Blue Elephant novel re-Egyptian novel for the cinema after nine years since the film The Yacoubian Building, a distinct return to see her novel of the most important and most beautiful novels Was introduced during the last five years at the hands of the creator Ahmad Murad I will start by talking about the scenario because Murad could formulate a novel scenario in Very tightly managed through which to be familiar with the most important and accurate details of his story did not prejudice The aim of the novel or its meaning, but was able to see him improve his idea and drafting Joomla talk In a remarkable and highly proportionality with language Senymaúah introduced pursuant creative Extremely difficult and new at the same time the Arab cinema in general. Marwan Hamed skillfully and intelligently transfer what he wrote Ahmed Murad on the silver screen and in a manner Unprecedented in terms of output Senymaúa interested Marwan careful attention personalities Graphics and gave a very impressive scenes in the safe also took all the representatives in the image More than wonderful came in the film moves between the development stages of discovery revives The fact of what could be the most beautiful and Omtana really all interestingness in the game camera And focus on the idea of ​​body language with all the characters, and that point is calculated for Marwan It's a very conscious way out to prove that he is able to portray the idea of ​​the writer in a manner more than Wonderful and there was a focus on the body language added a lot to work also added Marwan lots and lots of places Pachtaarath smart imaging especially those places Collected between salutes and structures which add atmosphere is very compatible with the nature of the film And those checks will find that even considering accessories Nelly Karim came very appropriate To the work environment as a whole Kareem Abdul-Aziz: intelligent artist you can change your skin in a blue elephant and made personal New and different from what presented before and I was able to play a role brilliantly and intelligent and there I can not forget the scenes puzzled salutes in front of himself in front of the situation and the constant focus In the language of the body all around .. trying to discover the truth all the time .. I understood Rashid greets well- presented and the performance is remarkable too Khaled El Sawy: as usual surprised and enjoyed the personal Sheriff Maher Kurdi does not fit Performance of someone else ... someone else perform Khaled Sawi film at least in magnitude for The performance of Anthony Hopkins ... Looks sharpness between the eyes at times and calm at times .. and those who Checks will find that the voice of Khaled El Sawy was changing between scenes noticeable change .. Scenes were beautiful and exotic state of cohabitation and manufactured for the personal Vgesdtha Screen astonishing performance and terrifying. Nelly Karim: embodied the role of Ms. Lubna thin beautiful manner quiet and sophisticated Very able and portray the feelings of those beloved and highlighted perfectly in the scenes at the summit Romance brings to mind the beautiful romantic time Lebleba: about three scenes but Lebleba professorship in her performance and her impressions Own and know how to use coded by personal performed. Mohamed Mamdouh: I tried too much to imagine during the reading of the plays the character as possible Sameh Zidane and after I saw the film I did not see you .. provided the most appropriate doctor vindictive Wondrously silly and made him once he overlooks the screen without speaking personal As grim picture Ahmed Murad in his novel. Darren Smith - Mohammed Shaheen - Shirin Reza Abdatm in very few scenes but you You have made them memorable sights and even printed in the viewer's mind forever. Hisham honest: the case of realizing the subject prior to the submission Hisham always music as Did before the peace and the snake Tito and the sleepless nights and Abraham White and thieves In KGL Toe and more recently in the seven commandments ... I see the Blue Elephant In tune Music is very appropriate for the work and add music atmosphere vague sense of Azad Movie scenes. Note: There is one scene I had hoped that the film will be a car accident scene And the death of Yahya wife and daughter .. This was the scene will add a lot to figure Yahya Because it is the basis of the problem and was able to cream in his narrative of the incident sweetheart Lubna to arrive Scenes within the same salutes and makes you feel, and its sense of Palme. Each greeting and appreciation for the makers of this wonderful work and I see upscale response to be considered Egyptian cinema and put back on track after a recent decline For years.

This is one of rare times I attempt to a write a reviews on IMDb .I consider myself an extremely demanding customer (Movie Watcher) born and raised on some classic American as well as Egyptian classics. Great movies of all times from The God Father all the way to Lord of the Rings and The Matrix!! This movie has something very special and I reckon sooner or later America will adopt that same story based on the best-selling novel by Ahmed Mourad (Al Feel Al Azrak) translated into English as The Blue Elephant and most people who are about to watch this explosive roller coaster are in for a real treat as the movie is head casted by Egypt's and the ME arguably most popular and charismatic star of his generation Kareem Abd Al Aziz and Directed by the genius Marwan Hamid who almost 10 years back had his directorial debut directing the all time Egyptian classic The Yacoubian Building rated 9.3 on IMDb just a year back. The Blue Elephant is a tense physcological thriller with intense horror that will take you to places never thought possible on the Egyptian screen thanks to an exceptionally good story line based on the best selling novel (The Blue Elephant) which made a huge stir in the market when it was released and now enter the movie that thankfully does the book justice. The movie is backed by an excellent script and presented very smartly by Marwan Hamid yet the massive surprise lies in the finale which turns the movie into a different genre all together!! All in all this is a must watch movie for any nationality and one that compliments the all time legendary Egyptian cinematography which not many outside the Arab world are too familiar with yet this movie brings back Egyptian cinema with its long history to its true size, a history that goes back to the 1800s yet the West and America never managed to understand nor appreciate Egypt and why it is popularly dubbed (Hollywood of The Middle East) as Egypt is by far the Arab World main Cinema venue, in addition to Music, literature as well as being the Media Hub appreciated and idolized by millions upon millions in the Middle East and some parts of Asia including Iran. Those who have grown up watching Egyptian movies and TV series's and even replicating Egypt's Arabic dialect which is commonly praised as the most popular form of Arabic in the Arab World yet with all that history and legends the West came only to know Omar Sheriff and lately Amr Wakid which features alongside Scarlett Johansson in her recent flick (Lucy)

first ..... i'm a book worm and i've read the novel year ago and seriously it was an epic one so , when i heared that mar wan ha-med the director , Kareem abed alaziz the actor and Ahmed mourad the writer are working together to to make it a movie i was so excited to see it and i've waited so much to see it , eventually i saw it today and i'm still not believing that it's an Egyptian movie . the cinematography ,sound effects,graphics and directing were amazing , so it was an epic adventure and it's an epic movie that i highly recommend . the thing that i mostly admire in that movie that it's talking about things in our heritage , legends that we know and will fear .
