WWII Drama, the Iranian Youth working out their parts

Posted on July 16, 2007

The young people in Iran are trying to work out their rolls in the coming WWII remake. They know that the Hitler Youth were an important part of Hitler’s pre war Germany. They also know about the Pre war Germany with the decadent lifestyle portrayed in the movie Cabaret. Although the Iranian government outlaws most dancing, particularly women improperly clothed dancing in fron to a mixed audience. They are playing their parts while waiting for the inevitable crack down by the rigid ruling class.

The Iranian government, not wishing to reveal too much about the plot line has made it very difficult for outsiders to view the rehearsals, the paparazzi are kept well away from the important parts so we can only get glimpses of the preparations. Like this:

The children of the revolution

A crowd of some 100 people are pushing against a small police cabin in Tehran. Several middle-aged policemen look embarrassed as they try to disperse the crowd. Hysterical sobbing can be heard from inside.

Inside the cabin, an agitated teenage girl has ripped her headscarf off, letting her highlighted hair come tumbling down. She screams insults at a policeman who begs her to put back on her hijab and stop causing a scene.

We are still awaiting reports of the Ahmadinejad Youth organization, to see how closely their costumes and dialog follow the original script.
