Criticism of the second and third parts of “Bamadad Khamar”; Literally invisible!

Last week, with the start of the series “Bammad Khamar” on the Shida platform, exactly after the end of the other series “Narges Abiyar”, we reviewed the first episode of the season and criticized it more or less. However, Koresh Jan was unkind in his review of the series, because I decided to go to Bammad Khamar under the influence of the average review and what I saw in front of me is a disaster that I can’t believe is being presented to the audience in the name of a series.

After watching the first three episodes, which one after the other goes further back, my curiosity was aroused to know whether it is possible to save such a disaster or not; As a result, we have decided to review “Bamdad Khamar” series episode by episode every week and follow its ups and downs.

A few days ago, the second and third episodes of Badam Khamar were aired simultaneously and with each other; As if Shida himself wants to air the series faster and solve the problem. Perhaps the progress of the story in the second part was so slow and the narrative was so uneventful, that the broadcast of the second part by itself would probably make the audience cry and it would be better to broadcast its continuation so that the viewer would get something. (Probably needless to say, nobody got anything.)

The experience of watching Badam Khamar in the first three episodes was nothing but a pure headache.

The four literary works in the middle of the series are not supposed to convey the literary value of the novel

I don’t want to go into the story, because firstly, the whole story is summed up in one line so far, secondly, talking directly about the story and reviewing the events may be considered a pure spoiler. However, keep in mind that if we want to talk about the next episodes, it is inevitable to interrupt the story.

A practical nose was one of the main characteristics of girls of the last century. (with which that continuous eyebrow was heavily synchronized)

At the very beginning, I say that I have not read the novel, but in order to make sure that the weakness of the series’ writing does not originate from the novel, after watching three episodes of the series, I opened the book and read ten pages of it. Now I can confidently say that the writing of the series is extremely simple and primitive; So that a bit of the general tone of the book is not found in the series.

The novel has a very high literary value and its Farsi is amazing. The writing of Bammad Khamar is soft and smooth, simple and really attractive. The book is told entirely from the perspective of the first person and through the language of Mahbubeh for Sudabah, but when we come to the series, the narrator who is Mahbubeh has a much smaller role. His mental images and his sentences give way to simple dialogues, broken Persian and an unstable tone. The dialogues are usually written very basic and simple in the series, but from time to time the author decides to include the more literary sentences of the novel; Sentences so irrelevant in terms of tone to the rest of the series that the viewer is shocked and jumps up like watching a horror movie.

The boy’s head, face and body are smeared with so much oil, his eye area is covered with cream more than punk singers, his eyebrows are removed, his lips are covered with flowers, that even the girls in this series don’t have this amount of make-up.

We have advanced three episodes in the series and we have not yet gone through the introduction of the novel, and it is not clear how much of the novel Bammad Khamar is going to adapt in this season. Because with the current trend, something is definitely not going to happen in the story anytime soon.

I have nothing to do with the fact that the story of Bammad Khamar and what has been shown so far is completely outdated, and the style of love that it shows is probably only attractive to a certain range of middle-aged women or, finally, maybe the class of classical literature professors (the novel may be contemporary Iranian literature, but in its structure it completely follows the classical romantic literature of the nineteenth century), but with all these features, the story is not the main obstacle to watching this series.

This is not the style of filming, it is visual torture of the viewer

The set design of the Bamdad Khamar series is excellent, the costume design is done in the best possible way, the lighting of each scene is very well executed, and in general, it can be said that a lot of effort has been made to make the composition of each scene correct, which ultimately destroys the filming of everything that others have made.

The set design and costumes are by far the best part of The Hangover.

I don’t know where in the world they use hand-held camera for a romantic drama, where you’re hand-held the whole series from start to finish? The hand-held camera is useful for action scenes, or at least for scenes where they want to instill tension in the audience.

In the simplest possible sequences, between all the dialogues, for the most trivial sentences and even the silences that he wants to create atmosphere or show a change of environment, Bammad Khamar doesn’t mind the camera. Basically, the entire series was filmed for a romantic drama and in the most unstructured way possible; As if Ms. Abyar intended to pay tribute to the “Dogma 95” school with this work.

When we say hand-held camera, we don’t mean just moving after the subject, the camera swings from one side to the other in the early morning (at a high angle) and you don’t know where and what it wants to follow. The movement of the camera was so nerve-wracking that in the middle of the second episode I was convinced that the entire series was given to a computer algorithm to randomly find and follow a subject in the image (especially when I know that artificial intelligence was used in the series and the credits were animated with artificial intelligence), but those irrelevant zooms, which are impossible to do without pressing a key on the camera, convinced me that an example “Director” and, for example, “cameraman” were behind this work.

These zooms are even worse than having the camera hover at all times. Zooms accompany the entire series from beginning to end without any logic, without any fixed pattern and boldly without any thought.

The movement of the camera in each sequence is as follows: an irrelevant zoom on the character’s face when another character is talking, another character passes in between and completely masks the character, the camera does not cut and zooms in on another element, zooms in and out a few times aimlessly, takes half of the character’s face, comes out again and follows another element… and all this describes ten seconds of this. It was a series. We are not kidding when we say that the series cannot be watched in the true sense of the word.

This is not only a style, but also not a heresy. Maybe it’s not your innovation, when you still don’t know the standard and logic of closing an image. I always repeat this story: Picasso reached the goal of real painting, knew all the standards, and then decided to create a new style with a certain framework.

This baseless and impossible filming is not your style, but it is a pure abomination that was executed without relying on any framework and rules, and the result is pure nervousness of the viewer. Hundreds of people worked on this series, from everyone who was there when it was recorded, to the editors, and finally to the producers who watched the final file and gave it the OK to play, and in the whole process, not one person dared to tell you, “This is not style!” And everything recorded should be thrown away.

Bruce Lee’s zoom a few seconds before his direct attack against Chuck Norris wasn’t so much that this sequence zooms in on Rahim’s face like this. (And then it comes out!)

Zorahei series does not replace Bammad Khamar novel

We said above, the novel Bammad Khamar is excellent from a literary point of view. We have nothing to do with its story, which clearly tries to make the reader cry and shows the girl as miserable as possible. The literary value of the novel, its Persian writing, its general flow and everything in its own style is the best in contemporary Persian literature.

The novel is about 400 pages, the Persian is soft and fluent, and you can read it easily and very quickly, get to the end of the story (which the series is probably unable to do) and enjoy it in every way.

We have wasted our time so far in the series to tell you to read the book and not watch the series, that “Bamad Khamar” is nothing but a headache for the viewer.
