The latest Iranian movie, Titi, directed by Aida Panahandeh, has just been released in cinemas. This movie was made in 1998, but its release was postponed. This movie, which experienced sales of half a billion on the first day of its release, can be analyzed in different ways. Please stay with us until the end.
Before directing the film Titi, Aida Panahande directed Nahid, Esrafil, and Paizin Nikaido and has had a very good experience in this field.
What is happening in the movie Titi?
The story othe f movie Titi is about a university professor and physicist named Ibrahim (Parsa Pirozfar) who meets a woman nicknamed TT (Elnaz Shakerdoost). In this movie, Titi is a simple city girl whose job is as a service worker in a hospital.
She makes money by renting out her womb to infertile couples. Titi has a fiancé (Hoton Shakiba) who is not a trustworthy man. But the interesting thing is that Titi Pak is immersed in his own thoughts and has closed his eyes to the truth (the candidate who is abusing him).
Ibrahim, who is seriously ill, goes to the hospital where Titi works. He plans to prove the hypothesis of the end of the world in order to save humanity. That’s why he always carries his papers around with him.
But this time, he suddenly leaves all his project papers, which contain important information, in the hospital. In the rest of the movie, Ibrahim goes to Titi to get his papers. At the end of the film, we will see that Ibrahim and Titi are sitting in a long shot by the sea and thinking about the world that still has a place for them.
The story of the Titi movie is a platform to show the characters who are improving morally and humanly. Ibrahim is looking for something to change the world and prevent its destruction, although, in this part of the movie the viewer likes to tell the story like Hollywood movies, in the end, we will face a moral and human aspect.
Abraham gives up all his assumptions for Titi and comes to the conclusion that nothing will be more important than saving or educating another human being.
Has the movie Titi been successful in attracting the audience?
If you remember, in the review of the Titi movie, I said that this movie is the fourth movie of Aida Panahandeh after Nahid, Esrafil, and Nikaido’s Autumn. Like Nahid and Esrafil, the film Aida Panahande also has common features, these works focus on a woman, and interestingly, the story of all three films is told in the north of Iran with views of the sea, forest, and nature.
With this method: treat wrinkles, hollows under the eyes, and dark spots on the face
Maybe this thought of the director has ended in his favor. Romantic and dramatic atmospheres in this type of movie will have a very good psychological effect on its audience. The use of local accents and clothes and attractive and natural locations has doubled this impact.
According to Heli’s analysis of the film Titi and the film Aida the refugee, women with their special thoughts are always separated from the society around them; If you have seen the character of Nahid in the movie Nahid, you know that in this movie, Nahid, having a teenage son and a husband who has already separated from her and now won’t give up on her, Nahid falls in love with the sea again.
In the movie Asrafil, the character of Mahi falls in love with his traditional family and fights to the death for his love. But you should know that the most special woman in Aida’s refugee films is this Titi; She is considered a new woman in Iranian cinema, she knows a little magic and sometimes does magic tricks. A lonely woman whose mission in this world is only to bring children to others and a madwoman who swam in the sea one night until morning and prayed for Ibrahim to get well.
The reward for all the sufferings of Titi is this dialogue where Ibrahim says: “You are not like any adulteress I have seen. You don’t look like adultery at all.”
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, this film was presented at the Fajr Film Festival and was released in cinemas in a limited way for general audiences. But the public popularity of this film showed, not only in festivals but also among the general public because of its professional and popular actors as well as its fresh and attractive story.
Weaknesses of the movie Titi in the eyes of critics
In the review of the movie Titi, it should be said that Aida Panahande is still confused in determining the position of the camera, and in the plans, with frames from behind a tree or a bush and a piece of cloth, she has ignored this issue.
In this movie, after twenty minutes, the suspense and the action of the story start, which according to some critics, maybe a defect on the part of the author.
These basic things must be observed and these defects must be fixed in the next works. Because they may accuse him of making dramatic issues. The narrative form of the work shows the ending of the film to be undervalued.
In fact, the opening sequence is trying to show that in fact, by saving one person, we will save the whole world, but this narrative is depicted in the worst possible way.
In the review of the movie Titi, it should be said that there is nothing missing from the visual point of view, and from the audio point of view, with the presence of Bahman Ardalan, everything in this matter is excellent. The voice acting and the music of the film are pleasing to the ears and the director was able to show the audience the geographical location of his film through sound.
In another sequence, Titi is seen sitting by the fire and her fiance asks her to choose between herself and Ibrahim, here it is clearly seen with the directing problem; This sequence is full of emotion. A storm has arisen in the heart of Titi.
But the director’s camera, by taking the medium shot frame, shows his inability to portray the character’s internal conflict, his camera cannot show Titi’s feelings and decision correctly, and he is forced to focus the entire film and script on his main role, Elnaz Shakerdoost. throw
