Although the image of a “master” comes to mind in Azerbaijani cinema, the first film that comes to mind is “Our Master Jabish”, but there are many films related to this topic in our cinema.
In the silent film “Almaz”, co-produced by Agarza Guliyev and Grigori Braginsky, the image of a militant teacher was created in the image of Almaz.
The film was shot according to the script of Jafar Jabbarli. Almaz, who left the city to work as a teacher in one of the remote villages, faced many difficulties here.
Almaz not only teaches students, but also acts as an advocate for women’s rights. On her initiative, an association of wool women is organized and jobs are created.
In the film “Bakhtiyar” by Latif Safarov, Mammadrza Sheykhzamanov played “Professor Rajabov”.
In the first episode in which the professor appears in the film, the children invade his apple orchard. Hearing Bakhtiyar’s sweet voice, the teacher makes him sing and controls his voice, he does not even notice the theft in the garden. When he finds out why the children dug the apple, he helps them pick it himself.
In the following episodes, Professor Rajabov’s interest in Bakhtiyar’s fate and his desire to attract the young oilman to study music show what a visionary he is.
Huseyin Seyidzadeh’s film “Dali Kura” shows the conflict between two teaching methods: mollakhana and secular school.
In order for the children to receive a secular education, the Russian Ahmad, a teacher from Gori, tries to convince the village community together with Chernyaevsky. However, the cleric and mollakhana teacher Molla Sadığ is opposed. At the end of the film, we see the village children returning from Gori as teachers.
Hasan Seyidbeyli’s film “Our Master Jabish” is one of our films that has become a cult.
This film is one of the most beautiful cinematographic works of our national cinema dedicated to life in the rear during the Second World War.
Jabish, the prototype of pure-hearted masters, is a true master. Although he knows that if he uses his skills to make soap he will get rich, but he does not fit it into the master’s morals.
In the last episodes of the film, Jabish distributes the soaps made by the professor to his former students who left for the front. Returning home with an empty suitcase and a clear conscience, Mr. Jabish observes the newly inaugurated morning in Baku with a smile.
Director Rasim Ojagov created unforgettable teacher characters in his four films.
His film “Another Life” ends with the tragedy of the influential rector of a major higher education institution.
The director captures the life of the elderly rector Fariz Rzayev in one day. Ochagov seeks Fariz’s forced double life, the process of alienation in the erroneous establishment of values in Soviet society.
The rector does not forgive Imanova’s affair with Hasanov, a professor at the university. He wants to fire them. However, although the rector is married, he is in love with his neighbor.
