Cinema and" God"

Egypt, the Islamic country since 1400 years ago, becomes invaded by a phenomenon called "Al Aslama" which seeks to isolate Egypt Artistically. In order to totally destroy our art and take us back to the underdevelopment and regression crisis, it started by imposing new restrictions on all sorts of art pretending that it doesn't match with our religious morals and laws. I decided search for the movies that their writers had presented God in personal as a key engine in the events, how was he portrayed and what were the issues imposed in such a brave experience. All what I fear of is preventing these movies from being displayed and prosecuting their writers for heresy and infidelity.The first movie "Kalb El Leil"A story for the great writer Naguib Mahfouz who is accused of inciting immorality and the writer of "Awlad Haetna " the most controversial novel in history of Egyptian literature. This novel wasn't published on the pretext of changing the history of the prophets and presenting "El Gabalawy" the novel hero who dies at the end as "God". "Kalb El Leil" is a new vision for the grandson who studies at "El Azhar" university following the footsteps of his grandfather presented as "God". Afterwards the grandson "Farid Shawki" decides rebelling against his grandfather "God", that reason that ruins his entire life. We can see that the director Atef El Tayeb has clarified the idea with a very impressing way; he showed us a scene where the grandson entered his grandfather bedroom and gets surprised from its lightening as if it is the heaven.The second "Al Bahs An Sayed Marzouk"The movie Screenplay and dialogue is by great director Dawood Abdel Sayed. It revolves around Yousef's(actor Nour El Sherif) simple life that gets interrupted after meeting Sayed Marzouk "Aly Hasanein" who seeks to kill him. Along with the story events Yousef keeps on running away, the matter which is usual in Dawood's movies. Leaving us in a long journey searching for God, Dawood teaches us that reaching faith to connected with effort of discovering the world not only staying within the walls of mosques.The Third "Souk El Motaa"The movie is directed by Samir Seif, Screenplay and dialogue by the screen writer Wahid Hamid. The story begins when a suspicious deal drives the hero Ahmed (Actor Mahmoud Abdel Aziz) into jail. After finishing his period of injustice imprisonment he got a financial compensation form the gang for years he spends in prison. However, he becomes a different person incapable of cooping with his life. The film deals will lots of issues related human being and the changes life imposes on him.The last movie is "Ard Al Khouf"Dawood Abdel Sayed, the most interested person about the matter of faith and the relation between human and God. He presents for us Yehia (Actor Ahmed Zaki) the decent police officer who lives among drug dealers in "Ard Al Khouf". After the retirement of his leaders he stands alone in this isolated land. In this movie God wasn't directly characterized but presented as the colonel who used to send him letters and advice him. More over the film dealt with the matter of seduction through the famous apple scene.In the previous paragraphs I exposed four influencing movies which discussed faith in different ways; none of them insulted "God" on the contrary, they attracted our attention to some important issues in life affirming the importance of art in our life to lead our way.
