‘The Man with a Thousand Faces’ in spotlight

‘The Man with a Thousand Faces’ has been widely discussed and praised in local media, after virtually the entire nation watched it. ifilm shares with you excerpts from print-media reviews of the popular comedy series.

The series is partly aimed at culture building. It criticizes negative phenomena and explores their social as well as psychological backgrounds.

It also emphasizes that people who fabricate titles for themselves and are incapable of handling the pertinent jobs, are not necessarily ill-natured. They might even lack ill wish. What brings them to the fore is people’s ignorance or mistaking such persons for others as well as praising them unnecessarily and baselessly. Such behaviors further stabilize wrong persons in wrong positions.

For example, anecdotes about colonel Ghaffari, narrated by a 48-month-in draftee, leads to Shastchi finally turning into a violent person in charge of the police station in the neighborhood.

However, the screenplay emphasizes that he simply wanted to improve the neighborhood, and his only fault was not knowing how to do so. That is why he detained dozens of the people in the neighborhood and put them behind bars. Even after coming to realize his mistake, Shastchi insists on it at any cost.

Stay with ifilm in this review of the popular comedy series, ‘The Man with a Thousand Faces’ in our future installments of the article.
