I'm an Iranian and I have never seen monazaki movies I am impressed by her acting of also the plot was really awesome it was amazing I enjoyed it thank you very much hope to see much more from you guys in the future I love the movie and I will recommend it to everyone I see thank you so much again I hope this beautiful work continues. From the Egypt cinema this is the second thing I see the first one was hashashin which was an amazing TV series I've seen the first season and it was perfect and this is the second one it's actually a movie in movies it's the first one I liked it I loved it actually it was heartwarming.
Mona Zaki never disappoint with her performance, natural acting and impressive outstanding talent, great view and great cast, new vison and great message, keep up the good work. Mona. The only think I would have done differently is that we should've shown why she actually decided to quit her prostitution job and go back to god, they should have highlighted the scenario that lead her to take this decision and become a new person, Mona was and will always be one of the strongest Egyptian actresses and she excelled in her drama movies, Mohamed Farrag surprised me with his acting skills and performance such a great addition to the movie, highly recommended movie.
I'm really surprised that this an Egyptian movie. It really attacks an important topic and one that isn't talked about ever. You can really see the girl's point of view, and how her past decisions changed her life, how she survives, how she keeps fighting for what she's believing in. Mona zaki's performance was undoubtedly her best yet( from my pov). She amazingly captures every moment and gives you the chance to live it with her. As a man who never understood this topic from the girl's pov, I was shook and it opened my eyes to a lot of women's problems in our society. It's not just a movie it's a documentary about our society.
Such a great movie about redemption, and reviews the strength of a woman's stamina doing what she believes even when the whole world is not helping, also reviews how humans aren't completely stable, they want something they say another they do a totally different thing, an amaaazing performance from mona zaki, delivered all the feelings smoothly, exactly the way that anyone would feel in her situation, why we felt so connected with the movie, she's just like us, she's strong at some point, she's weak at another, she's somewhere between at another, an absolute Oscar worthy performance, also great performance from all supporting actors, a massive credit for hani khalifa as he tells the story so smooth yet indirect knowing his movie is made for an adult audience, overall i wish this movie will be translated into asmany language as possible so the whole world can know who mona zaki is, the most talented arab actress nowadays.
Flight 404 is an Egyptian film that has many fans among Arab audiences, but it is unlikely to be a great film among Iranian viewers. In terms of film-making techniques, this movie for Iranians is at the same level as the soaps.
From the point of view of the script, there are no knots or challenges in the film.
The film is about Ghada (the first role of the film), a woman with a sinful background who is on the threshold of the Hajj journey, but problems arise for her that prevent her journey and force her to meet the people she met in her previous life. He had a relationship and became more disappointed with what he had lived. The turning point of the screenplay is Ghadeh's resistance to return to the previous path despite all the temptations and difficulties and his loyalty to his decision for a clean and new path in his life.
The main focus of the story is facing the problems of life and specifically providing money for the operation of Mother Ghada, which is a problem for people living in Iran that we face every day and every hour, and from this point of view, it is not attractive for them.
Some movie critics considered this film as a documentary that expresses the problems of not only Egyptian women but also men, and this is a strong point for this film.
This is despite the fact that the drama cinema in this movie is much darker and biting. Films that express social harm more clearly and bitingly. " I'm Taraneh, 15", "His! Girls Don't Scream", "Leila", "Circle", "The Day I Became a Woman" and... are among these films.
