"The Syrian Bride" is one of the most amazing Arabic movies i have ever seen in my life. I would even give it a higher grade than "10" if I could. The plot is very real and serious, it sheds the light on a spectrum of elements and factors that constitute altogether the Druze individual who lives in Occupied Jollan Hieghts. Those people who suffer from the bitterness of BELOGING issue, are on display in this movie. On the one hand they are SYRIAN, but they feel isolated and secluded from their homeland on the other, and that's due to the fact that Israel has occupied their land , and Syria cannot get it back. In the movie there are some scenes of demonstrations organized by the local people of Majdal Shams implying their insisting need to re-belong to their homeland. However, they will never accomplish their need neither fulfill their dream as long as their green hills are occupied.
The movie incarnates the the dilemma of belonging and the suffocating state of being under occupation.
