They all underestimated the power of reactionary forces and lost their power and lives.

Or you could just ignore my analyze and enjoy the show. I never had a chance to tell Mary I was in love with her and know she is in LA and I am sitting here in Oslo watching her cry.

[varzili]

The third level is the political one. Mary is a symbol for modern streams in an old culture trying to invigorate and refresh it by bringing some modern element to it. But the man is the symbol of the old culture convenient with is way. The girl underestimated the inertia and reluctance of the traditional patterns and is forced to leave the scene.

One could replace her with any with modern political ambitions from the west friendly modernist like Shah to the left wing Marxist modernist.

[varzili]

I discover different levels in it the more I watch it just like Persian poetry.

One level might be the gender level ,the girl has a flexible body and mind but the man is rigid, conservative and afraid to learn new movements. The girl knows that the notes may be different but there are things you could share with new movements and old ones. The man knows it as well but uses that knowledge in a very opportunistic way to step backward into his rigid but convenient pattern of life.

[varzili]

This is from a time when metaphoric communication was very popular.Back then I was 17 and a Marxist and in low with Mary Apic.Never met her but as sitting in her public.We have women with fire in them like Fourough Farokhzad and Mary is one of them.

These were some tens of artists who inject vitality and fire into the lifeless body of Iranian society. Do not forget that the country was in an intellectual crisis after the clash of political ambitions in 1332(1954).

My brother used to dance to this song just like Parviz Sayyad. We used to laugh so hard. He was so little back then. He's 29 now with kids!! I miss those days:(

[julian73de]

thank you very much 4 sharing. made me very emotional...zende bash

[stipendie]

Is she pervize sayyad? Cuz she is doing the dancing..

[farvahar7000]

No, I guess her name is Mery Apik (I'm not sure). The actor is Parviz Sayyad.

[kalmarman]

Quite right, her name is Mary Apik! Her Mother, Apik Yousefian, was also an actress!!

[hmt111]

Her arms are too thin.

[kalmarman]

I was just a kid when I saw this on iranian national TV, a good many years ago!!!

We laughed our heads off then!

I did laugh this time too, but only by my self.

Thank you very much for sharing!!!

[farvahar7000]

You are welcome!

I don't understand why you would say fuck the west. There are so many Persians living out of Iran because they didn't want to live there for many obvious reasons. Iran is a good country, its just the people who are running it that is the problem. The same goes for the USA. Its not a bad country, its the government that is the problem. You can't say fuck the west, because then you are saying fuck your people because they live here too.
