Musavi and Karroubi are under house arrest and say something every once in a while. Not that it really matters. Makhmalbaf is living outside of Iran getting paid to make movies. Apples and oranges.
Apples and oranges indeed !!
Two were suppose to be the leaders of the movement, third one ( khatami) is the poster boy for Eslahat and this man ( Makhmalbaf) a movie director.
The first 3 kept mostly quiet right from beginning while some others did at least spoke up earlier.
The first 3 , although in Iran have much deeper roots and ties in the regime which have kept them relatively safe from prosecution by the regime while the last, being a movie director can easily be targeted even outside of Iran and people like him are wasting away in Evin right now.
At the end, my expectation from political leaders are much higher than some movie director to begin with in terms of being vocal about injustice. So, yes, it is apple and oranges for me too.
Does anyone know where we can download or watch this movie ? I am wondering what was the conclusion that he came up with.
