    It is a good film But.................................................................

    This film is a very good Directed film compared to other Arabic films and the most amazing thing in the movie which i didn't expect at all is the acting of actors and actress it is really amazing and the decoration and dresses is very good speacialy things which show Palestinians life BUT............. it is still has a certain disadvantage the film is sooooooo long although it could be shorter lots of scenes could be shortened or even canceled also there is some events which is a little bit tricky so Concentrate , and never get asleep :) now we could compare this movie to other good Arabic movies first of all i have never seen a movie on the Palestinian life before there may be but i didn't see it so i think this film writer has chosen the right subject . so my grade to the movie is 8 from 10 which mean it is good film my recommendation for the movie go directly to the cinema and see it thanks

    Absolutely beautiful, an EPIC. This is a must see for all

    Absolutely beautiful, an EPIC. This is a must see for all. It's about history and the plight of the Palestinians and how Zionism played its part. It's a true love story that will bring smiles and tears to your eyes.

    The best way to describe this movie is to compare it to Ararat. What Ararat should have been for the Armenian genocide committed by the Turks, this movie is for the Palestinians. But this movie, The Door To the Sun, is about 10 times better then Ararat and much more significant as a historical film that will not see it's equal for many years to come.

    This movie is one of the best films I have seen for a very long time. From its music to it's poetry. From its scenery to it's cinematography. From its dream sequences to it's vivid portrayal of reality. It's is absolutely magnificent.

    Highly recommended for all ages. DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE

    Amazing epic, a must see

    This a very beautiful and very personal account of a story of a nation. Nasrallah did a great job. The dialog, imagery, costumes, acting are superb, touching and very human. Filmography is very good, excellent director of photography.

    The fact that it contains two parts is a very subtle distinction between how two generations view the nakbah.

    Life in pre-nakbah Palestine is both idyllic and realistic, the depiction life afterwards is very expressive.

    The film is a tour de force and emotionally charged.

    Two thumbs up!

    A Film to remember

    Bab el shams , i think it's a charming film about love story between man and a woman , between people and their stolen homeland . let's see the relation between the blind man and his home , how is younes work to make his homeland free and how did he love his wife ,the little girl who come a wife of younes how did she grow up and lost her home and return to it .. the film maker yousry nasr Allah make us feel about the people, their life , how they feel when the lost their home . i think it's very important film not just because it's a good film with a good acting, music , picture, etc.. but because they give us a film to make us remember what some people want us to forget .

    Very interesting movie dealing with some very sensitive issues with a very daring handling

    The history of a nation , lies in the memories of its heroes... An amazing journey through the memories of a dying fighter , taking us through the Arab Israeli conflict , shocking details of a history that most of us r desiring to know about , a very interesting movie dealing with very sensitive issues with a very daring handling , I LOVED IT!!! i would like to comment on the great performance of Rim El-Turky in the role of Nahila the fighter's wife , & also the escape scene was fascinating , & i can't ignore the music as it just puts u into the mood.... i just wish to see this movie winning some big award in some international festival , as it deserves it! u should see it to know for yourself...
