Yomeddine (El día del juicio final)

Yomeddine probably means Judgement Day. Leprosy (known as Hansen's Disease) is curable; not inheritable; not transmitted once cured; 95% of the population has a natural immunity. The scaring & deformities make it so that many members of the last colony in Egypt, where this movie was made, prefer the security & comfort that it provides rather than leaving. The story, using non-actors, follows our scarred Beshay & an orphaned 10 year old kind neighbor (appropriately nicknamed Obama), as they travel across Egypt by donkey cart; walking; by train; hitchhiking to locate Beshay's family. One moral in the movie is that what's important is our humanity & not material things (something a U.S. political leader has yet to learn).

This is one of the most brilliant movies ever made, especially Egyptian ones. It is so realistic, depicts the real life of those who are underprivileged in Egypt along with the case of his illness which makes it very hard to survive. It felt like witnessing a real scene in life. As if I went on the road trip with them as a Camera person. I can't describe how much this movie touched me and how much it helped me clear out of my thoughts on how the world truly is. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED.

This movie may be one of the best Non action movies in Egypt's history . A tearjerker yet a bit funny . Tackles the extreme issues of Egypt .

This movie is talking about real life story , people who really need help , not just money , but love , people need to know they exist , this movie is perfect , i cryed from start min to last min , i love it <3 really thanks for the director.

An ordinary, simple film which makes the watcher think about vanity of greediness and richness but the holiness of love.
