regarded as the height of wholesomeness.
