I saw The Wall a few weeks ago; I shall see it again in a couple of weeks. On the cutting edge of audio-visual technology, Roger Waters was unrelentingly political, globally so. The second picture of his opening, Neda Agha Soltan, the woman whose death-on-screen shocked even the most ardent of so-called lefty pro-Ahmadinejadists that used to be the friends of this blog (until they turned their back on us, fooled by Ahmadinejadist's propaganda.) In this interview, he talks about what he knows of Iran, for instance Bahman Ghobadi, the exiled filmmaker whose films, without pointing any political finger, make us be more humane. Fair and square, he doesn't hold his criticism of Israel's theocracy and United States' Guantanamo shame. Like superman, he wants to be a global hero.
I enjoyed the show, and enjoyed all he said in this interview.
The interview was conducted with BBC Persian (in NYC); the opening statements (in persian) are only a few seconds.
