In a chat with my wife last month, I wondered if cinema production in Egypt is following any rules such that the benefit of watching the movies is extended beyond making a fortune for the producer.
In fact, what we see on the silver screen is a mix of a very little idea (the story), obscene words and scenes, drugs, and dirty relations delivered to the audience through favorite stars.
One example I saw this summer is a movie called “Omar w Salma” starring Tamer Hosny, a famous singer in Egypt and Middle East. The story -if there is- is a simple love story between Omar and Salma, both are colleagues in the University. The movie is full of dirty scenes, obsene words (Omar’s father -Ezzat Abou Ouf- is also doing the same thing, just to set the example for his son…). There is a scene where Omar and Salma entered the toilet while his father was peeing …!.

The problem is that the movie transfers these ideas to the kids who will grow and do the same thing.
The message the Cinema is delivering is very importnat and can be considered as an influencer to all (I mean all) audience, we cannot just accept these dirt under the “reality” name. Yes things like that may happen once every million, but conveying it to audience causes this percentage to increase.

I remember I did not see a movie during the last 3 years where the star sets an example as a clever, successful, or making any good thing that you would like to copy or follow.
