"Expos" presented the founder of the commercial trash as a monster • If Topaz had seen this movie, he probably would have started planning how to "handle" a life challenge

  • Uncle Topaz

In the decade since his suicide, his uncle Topaz's character was almost completely absent from rainbow broadcasts. Who was the face of Channel 2 in its early years, the founder of Commercial Trash, was wiped out with his legacy and achievements. Television loves to glorify the dead, but to remind you, Keshet's CEO, Avi Nir, was the main victim in the King of the King's psychotic revenge campaign.



Now that the wounds have healed a little, Haim Etgar has taken on a serious challenge - to do an investigation on his uncle Topaz, which will be broadcast on the rainbow. This is a historical twist. The episode (the first of two) aired last night was annexed to his new show, Exposure, a series of investigations that go back to old and famous affairs.



In order to produce the "Dudu Topaz" file, police investigations files were opened, recordings and archives were removed, and dozens of interviews were conducted with colleagues, people involved, criminal records, investigators and others. Topaz is easy prey, and if you are gentle, then the movie takes it out like a monster. Let's face it - if his uncle saw it, he would probably start planning how to handle life a challenge. All the dirt is re-floating - from the speech of the Chechas, through the breaking of the glasses to Schnitzer, the use of drugs and psychiatric pills, the professional failures, the relationships with criminals, and more as time permits.



Writer Yochi Brandes recovers a behind-the-scenes encounter with him during that dark time, and tells how he recoiled when people approached him, hugged and told him "You are such a good person, helping and loving." "I'm a bad person," he answered, she said. Most of all, there is a lack of interviewees here who will strengthen other parties - family, friends or people who were there at the time of the collapse. Their version would certainly help balance, as Topaz himself is no longer here to defend himself.



In the case in question, there are many shoddy and extreme materials, which are only partially revealed in the film, and it was convenient to drift into them to glimpse his personality and mental crash. However, contrary to his habit, this time underestimates yellow details and puts the emphasis on the attacks. I mean, there is considerable effort to maintain respect, and there is an attempt to stay relevant and submit everything in the style of the "real crime" series.



Therefore, "Dudu Topaz's portfolio" on his two parts is mainly focused on the criminal actions he performed at the time Topaz, with the help of illustrations, reconstructions, recordings and testimonies at first person. "I need thugs to blow journalists," says Boaz Ben-Zion, for example, on a conversation between them.



It was fascinating to watch Topaz act, plan his actions, and finally help the cops get on him. Topaz is the perpetrator of the "real crime" story, and if you had any doubts about how you were supposed to feel about him - came the frame in which Uri Margalit holds a picture of himself at age 6 (the age when he saw his mother being attacked by Topaz's teaching) as he describes the events and consequences for his life.



It is ridiculous to demand objectivity from a film whose producers and interviewers have been directly harmed. Challenges convey through them the amount of suffering they have experienced from their crimes, reminding us that Topaz has hurt people who are suffering from physical and mental pain to this day.



Any documentary creator is allowed to build his story as he sees fit, to choose a side and the message he conveys, as well as what the protagonist will look like in the eyes of viewers. Here he is portrayed as crazy, agitated, disgruntled and obsessed; A controversial person in his life who continues to be like that even after his death.

Dudu Topaz died ten and a half years ago, but there is still a strong desire among many to continue to shape the public memory for us. What will history remind you of, and can it still be changed? Wait for us after the.
