Abu Saddam

I was very confused while watching this, do I love it? Do I hate it?

I don't hate, but it is somehow full of toxic masculinity practices in a way that made me confused whether it is embracing or judging those.

Overall, that was an enjoyable road-trip with Abu Saddam and the young boy since I love hang-out movies.

It is important to highlight that this film is extremely poor due to the overwhelming toxic masculinity portrayed throughout its scenes. The film predominantly revolves around toxic masculinity, violence, the degradation of women, and audacity. Instead of addressing and condemning such deplorable societal traits, the film showcases them as heroic or admirable.

It is crucial for societies and artists alike to tackle or, at the very least, disassociate themselves from the promotion of such reprehensible qualities. Unfortunately, this film fails to do so, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and contributing to a negative portrayal of women and society.

Overall, due to its overwhelmingly toxic content and failure to address or critique such behavior, I would rate Abo Saddam a mere 1 out of 10.

The movie is about a 24 hour period in the life of an aggressive truck driver and his assistant. The interesting thing about this movie is that there is no pathway plot or end goal for the hero to reach, it is just a 24 hour slice view of his life, which make the movie very unique and special as I have never seen this idea in a movie before. But that doesn't necessarily make a movie great on its own, what increases the greatness of this movie is that it is very open to interpretations (as a real cinema should be), it doesn't give you any direct (or indirect) answers to your questions, leaving it entirely up to your personal interpretation which is amazing and I never had that in a movie before and I have watched over a thousand movie.
