About the series Smile, General, the following lines will be, and about the fever of documentation and the document, and this is the most prevalent matter these days during the show of the series on Syria TV and Al-Araby TV 2. The following lines will disappoint you because they will not tell you about the truth about the characters that appeared in the series, nor about that The role of such and such represents so-and-so, and the character of the other officer does not represent a specific officer, and you will also be disappointed if you know that this surplus of possibilities spread around the characters and who they represent, may or may not be real! What does documentation mean and why does it concern us?
Because we are thirsty for a work that only tells about us, what we went through and what we experienced, and we want to learn more about how the conditions of our country have reached the point they have reached. it has made many of us hell and it is our right. But if we get away from the documentation bustle and read the verse in the first line:
“I’m saying, as a pigeon sings beside me… Neighbors, do you feel me?”
We followed him by remembering the following verses:
I see that you are shedding tears for your patience. When it comes to ambition, is it haram or a command for you?
Yes I miss and I have a fist.. But someone like me has no secret
And this house:
Believe after giving yourself what you want. When you get an award, you are rewarded with the pain of my reproach. The image of the knightly poet Abu Firas al-Hamdani, cousin of Saif al-Dawla, the emir of the Hamdanid state, which extended to include parts of northern Syria and Iraq and whose capital was Aleppo in the tenth century AD, will jump to memory. The image of the knight who was captured during the battles of his state against the Romans. Can anyone be certain of the presence of the dove that wailed near him? Can anyone be certain of the number of times and duration of his captivity? Answer: No.
However, these verses were enough to convey to us the ability to imagine his situation and the state’s condition, his courage, patience and admonition. With these verses and other pieces of literary art, we were able to paint a picture of the entire era, and this is enough to imagine a complete history.
It does not matter how these literary pieces survived the fires of time and how they reached us, whether they survived by keeping them in chests or by lines written on animal skin or rolled paper, or engraved on a golden board. This picture is at any time.. And this is what the series, “Smile, General” does, as it gave us the ability to imagine and paint the scene in the palaces of the rulers, and broke the walls of the palaces and entered the dark rooms, rooms for drawing plans, plotting plots, distorting constitutions and shedding blood. What the series “Smile, General” does is to present the ability to imagine and draw the scene in the palaces of the rulers, break the walls of the palaces and enter the dark rooms, the rooms of drawing plans, weaving plots, distorting constitutions and shedding blood.
What did the series smile, general?
We disagree or agree with what the series has presented us so far in terms of the open circumstance of time and space. This is not a great matter, but we must agree that he was able to present something that is forbidden to us and that can be projected on any circumstance of time or place in an Arab environment that does not differ much. What we are witnessing, but what is more horrible and horrible in it, and this is left to your imagination, and therefore I said that the lines will disappoint you if you search for a specific scene, event, or person. The fact of the matter is that they are all fit to project onto them and all events are also fit to be the story. We must agree that he was able to present something that is forbidden to us and that can be projected on any circumstance of time or place in an Arab environment that is not much different from what we see, but in it is what is more horrible and heinous, and this is left to your imagination.
Returning to the image of Abu Firas al-Hamdani, which we drew based on poetic verses, biographies, and stories, some of which are documented and others not. We will find, after a while, that the series “Smile, General” constitutes a work of art and not a “historical document” for a time or group, but it is fit to be so, but I am almost certain. Its events so far and what will be shown in the coming days are the tip of the iceberg that many know and remain silent about, and the most important thing is that the series as a dramatic work was not only presented as such, but rather as a “message” that might establish a desired situation with works of art outside the umbrella of power, and the series presents its heroes to us. Let us put them in the panels of our knowledge and our incomplete memories to complete them. It also provides us with models that break the prevailing format that promotes, so smile all and enjoy it, because it is the biography of whoever you want to know about his biography, whoever it is, and project it on whoever you want and whoever you think, they are all like that and fit to be those criminals. After a time, it will be part of the history of this country and may present to the researcher a picture of it or something of the picture or prompt him to imagine. For example, it is not the story of a village and a family that cultivated drugs and cross-border smuggling, and presented its members as heroes, and their words and phrases became circulated and the shapes of their beards followed fashions, and their stories about killing and “ghosting” became presented as a heroic act of chivalry that carries prestige and pride.

What the series has presented so far and what it will present according to expectation does not seem to have been subject to a ceiling or a red line, as usual. Rather, its makers made the ceiling of their freedom, and turned it into standards because they present artwork that depicts what is behind closed doors. Artistic, dramatic, literary, and..and..not what the censors want, whoever they are and wherever they are, and this is what made the entire audience legitimate censors.
Here it should be noted that the participation of everyone who participated in the work, whatever their participation, is an act that deserves praise and appreciation before commenting and criticizing. Criticism is a guaranteed right for everyone who wants, but it is the duty of every critic or critic to give his opinion on the right to work. Syria is worthy of our ideas, we need your voices and your words.
But.. For criticism to be constructive and truly assist the rise of drama, the critic must keep in mind that this work has more challenges and dimensions than production values, performance, colors and venues. a day’s footage, or locations, equipment, workers’ salaries, or the sums artists receive. This is the weakest point of criticism, except for those who admire and criticize or seek out their publications. It’s awe-inspiring to remember that what you write is important because the door is opened, and to know that what you write is of no value. One writes or says only from the value of the work.
