This boy is among the people demonstrating in front of the Norway Embassy in Tehran. The fact that he is carrying a picture of the prophet shows that he has no serious problem with drawing Prophet’s face. He basically seems to be mad with the content of the cartoons. This picture is believed to depict the young prophet when he was traveling with his uncle.

Iran Daily is holding a contest for the best cartoon about Holocaust (see). That’s when cartoons fight. The chief Rabbi in France indicates two issues in this matter. First, there are jewish people in Iran which will be hurt, though, there were Mulsims in Denmark which were obviously hurt. Second, he notes that Europe religious leaders have condemned the publication of the images which are likely to offend believers’ feelings.

p.s. The prize is 140$ for each of the ten winners. Would you guys in Iran Daily please assume this contest more important?

Borrowing Johnny Depp from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and Kate Winselt from “Titanic”, “Finding Neverland” is nothing like an entertaining motion picture. So, do not look for a gigantic stunt work or an elegant realization of fantastic characters. Finding neverland is all about a scene writer and his dream world. The movie is full of occasions when reality and fantasy are quite mixed up. Like when the writer and his wife, which is not having any affair with fairytales, go to their rooms. While the wife’s room is a dark obvious one, the writer steps into sky.
The main line of the story is about how the writer meets a pretty woman with her four sons and knows that the father of the boys has recently died. Strange enough for the Miramax and Kate Winselt, the movie, which is full of romantic scenes, is not having any single adult shots. I really liked it when the mother of the boys, having suffered with an illness like Tuberculous, is surprised by a play in her house. To satisfy our imaginations, she steps into a fairytale world just in her living room. And then, the next shot, we see the family gathered on her grave.
It seems that the guys in Hollywood are able to make worthy movies, if they try. Though, I am not sure “Finding Neverland” has sold as good as “Titanic” or “The Pirates of the Caribbean”.
