Typical Western stereotypical theme
The acting was well done but I was disappointed once again at yet another movie that tries to make Islam look oppressive and the Western way liberated. Can anyone make a decent film that doesn’t portray this stereotype? Still waiting……..
Tried to come in with an open mind; worse than I expected – Orientalist
I kind of knew what I was getting myself into when I walked in, but I was still curious since the director had a hand in Ramy. Man it was hard to watch. That is not an exaggeration. The premise really struck me as Orientalist and an almost fetishization of Muslim women – a trope that has become all too common in cinema. I had hope that the movie would, at least in some subtle way, buck the trope and lead us in a fresh direction but my hope was repeatedly crushed throughout. Rather than any subversion to the trope, it just indulged in it. Beyond that the film itself was quite average, definitely would not recommend spending money to watch this. Its frankly slow and boring, its hard to get through and by the end you don’t really care what happens. The entire second half would need to be completely redone. Its like the director really just wanted the premise and didn’t really care where the film went from there.Skip it, you’ll regret taking the time or money to watch.
