Hassan and Marcus ....Best movie i have watched yet

(download)

As a person that lived in a country that inhabits more than 14 sects i understand the deep roots where the religious conflict nests. Sadly People don't seem to realize that eventually Humans we all are and remdemption we all seek. Throw away the crust and look within the curtians to view the core. Both Islam and Christianity held the same core. The same God, the Same message, and the same preech. Young as i was , i got burned many times from ignorance and predjudice. The movie Hassan and Marcus was one of the best movies i have watched yet. The movie held a strong religious message where a Muslim Shiekh Mahmoud and a Christian Theologian Boulous swap lives to avoid religious extremits that threaten their lives. The roles were played by both Ahamad al Shrief and Adel al Imam, both huge and well recognized actor of the Eygptian and Middle East Cinema. Although the movie was attacked because it ends with a love story between the kids of the Shiekh and Theologian, i found in it the serenity i seek in my everyday life. In my opinion the movie must have been portraiyed with nothing less than what the director  have provided because people must become aware of the religious swamp they live in. The actors have aced their performances realizng that they have implented roles that belong to religions they have not beared since birth. Adel al Imam and and Ahmad al Shrief have manifested a lot of thier personalites in the roles they have played. You can tell that each actor is tired of the extreme intolerance of igonrance and tyrany. The movie protrays how both religions bear hate for the other yet what was intresting to me is how the producer created the image of the two similar religions in habits and methods of living. Also, i believe the director was very cleaver in showing the viewer how both sides are very ignorant. The movie was light on my heart because it had a sense of innocent comdey, though the subject was a heavy burden.
