"HELP" the movie

[King Rami]

i just finished watching the movie, i got a copy from a friend. 1st of all, i would like to congratulate the guy behind it. i like it when you understand everything at the end of the movie (last 10 minutes).

in the beginning everything seems chaotic and non understandable BUT at the same time not boring. you have to watch it till the last minute to get the idea.

another lebanese movie that has nothing to do with war and militias. (Y)

Disgusting movie, set aside all the technical mistakes, the story is really dull, a loooot of things are incompatible, the script is probably 1 page long! The director is just trying to put all lebanese taboo subjects in a movie! You should see the gay guy in the movie, I would have thought he was a great actor if I didin't already know that he was really gay! Many questions remain unanswered! there are a loooooooot of mistakes.

It was a good decision to ban the movie, It gives a very innacurate image of our society and the story is mostly noncense, and for those who are saying that banning the movie is stupid because of today's digital technology, approving the movie would have been giving governmental permession on such rubish to be legaly sold

i have download links , but i am not sure if the mods will allow me to post them because i think it's illegal
and one other thing , i asked my friend to cut the scene where the daughter of antoine andraos is naked , i also have a link
note that the quality is really bad and there's a big delay between the sound and the video

also i must say , movie not recommended , except if u intend to mock antoine andraos

I seriously don't think it is a bad idea to ban a movie just because everyone will want to watch it. It's the human nature when you forbid something, people will want to do it. So it is a form of marketing. I haven't seen the movie but when there is sex scenes in it and you can see their naked bodies, I do understand why it's baned, not because we are a retarted culture but because I dont know if we would like kids of 9- 10 years old seing those movies. It should state over 18 years old or cut the porn/sex scene and they can allow it.

Some other folks were talking about the technology and the internet, everyone can go see it specially if it will be on downloading sites like Limewire

I don't understand what you are trying to say, you are OK to ban it because it doesn't state 18+? it is actually government who rate movies and put PG13 or Adult content, they don't ban automatically. In most other movies they cut scenes and still release it, but banning it is really a bad idea, they banned waltz with bashir, everybody ended up seeing it, they banned Schindler's it became an instant hit.
If the point was to ban the porn content they could have just deleted the scenes there would not have been any fuss about it but now by banning the whole movie, we see at least two people on the thread who ended up watching it even though it is a bad movie.

Read again what I have said, it is exactly what you just said. In addition, it is more a marketing issue to ban a movie or a book or whatever than to legalise it. When you ban something, you will hear about it, people get currious and will search to find it. That is what I have said.

and BTW marc said that the movie contain 4 min of sexual acts!! So why do they want to cut 28 min.
I heard marc on tv and he said that he wont remove any sec from the movie bc this will heart the contex and the story of the movie

Sorry, I didn't read your post before!
The FIRST permit is usually given for the FILMING... after checking the scenario
but when it's filmed, they need another permit!
Now, for the film, I've written this post BEFORE watching it, but now that I watched it... I can say: la ta3mé wala lezzé!! I can accept any erotic scene or any insults if the story needs them but heyk da7chét with NO context, mni7 mana3ou! 7atta nihéyé mech mafhoumé w bala me3na! and killing the twin of the man, adrab! and the gay, da7ché zyédé... if it was little longer with psychological or social messages, it could be too much better! I hated gays more than I felt pity for them seeing this gu/ay
Di3an l kahraba!!
