Ba7eb el sima

Yes, i love movies in particular egyptian movies.It's unthinkable 2 me how some of my friends cannot stand watching them.
I think we have gone a long way in this direction.Recently, we have been introducing what i think is landmarks in egyptian cinema history.
Today is friday, due to me not feeling ok I was forced 2 stay home; and what to do other than facebooking and watching a movie??
My 1st choice would have been Hairspray(something cheerful)had it not been with Rania:/
Ok 2nd choice was any other light movie, be it egyptian, american or even chinese but again nothing in my library, nor in Ahmed's.
The only choice left and a last resort actually is "aw2at fara3'".
Bought it during my last visit 2 Egypt but been afraid to watch it, seemed very gloomey.
Anyway as i said no other option.It's about a group of teenagers facing mainly identity problems plus other typical teenage problems.
Menna the girl tourne between two choices; to be a committed muslim or live her life as a normal egyptian girl her age nowadays..wearing veil or the boyfriend?
The boyz somking weed, drinking, picking up hockers, opposing their parents,loving, having double standards when it comes 2 the girls they love etc...again typical egyptian teenage problems.
The death of their friend in a way gives them a wake up call, they abandoned drugs, started praying, listening to Amr Khaled but then they quit that too.Expected!
Teenagers usually don't have steady orientation.
The end comes with them continuing living their lives like they should, with all the controversy, fun, problems and pain that comes along with the teen.
I enjoyed watching this movie alot it's soo real.It also rings a bell to the parents.
Teenagers all over the world face more or less the same problems, added to them any particular problems a country might be facing wheter social or financial.
This movie tackled both.Lately egyptian cinema has been tackling serious and what i would call less talked about issues.They might not be cheerful, they might hurt and even make you cry.But this is the role of the movies, highlighting society's problems.
They should not all have happy endings coz this is not real life.
Ofcourse it's also nice to watch a light comedy or a love story every now and then they are spirit boosters, but real life movies interest me the most.
Anyway just wanted to say that i love the cinema;actually i wish i worked in that field but too late for that now.Egyptian movies are my passion and i am real proud of the standard of movies we reached. With great scripts, talented actors and directors, we are the leaders of the Arab world in this field.
Way to go...
