Mast-e Eshgh

This movie was one of the most awaited and controversial movies of Iranian cinema that I was waiting for, a philosophical and mystical story that at the same time deals with war and its consequences, and also deals with a love story. .... A complete and amazing movie, especially with the beautiful acting of Shahab Hosseini and Ibrahim Celikkol .

The point that exists is that besides being one of the great Iranian mystics, Rumi and Shams are also among the great poets of Iran. I think their poems should have been used more as a dialogue.

This movie had the ability to be made at least as a mini-series, pay attention, I say at least, because the story has the capacity of a long series, and I don't know why it was not made as a series.

In general, the editing work was good, the jumps to the past and present were well done.

The Farsi dubbing and dubbing of the Turkish actors was poorly done.

All in all, it was a great movie of Iranian and Turkish cinema. I definitely suggest you see it.

And finally, for a better understanding of Shams and Rumi's life, I suggest reading the book The Forty Rules of Love written by Elif safak.

Having delved deeply into the relationship between Molana and Shams, I can confidently say their story is one of the most powerful and stirring narratives of spiritual and emotional connection. Although Intoxicated doesn't exclusively center on their journey, it beautifully distills its spirit, offering viewers a glimpse into that profound love.

The film is more than just a retelling-it's an invitation to reflect. With its exploration of themes like love, war, identity, and societal structures, Intoxicated challenges us to reconsider how we live and relate to the world around us. It urges a conscious embrace of the present and highlights love as a radical force-one that can bridge divides, dissolve prejudice, and even bring peace where there was once conflict.

Ultimately, Intoxicated isn't just a film-it's an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. It has the power to shift your worldview, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I have extensively researched and studied the narratives surrounding Molana and Shams, and I can attest that their story, and the love that emanates from it, is profoundly moving and inspiring. While the movie does not solely focus on their tale, it adeptly captures its essence.

"Intoxicated" prompts introspection about one's reality, touching upon various themes including love, politics, and warfare. It encourages viewers to question their identity, prompting a reevaluation of life to savor each moment. Furthermore, the film deepens one's appreciation for love's transformative power - a force capable of both igniting and extinguishing conflicts, and transcending divisions such as racism.

In summary, "Intoxicated" is a cinematic experience that has the potential to profoundly alter one's perspective on life. I highly recommend watching this film.

The film MestiAsk has break record, has attracted more than 50,000 viewers on its first day and grossed more than 3.5 billion tombs, achieved great success by breaking the first day sales record in Iran.

Many Iranians who have seen MestiAsk praise among other things about the film such as the great performances, the great production and the great soundtrack, the wonderful performance of Hande Ercel who brings Kimya to life and conveys and makes you feel everything she feels, and being very saddening the end of her character, and congratulate Hande Ercel and the whole team for their great talent and hard work, and for the great success of the film.

The continuous applause from the audience in the theater at the end of the movie clearly indicates how successfully it has delivered its very spiritual message .

The rhythm of the suspicious story telling at the beginning parts of the film ,takes your thoughts and estimation far away from the actual roles of the main characters,that's considered as an achievement of the director that can playfully leave you with mixed feelings towards the characters and their actual intentions through out the flash backs within the scenses..

My congratulations to the whole team for this amazingly done performance.
