A mixture of technical knowledge and creativity

by Mackenzie Steven

My Criticism of the cinematic Movie “WishBone”;  A mixture of technical knowledge and creativity, “WishBone” is Mahmoud Atshani’s second feature film as a cinematographer.  But the narrative atmosphere of the film and its resemblance to one of the criminal events that took place in the country in recent years, caused the brilliant filming of the work to be lost in the news buzz of the film, and despite significant strengths in framing and using all  The basic elements of the aesthetics of the facade should be ignored. The film “Wish Bone” is a completely different experience for him . This time, he is going to close the tense scenes and not only presents the correct geography of the mysterious scenes of the film and shows the feelings that has been going on with the characters, but also in terms of time, he has moved forward for several years and innovated.  Makes a new investment in filming melodrama works …….

Features that could become the strength of the work. It is interesting to know that the atmosphere, filming and design of the brilliant scene, are among the reasons that make “Wish Bone” among the exemplary works of Iranian cinema in technical ways.  The main story of the film takes place inside two houses;  The house where the main character of the story, Damoon Shams, played by Hossein Yari, tries to have a comfortable life in the most comfortable way possible with his wife, who is pregnant. The second house is also Tiara. Tiara, played by Mitra Hajar.  Well received, view size, framing angles and depth

The square is different in the images of the two houses. The cinematographer tries to give the audiencr this feeling, although the protagonist’s marital residence looks calm and beautiful, but if the audience digs through the lives of the characters they’ll see the trust issues and lies lying under it all.In the same way, in Damoon’s mistress’s house, Tiara, the cinematographer’s remarkable filming capacities and knowledge provide this ability so that even without listening to the film’s dialogues, by watching open and meaningful shots, the true essence of a poisonous relationship between Damoon and Tiara Is clear. “Wish Bone” is eye-catching in terms of cinematography;  Mahmoud Atshani, who had previously proved himself in the film “Seven Reverses”, now appears brilliant again in this other experience, and in practice, shows the most beautiful and professional cinematography of recent years in terms of cinema.  The Mise-en-scène , although not very new and different in this film, are in line with the genre Which shows the director clearly intended to work on: the prevailing view of the filming context also contributes to the transmission of concepts.  Routine, different and functional.  Undoubtedly, this theory or scale stone is the scale of world cinema. But the point to consider is that the filming of this film has a lot to say in comparison with other works of Iranian cinema, which are classified in the same category with “Wish Bone”. Wish Bone has some shortcomings in several aspects, including the script: First, it is easy to deceive and touch the Iranian audience, who has seen Hollywood works in the highest quality all these years, by exploiting the element of suspension.

I do not. Therefore, the author does not succeed in making the ending of his story so delicate that it astonishes the viewer.  In fact, the climax of the film in the third scene is at a level that diminishes all the relatively good previous efforts to advance the story.  Accepts . “Wish Bone” is a standard film with a passing score;  This standard is derived from all the components of the film: the script is clearly three scenes full of tension, which together work properly in terms of rhythm;  Very good filming and stage design, which is at a good level of Iranian cinema, mostly admirable games, and besides, mezzanines that are not harmful, even if they are not full of creativity.
