Years ago after my first visit to Egypt, the University of Minnesota sponsored a film festival of Egyptian made films and this was one among them. Although it features film stars with whom many of us will already be familiar, Irene Pappas, Anthony Quinn and Michael Ansara, it was directed by a Moslem director, Moustapha Akkad, and has the mark of approval of the Al Azhar Mosque and University (the oldest University in the world and an institution noteworthy respected in the Islamic world for its Koran scholarship) .
While it carries a religious message for Islamic people–in fact I saw parts of it again on Saudi TV as fraction of the Ramadan season’s celebration while I was working in Tabouk–it also explains in a sympathetic intention for Western viewers many of the basic tenets of Islam. It is as lively a anecdote in its bear draw as the stories of the Current Testament are for Christians, and it portrays the essence of what Moslems fill about Mohamed and their faith. The simplicity and straight forwardness of the anecdote as it portrays the sacrifices of expressionless people for their convictions and the ultimate triumph of wonderful over faulty will appeal to anyone with a sense of splendid mindedness regardless of ones religious convictions. The light in which it places Christians cannot fail to notice. Mohamed’s more vulnerable followers are told to examine asylum with the King of Abyssinia (recent day Ethiopia), because as a Christian king he was their “brother” and hump by the “book” to protect them from their oppressors, which indeed he does! Nor are the Jews spoken ill of in the epic.
The staunch cinematography is a puny dated, and the record can be a tiny postured, but no more than any other film of the 1960-1970s. How many can sit through a John Wayne western without a tiny smile, whether of nostalgia or of amusement, and yet the color, pageantry and triumph of the obliging guys in the face of blatant ghastly is aloof a treat. The film is a magnificent work, and the myth is absorbing, informative and well worth viewing. Cheerful I finally found it on DVD.
I am not a Muslim, however, this movie presents a very historical and fair narrate of the struggles of Islam and the development of this religion. This is a movie you will bask in watching regardless of your religious preference. I found myself having a mighty greater idea of Muslims and a very deep respect for their faith after viewing this film. I highly recommend it for anyone and all ages. I am very surprised this movie was not a box office break. One of the best I have ever seen……it answers a lot of questions and presents some substantial opportunities for interfaith view. As an American this film was a special “notice opener” for me.
