Toul omry

Although it is a low budget and first -time actors movie but it presents a topic never discussed in the Middle East openly and with courage as this movie did. For the first time, we see an Egyptian movie, with Arab actors that addressed homosexuality and human rights issues in the Arab World. it shows how difficult it is socially, religiously and even security wise to be a gay person in an Arab country. we hope to see more movies, with better quality of course, in the future that would shed more light on such topics. But for Toul Omry, it is the first serious attempt to uncover taboos in a region plagued with extremism. brave work, but needs more professional guidance int he future.

I had seen this when it came out and had not been impressed. The poor production values and pretty bad acting were dire enough to obscure the message that the film was attempting to convey. This time round the film seemed more relevant and urgent due to the present-day kleptocracy of Sisi which has take the excesses of the Mubarak era to new heights of horror. That gay people were not persecuted under the democracy interregnum run by a Muslim party says volumes about the hypocrisy and venality of the current regime. So the film is even more relevant today.

The information on this site says the film was shot on location in Cairo. This is simply not believable. The only convincing outdoor scenes were shot in California of Dalia demonstrating and on anti-war marches. Scenes from Cairo were generic and cut in. When Rami and Atef were supposedly on the banks of the Nile it was clearly a scene shot in front of some primitive green screen affair. Virtually everything else was on a set. Some of these were just awful - the window frames through which Mina spied on Rami were particularly laughable. There was clearly a small budget for this film.

As for the acting oddly the two absolute worst contributors were both Americans - the hotel tourist and Marc who played Karim's lover. The rest of the cast surpassed these two but not by too much.

Nonetheless... the film's message is more important nowadays than ever. Terrible crimes are being committed against innocent people with the connivance and approval of the state. Such a pity that some of the finance came from Zionist sources as this discredits that message - I have already seen derogatory comments about this film alluding to this and exhortations not to believe propaganda. Whatever the motivations of the funders the film was true when it was made and is once more a realistic portrayal of the oppression suffered by LGBT people in Sisi's Egypt. Despite it's faults (and the film is too long) I'll recommend a viewing.

The film's plot revolves around the life of Rami, a 26-year-old gay man, his life in Cairo, and his experiences with his friends and neighbors. All My life has been regarded as the most explicit Arabian Gay Movie and has been banned in All Arabian Countries. Gay Themed Movies Are Banned In Every Arabian Country.In Arabian countries,gay Arabs secretly meet in Steam and Sauna Baths.Thanks To Internet Social Sites,gays now can make numerous friends across the internet.

In All my life,you can see male frontal nudity,and Arabian men making love to other men. Gays will witness the agony and guilt Arab gays face. You will feel with gays even if you are straight after watching this interesting movie.

By the way the movie trailer was previously banned on youtube,but allowed on my space.

This movie is a masterpiece and a must see NC-17 movie for both gays and straight men.

The beauty of this film is not in the quality of acting or production, but rather the plot and issues it raises. Having seen many independent gay-themed films this is the first to my knowledge that brings in an unabashed and unashamed manner gay issues facing the Middleeast (in particular Cairo, Egypt) neatly packaged in a simple yet complex and entertaining plot spoken in the country's native Arabic tongue. The movie also is not only centered around the protagonist, Rami. Rather it introduces several other characters that revolve around him and play an equally central role with each character bringing to light mainly tribulations but also some joys of gay life in Cairo. Not too long into the film and it becomes pretty clear that that this is an amateur production probably done on less than a shoe string budget which is a testament to the courage of the producer and actors in completing this and providing a thoroughly entertaining and expressive film.

All in all. . . two thumbs up!

I don't know why Egyptian President Abed Alfattah Al Sissy is harsh on gays. This movie clearly expresses the sufferings and repressions and regret gay men feel towards other men. You will laugh sometimes and may cry at the agony of gays and gays and women will enjoy Male full frontal nudity and gay love making and all actors are real Muslim and Christian Arabs. Gay and Lesbian suffering in Egypt unite them. The movie was filmed during the Reign of Egyptian President Muhammad Husni Mubarak. Rated NC 17 most probably. See it without your kids.
