Amira & Sam (2014)
1/10
Slow and distracted story line, aims only to misrepresents the actual Arabic culture and values.
12 May 2015
First of all, the story line and the overall flow of the story seems to be very slow and distracted taking 3 stories going into 3 different directions with a very weak relationship between these stories. Very predictable ending with no attention to grab the audience's attention to any overall idea or feeling. On the other hand, even though throughout the movie I was feeling annoyed and disgust by the way the writer represented the Arab culture "my culture" in this unrealistic and irrational way. Through the whole movie, I was trying to understand the main hook or purpose behind the story, but found nothing but trying to misrepresents the actual Arabic culture and values in a way which suits the writer's fantasies and the movie sponsor's political goals. Therefore, in my opinion this movie disrespects the Arabic and Islamic values on many levels.
