You Will Die at Twenty

The best reality story i have ever seen, it's about Sudanese man suffering from all the main resources in life

We are spending our whole lives in fear of dying because of all the instability, and by the time it's too late we will realise we forgot to live. The movie looks great and it has its memorable moments - the beginning and ending are both stellar. However, the rest of it was overly leisurely paced and emotionally empty due to the characterization being quite slim.

Synopsis: Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous "coming-of-death" fable. During her son's naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina's child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina's ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan's first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

A master scene in every scene . In a country like Sudan religious beliefs symbols the shape of the daily life .. Muzmail was one of many victims of that understanding . The Director Amjad Abualila used that to express the vivid and clear impact of Souffism on most of the people of Sudan . Even the most educated people also believe in Souffism and it's preachers .

It's a real Sudanese life with a wonderful director

This movie doesn't Just represent sudanese culture in a very unique prospective but it also represent to what extent thoughts can shape someone's life & what a human being life Really means if he lost everything

Highly Recommended
