i be really sick of these movie talk about the israelo american conspiracy against egyptian and trust me they do not even bother to think about u . egyptian be respect everywhere except in egypt . movie like these only convince egyptian that they be inferior than other people and have only a negative impact . it only accentuate their internal suffering and make them more hostile towards the western world . please stop it . and i be really shock that youssef chahine be that famous . i can not understand why . this movie have nothing special and nothing impressive and wired story and wire philosophy and very dramatical and theatrical performance from all the actor and very basic cinematography . what go on . this old fashioned way and that egyptian filmmaker be never get over it and of make the same actor do the father and son and grandfather and grandson . mercyyy . he try to give the film a hollywoodian look by put a many sex scene a possible even if some of them be unnecessary .
