Ibrahim Labyad

A legendary movie that deals with the life story of Ibrahim Al-Abyad, a young man who lives in a slum village, from the day he was born to the last moments of his life.

Watching the movie makes you see the world through three struggles, the struggle of influence and power, the struggle of love, and the struggle for a living, so what if the three struggles come together in the same person, who is called "abdel malek zarzour " Zeus, who has the influence to oppress all human beings, the drug dealer who can kill anyone stand against him but his heart, which falls in love with a little angel , the girl whom the hero of the film, Ibrahim Al-Abyad, loves since his youth, so the struggle between the king and the slave arises.

The film begins with the voice of Ashari, who is the narrator of the film's story, and he is Ibrahim's only friend, Ibrahim's secret, his companion, and his only supporter in this world that took his father from him when he was young, as well as his mother without mercy or pity.

Ashri is the real hero of the movie from my personal point of view, which was presented by the star Amr Waked. As we said, he is Ibrahim's only friend and is always ready to sacrifice his life for Ibrahim's comfort. Ibrahim works for Zeus as a drug distributor, but soon this partnership ends when Ibrahim learns of the marriage of horrayah to the king. This is after she discovered that he killed her father.

This movie presents a legendary epic about how to confront the king's injustice, and you have nothing but a loving heart and a loyal friend, and some words of encouragement that your mother left you, so what if your loyal friend abandons you, your mother dies, and the girl you love leaves you without Pity, here Ibrahim falls, so he cannot resist these events, as you know that he always stands in the face of circumstances, the betrayal of relatives breaks him more than the difficult circumstances.

I was totally shocked when i watched the movie, i was like, OH MY GOD, is that an Egyptian movie ?! People who went to watch it before i did, kept telling me that it sucks, but actually it made me wanna see it more, and i did, and i loved it. The audience is criticizing this movie so bad saying that it hasn't a good story, u know what they're not totally mistaken in my opinion. i mean the story is not bad at all, and it's not that great, but u don't have to come up with a great story to have a great movie. Millions of other factors play a big role in judging a movie. For me the acting was superb, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz is back to his best, though i didn't like his overdid religious jokes in the movie, Ahmed Elsakka was Brilliant as he is LATELY, Hend Sabry once more proves that she's the best Arabian actress nowadays, and last but not least Amr Waked who was the biggest surprise as he did put in an incredible performance and the most reliable one. The direction by Marawan Hamed was exactly what he needed to do after his Masterpiece, YACOUBIAN BUILDING, he truly made us live the movie entirely, he did an amazing job shooting the fights, the best in the Egyptian history.

IT IS BLOODY LIKE HELL, IF U R NOT INTO THESE KINDA MOVIES U MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT I REALLY THINK IT IS WORTH WATCHING.

Hello,

While the movie is full of bloody scenes and extreme violence; It still shows some very true aspects of life in underground Cairo. Dealing narcotics, murder crimes and more of what a tourist would never see in a trip to Cairo. Love, on the other side is very obvious in the movie between Houriya and Ebraheem; The characters played their roles in a very professional way making the viewers live each second of the movie as if it was going in real time. It is a great movie if you want to know what happens in Cairo "below those bridges" when you travel from above..

I watched this movie on a very late time, three years after being released in fact. Ibrahim, the ideal hero, was living with his mother and saw his father murdering without any ability to prevent the killers. However, his mother has died leaving him alone within a bush of slums, nearby Cairo. The big guy, Mahmoud Abdel-Aziz who dressed in black, loves the girl that fallen in love with Ibrahim (I remembered Maria Magdalena at the moment). The story line is simple and ended with killing Ibrahim after being betrayed by his closest friend who took a few money in exchange of trapping Ibrahim at a coffee shop. Many friends said that I'm exaggeratedly interpreted the story, but I told them that the producing company is Good News, the Aramaic name of the New Testament!While I loved the cinematography, music, editing of that movie, I see Marawan Hamed, the director, a just clever director, not a creative one.

Wonderfull & amazing drama,Mahmoud Abdel Aziz Played his role so well.
