"Yomeddine" is a quiet and deeply moving masterpiece.
Its silences speak louder than any action or words.
The film reminded me how cruel the human gaze can be how a single look can hurt more than any disease.
I thank God for faith, for the afterlife, for justice beyond this world.
How foolish we humans are, to judge and reject one another from the very first glance.
This film shows how painful it is to be different, and how much beauty there is in the simple things we take for granted every day.
The most powerful scene for me was the dream scene under the bridge, when Bashay saw himself in the mirror (when he's sleeping), amazed that his face was whole no scars, no deformities.
That was his greatest wish: not money, not muscles, not success. Just a face. Just peace.
The film's beauty lies in its stillness, its raw and real characters, and the fact that the lead actor is truly a former leprosy patient.
The boy Obama was also remarkable.
We need more cinema like this clean, kind, and honest. A true work of art.
If you're tired of empty blockbusters, watch Yomeddine. It will change the way you see the world.
