Dehnamaki: “The expelled”?, different portray of combatants”?

TEHRAN, (SCIB) - In an exclusive interview with the Shahed Information Cultural Base, director Masoud Dehnamaki called his latest film “The expelled”? a new trend of portraying warriors.

“Several factors were at work in the success of this film. The script, structure, directing and cast all contributed towards making this film a success. The film has a different structure and theme, even the acting is different”? Dehnamaki said. “Although there were events in the sideline of the film, the film basically deals with the reality of the front and history of war. I wanted to depict the people I knew during the war in a way that today’s generation could communicate with them.”? Exaggeration only repulses the viewer from Sacred Defense Cinema, Dehnamaki commented. “I wanted to move away from a stereotypical depiction of warriors as unattainable myths. ‘The dismissed’ is a new way of portraying warriors because it depicts them as tangible human beings”? he added. The script has been based upon the views of several people, the director states. “I have benefited from the viewpoints of at least 10 people in writing this script. Peyman Qasem Khani, Yousefali Mir Shakkak, Sa’eed Dowlat Khani were among people whose views were tapped into in this work. I would get advice from people with different worldviews, in order to attain an all-embracing look at the matter.”?
