    Important Film

    This is an excellent film, dealing with the issue of homosexuality in Egypt. It touches on this issue from multiple angles (social, religious, etc...) revealing just how complicated this issue is. It shows married men dealing with this issue (on the down-low), it shows how some gay men are comfortable with their homosexuality, it shows how some foreigners view Arabs as "exotic", it deals with some of the misconceptions about gays, etc... It gives an insight into the level of desperation and oppression of gays. All this being said, there are plenty of hilarious moments in the film. Sure, the film is low-budget but it's definitely an important contribution and a courageous attempt at dealing with this issue. I understand that this film came about from grass-roots efforts by Arabs in the US and that the money for the film was raised through donations.

    Great Adult Egyptian Gay movie.

    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.

    I'm not gay,but this NC-17 Banned Egyptian Gay Movie Is A Masterpiece.

    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.

    A must see movie

    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.

    Brave and poignant film

    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!

    • Trivia
      The ex-Mufti (head of the clergy) of Egypt, Sheikh Nasr Fareed Wasel, issued a fatwa (a religious decree) in June 2008 asking to burn the movie, stating that "these films are the gateway to debauchery, to committing that forbidden by Allah and propagate deviant social behaviors." 'All My Life' is the first film to unapologetically tackle homosexual subjects in the Egyptian cinema.

      Mark: I want to leave, and I want you to come with me.

      Kareem: I can't just leave. This is my home. I love it, and...

      Mark: And what?

      Kareem: And I can't let those bigoted right-wing closed-minded people win. And if we abandon the country, the ship will sink.

      Mark: Maybe you can do more good away from here. Where you're not all tied up and muted. You can't speak out, you can't act. If you do, you'll be thrown in prison. And then what good you'll be able to do?
