Arabic Culture Imitating Western Society

Ahl al Gharam on MBC 1

Ahl al Gharam is a Syrian Drama, that is currently airing on MBC, weekly. The show translates as the People of Love, or Family of Love, and it portrays stories that are in our Arabic society and culture. The first episode was of a couple going through a lot of trouble on their wedding day, and in the end they end up not getting married. And the most recent one is about a girl that works at a bank and meets the man of her dreams. But he falls in love with her sister and asks for her hand in marriage. These are probably subjects that are encountered a lot through the Arabic World, however I have some critisicms for the show.

Lebanese Movie Help is Cheap!

help poster

The question isn't 'Would you agree to appear naked in a movie?' but 'Would you invite your dad to the premiere of the movie where you actually do?!'
If you're wondering what I'm blabbing about, it's the latest 18+ Lebanese movie 'Help'.
'Help' has a unique story and because of this story it got banned by the Lebanese censorship.
I use the word 'unique' because the story has never been tackled in Arabic movies and I'm hoping it won't ever be tackled, at least in the way 'Help' has!

Movies & Cinema in Saudi Arabia, Inevitable

cinemas in saudi arabia

A few months ago, the first cinema in Saudi Arabia opened its doors for movie lovers.
Well, those movie lovers had to do with the Saudi movie 'Mnahi'! But it's better than not having the chance to go to the movies!
It seems there's no stopping this from coming with full force to Saudi Arabia.
Prince Al Waleed Ben Talal has said that movies and cinema are going to become part of the everyday life of Saudis and it's just the natural thing to happen.

The Saudi movie business has started taking baby steps with 'Mnahi' and will find the support it needs to grow and produce good Saudi movies that will find acceptance and will become part of the entertainment life in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is going to hold its first film festival in May. Impressive, no?

Now i have a bunch of questions for you,
Did you go to see 'Mnahi' where it was playing in Saudi Arabia?
Do you think that cinemas will eventually find their way into the everyday life of the Saudi youth?
Or will this idea wither and become only words in the past?
Do you want to see cinemas open in Saudi Arabia?

What Would You Be?

blue tit

Think good and hard about this question ...
If you could be a non-human creature, what would you chose to be and why?
For example, I would chose to be bird! Why? Because I'd be free, I'd have the ability to fly and I'd have a good singing voice!

How about you?
