They removed a main character along with the entire plot. This film has no interstice characters and specialists in closeups of drugs. God Kill The Queen.



These infidels have ruined the holy land, must... CRUSADE by: Crusady Boi

I was worried that much would be lost in adaptation from the excellent novel. This was not the case; the characters and scenes were as i had visualised them.

The acting was good; i felt a lot of empathy towards the 2 central characters ( 3 if you include the dog ) . There was also a little bit of humour, especially in the portrayal of the 'bad' character.

The plot is not bulletproof and totally realistic but then this is partly a fantasy. Jerusalem serves as a good backdrop for though it is a big city, you are always only away from a strange wadi or uncultivated area that is required for the movie.

The flashbacks were seamlessly handled and easy to comprehend.

There was perhaps a short period in the middle of the film where i felt things were dragging on a bit. By the end though i have to confess i was slightly teary and overcome with emotion.

I hope that people not from the local market can also enjoy this film

I don't mind being kept in suspense a bit, but the questions left open produce a weariness after a while and for me a kind of crisis came when the female lead, who was supposed to be a promising singer, turned out to be-- in contrast to what for the purpose of the plot she is supposed to be-- merely mediocre. I lost just about my only reason for remaining interested. Maybe the book carries you along by virtue of the quality of writing, and maybe those who have read the book are carried along through the movie by their prior familiarity with the story and characters. I was pleased to see that eventually the open questions are resolved (and that the promising guitarist sounds a lot better than the promising singer, by the way), but aspects of the resolution were a little hokey.

A great movie!!! Truly done wonderfully. I think the director was able to take the most of this story and make it enjoyable, thrilling and surprising to watch... The story itself was very interesting, realistic and painful. The feelings of those who live in the streets, in their own "world of the streets", was build so well in the movie and you could actually feel like you live in this "world".I think the actors were great and helped a lot in creating the atmosphere around this movie- loneliness, fears, troubles and one big beauty in the middle that is demonstrated through music. Music was the theme of this movie and it was remarkable to see how the music lights the darkest corners. I think the movie had a lot to say about falling into the wrong places in life, as drug abuse and so on. It was exciting to see what people would do for each other and how hope must never be lost. I liked the twists in the plot, and especially I enjoyed the way the two plots were told together side by side. Great movie! I recommend.

Truly horrendous the book was bad but this missed every plot point. by: Just Dont
