A good representative film about the Arab Spring that took place on January 25, 2011, but like most Egyptian films, cuts between scenes are very rough, not very cohesive, abrupt, it bothers, as if they skipped important parts, a valid film , although it's all very fast, superficial, little in-depth, nothing didactic, just serving as a backdrop to the initial drama...
And the treatment of women is always prejudiced, sexist and patriarchal, which bothers even more... Don't let them say that I'm a rebel who betrayed the trust or forgot it. Don't let them say that I will become something trivial and subordinate. I am your son who wanted, freed, decided and concluded... Hide all his poems. Tear up your old notebooks and write the poetry of Egypt today. No silence can impose fear anymore. They may write: "Salamaleiko, Nile of Egypt and its people." Your eyes are the most beautiful girls deciding that this fear is over. The streets were playing with us with cold and ice. And we don't understand. We warmed up to each other and saw her smile so we forgot about the ice. And when you get mad, it reveals your smile. And our modesty refuses to violate our faces...
It looks like Brazil, buying votes, false participation of the people, mass privatization, lack of water and electricity, use of the famous cat, big businessmen benefiting, corruption, torture against rebellious ants, great symbolism...
