Arab talent continues to reach the world, the two directorsAdel Al ArabiAndBial FalahThey are of Moroccan origin, and have worked together on many international films, the most important of which is the film “Bad Boys” by international actors Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, and recently participated in the work of the great Marvel company with the film “Batgirl “.
Added to the list are the heroes of the series “Moon Knight”, which has received many nominations for important awards, in which the Egyptian actor Khaled Abdullah, the Egyptian actress Antonia Salib, the Palestinian / Egyptian actress Mai Al-Qalamawi, who in turn he also participated in the “Ramy” series for the Egyptian actor and writerRamy Youssef, Which has tried to tell the story of every Arab living in the United States of America, and it’s a comic series, and all its heroes are from the Arab world, and with Ramy Youssef’s creativity and ability to send messages strong and smoothly veiled, it has achieved success and wide fame, even globally. Of course, we will not forget the actor’s successRami MalekIn all his works, in particular “Bohemian Rhapsody”, in addition to the speech delivered on the occasion of the award of the Oscar, which is among the four major American awards for theatrical arts and entertainment, he spoke of his Egyptian origins and the title of the first displaced Egyptian son to receive an Oscar. We cannot forget the Egyptian actor Mohamed Karim, who participated in works with the international superstar Nicolas Cage, and recently with the film “A Day To Die” with the star Bruce Willis, and the heroes of the American film came to Egypt, to celebrate the opera, alongside Mohamed Karim.
In the Arab world, on the other hand, there are many series and films produced in series, which have seen the participation of some international celebrities, among which we remember the Egyptian film “Karmouz War”, in which, in 2018, the English actor Scott Vi participated Adkins, protagonist of a series of films, “Boyka”, to repeat this experience again this year with the film “Muttrah Matrouh”.
Foreign actors were not the reason the works reached the world, but other Lebanese and Arab works have achieved global success, including the Lebanese film “Capernaum”, as well as works widely circulated in the Arab world, including the Jordanian series “Al Rawabi School for Girls”, and the Egyptian series “The Choice”.
So, we have the minds of unique companies and we have great artists, so what is stopping the Arab world from producing more international works?
Arab works have recently begun to imitate the West, but they rarely succeed, because they try to convey ideas literally, instead of inventing new ideas that convey the reality of their surroundings, as love stories are always the main focus of the story.
Will theater and cinema in Lebanon and Arab countries see a qualitative leap, a change in their sectors and compete with global business?
