Years ago after my first visit to Egypt, the University of Minnesota sponsored a film festival of Egyptian made films and this was one among them. Although it features film stars with whom many of us will already be familiar, Irene Pappas, Anthony Quinn and Michael Ansara, it was directed by a Moslem director, Moustapha Akkad, and has the effect of approval of the Al Azhar Mosque and University (the oldest University in the world and an institution powerful respected in the Islamic world for its Koran scholarship) .
While it carries a religious message for Islamic people–in fact I saw parts of it again on Saudi TV as fraction of the Ramadan season’s celebration while I was working in Tabouk–it also explains in a sympathetic map for Western viewers many of the basic tenets of Islam. It is as bright a epic in its contain arrangement as the stories of the Fresh Testament are for Christians, and it portrays the essence of what Moslems bear about Mohamed and their faith. The simplicity and straight forwardness of the memoir as it portrays the sacrifices of dumb people for their convictions and the ultimate triumph of estimable over base will appeal to anyone with a sense of gorgeous mindedness regardless of ones religious convictions. The light in which it places Christians cannot fail to trace. Mohamed’s more vulnerable followers are told to discover asylum with the King of Abyssinia (current day Ethiopia), because as a Christian king he was their “brother” and high-tail by the “book” to protect them from their oppressors, which indeed he does! Nor are the Jews spoken ill of in the myth.
The exact cinematography is a minute dated, and the fable can be a tiny postured, but no more than any other film of the 1960-1970s. How many can sit through a John Wayne western without a dinky smile, whether of nostalgia or of amusement, and yet the color, pageantry and triumph of the apt guys in the face of blatant execrable is unruffled a treat. The film is a attractive work, and the sage is enchanting, informative and well worth viewing. Tickled I finally found it on DVD.
I am not a Muslim, however, this movie presents a very historical and lawful record of the struggles of Islam and the development of this religion. This is a movie you will luxuriate in watching regardless of your religious preference. I found myself having a worthy greater plan of Muslims and a very deep respect for their faith after viewing this film. I highly recommend it for anyone and all ages. I am very surprised this movie was not a box office fracture. One of the best I have ever seen……it answers a lot of questions and presents some enormous opportunities for interfaith opinion. As an American this film was a special “inspect opener” for me.
