Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's story begins with good ideas and ideals and ends in bloody chaos. On the one hand, he helped carry Iran into modernity. His wealth was legendary, and his marriages made tabloid headlines for years. However, his name also stands for a time of human rights violations, vicious oppression and intolerance. Had Shah Reza Pahlavi not come to power, it’s unlikely that radical Islam would have the widespread political and brutal effects it has today. The film shows what has remained of the legacy of the regime after the Islamic Revolution to this day combining his biography with the social, political, economic and religious tendencies of the time.

Ya it's weird, I don't know why Islam and the clerics still have so much power and influence in Iran. I think it has to do more with hating foreign influence and manipulation rather than actually wanting to live in a theocratic state. People are willing to be subjugated by the clerics instead of the US and their allies I guess.

Did you not watch the doc?! Iran was never free and prosperous under him. the lower and lower middle class people suffered massively. There’s a reason why these Persians wanted him gone. But I agree that they should be free from the horrible Shia regime they are under.

It's important to note that perceptions of political leaders can vary widely among different groups of people and over time. While many people viewed the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, as a bad ruler for the reasons mentioned earlier, there were also those who supported him for various reasons: 1. **Modernization Efforts**: The Shah initiated ambitious modernization programs that aimed to rapidly develop Iran's economy, infrastructure, and education system. 2. **Women's Rights**: The Shah's regime implemented progressive reforms that granted women more rights and opportunities, such as the right to vote and access to education and employment. 3. **Stability and Security**: Some Iranians appreciated the relative stability and security provided by the Shah's authoritarian rule, especially in contrast to the chaos and uncertainty that followed the Iranian Revolution. On the other hand, some people dislike the leaders who came after the Shah for several reasons: 1. **Islamic Rule**: The new government established after the revolution implemented strict Islamic laws and restrictions, which some viewed as oppressive and regressive. 2. **Political Repression**: The post-revolutionary leadership, particularly under Ayatollah Khomeini, was accused of cracking down on dissent and limiting democratic freedoms. 3. **Economic Hardships**: The new government struggled to address economic challenges, leading to inflation, unemployment, and other hardships for many Iranians. These factors have contributed to mixed opinions about both the Shah and the leaders who came after him, with different segments of the population holding divergent views based on their experiences and perspectives.

If the Shah actually cared about the common people and wasn't a dictator to the extent he was, none of what proceeded would have happened. He only knew how to make the oligarchs happy. Remember it was the people who revolted, Ayatollah didn't come with a cloak and dagger to slit Shah's throat in the name of religion. He was happily praying and writing books in exile for many years.

I think it goes something like this "History is as true as the person who wrote it". Although this documentary seems to be true for the most part, I, as an Iranian born and raised and lived thru the revolution, believe a major of part of truth hasn't been told. This revolution happened primarily because few of the western world countries, including USA and England, wanted it to happen, for financial reasons. They took advantage of the uninformed people. Give me a Voice/Media coverage and I will cause unrest and riot among any Uninformed communities, simply by focusing on differences and giving unrealistic hopes. West benefits from the current Iranian regime where the area became more insecure and the countries of the area had and have to look for the American support for their survival against the current Iranian regime. It is very disturbing when we all look for our personal gain regardless of the harm to others.

De shah probeerde het land veel sneller te moderniseren dan mogelijk was. Ook had hij heel weinig contact met zijn volk, waardoor de shah niet inzag welke gevolgen zijn beslissingen hadden voor het dagelijks leven van de mensen in zijn land. De shah hield ook strak vast aan zijn macht en verbood alle politieke stromingen die het niet met hem eens waren, terwijl bij het moderniseren van een land eigenlijk ook een vrij gekozen democratische regering hoort en een vrije pers om die regering te controleren. Hij liet alleen de geestelijken vrij om te doen en laten wat ze wilden, dus kon de revolutie ook alleen maar uit islamistische hoek komen toen de gewone mensen uiteindelijk in opstand kwamen. Ik denk dat de shah iemand was met goede bedoelingen en hoge ambities, maar dat hij zichzelf blind en doof maakte voor de realiteit, door geen kritiek op hemzelf toe te staan en door geen rekening te houden met de bevolking.

When the Shah was toppled, after visiting the USA, Khomeni was brought to Iran on a French aeroplane.

I’ve often wondered if the US didn’t have anything to with this. Sort of like Germany and Vladimir Lenin in WWI. It was the US that put pressure on the Shah to take measures that would insure his overthrow, including his departure from Iran. And US intelligence services were of the mind during this period that religious states were the best hedge against the USSR.

@jasonwatz7457 Ай бұрын

It's a reasonable thing to think given that the U.S. did meddle quite a bit in the region during the cold war. But I don't see how they would benefit from sabotaging the shah's regime, given that the shah was on their side, provided them with oil and was a very good customer to the U.S. defense industry. U.S. did prefer religious fundamentalist groups to communism, yes. But the shah was strongly anti-communist already.

The shah had great plans for the country (empire) but at the same time, those plans were also meant to glorify himself and potentially make him the greatest ruler in Iranian history. He didn't integrate himself with his people. Meanwhile, the religious class along with the regular classes were suspicious and afraid of the changes. Obviously, he wanted changes to happen as quickly as he wanted, which led to resistance. Iran could have been what is Dubai today. Maybe even more. Maybe, they would be like China today.

Oh no. Iran was mostly a homogeneous ethnicity, Turkey however was not. Ata Turk removed all ethnicities (Greeks and Armenians etc) and then gave the remaining population 24 hrs to dress as westerners. He removed the Arabic script for a Latin character based alphabet and then used the new turk idea by creating an ethnic group called turks. He also forced all religions to not display their religious ideals or paraphernalia in public. The Shah did not do this.
