تذكرتين سينما
salam alikom wa rahmatu Allahi wa barkatu
I watched today "El Zoga el Thanya" for the brilliant Salah Mansour,,and Shukri Sarhan...and the lovely Soad Hosni..and Sana'a Gameel! I laughed at some parts... I was diving into this world...see and touch corruption !
But was this all for entertainment?! I don't think so....!
It's my pleasure to go on weekends to Cinema...On Thursday ...my best friend argues with me which film we'll choose......we meet..watch the film..then we give ourselves a moment to recollect what we have watched..what I think ..... what my reaction is...then......we'd sit down together...and deliver what I have absorbed ! what touched me most...!
Did the film I watch value the mentality of the spectator and address it? or is it just ridiculing his mind?!
Am I able to see through the writer's character...and the director's point of view? Or am I led astray?!
Didn't "leilet sokoot Baghdad" , "Dam el Ghazal", "Munich", "Syriana" have their effect on me?!
didn't they express a reality we're living in some way or another,,,,?!
Is the cinema just minimised to be a number of scenes...people moving....?!
Are Hollywood movies just a tool for entertaining the spoiled youth? was Fahernheit 9/11 so?!
I remember 6 years ago..I watched the cartoon feature film.."Chicken Run",,,and Mel Gibson was participating in that Movie...! It's about the American Chicken that comes to another farm...whose chicken wants freedom...so he tries to help them on their revolt ...and they mistakenly think he can teach them how to fly....the scenes on which he teaches them how to fly.,...and it's futile of course...is really comic...!
Wasn't that movie ridiculing the unbreakable image of the American hero...who is God-sent to the universe to grant liberty and freedom...?!
By the end of the movie...the Chicken had to depend on themselves not on the "false" hero..who needed help himself...!
Such films...either reflect the things they lack and their illusion...or their final resolution to unblind themselves and see what is going in the world around them~!
Didn't Spielberg..Redley Scott...Michael Moore....and others choose to show to the world their stance of what's going on around them?!
well...This is what instigates me to go and watch all sorts of movies and now....I will have to think about next week's movie :)
