The Kimiaei Cinema System of Acting: A review of “The Deer” and “Crime” movies

This study examines the acting system of The Deer and Crime, made by Kimiai. Although many scholars have considered narratives limited to stories, and believe that these are the texts of a virtual nature, texts that have their own actants, but the fictional nature of the movies that excite their audience are full of the actants who have the power to change the status of the stories from the balanced to unbalanced and vice versa. Every fictional character has physical, psychological, and social characteristics, and makes this character in the narrative context a dramatic character. In fact, the value of each narrative depends on its latent beauties, and the right structure can add to these beauties. So, understanding the narrative structure of the story characters are among the most important points in literary studies. Researchers try to explain the relationship between the fictional characters through the use of semantics. One of the efficient ways of explaining the relationship of the characters is “actantial model” developed by Greimas. We have compared the actants of The Deer and Crime using the “actantial model”. In these narratives, the word “actant” goes beyond the fictional character and ultimately, the heroes convey important social and moral messages to the viewer with their death. The nature of these movies are similar in illustrating the pattern of Kimiai’s thought before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the movement of the society to achieve a transcendent status from the individual subject to the social subject.
