This is How Movies Should Be Made
The Worst Film Ever
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Majid Majidi made another phenomenon movie! This was great!!
Before I watched this film, I thought one should be really expert in historical facts to build a historical movie which I realized was wrong. It's a film without even a plan! which contains just miracles every Iranian has heard of. Maybe Majidi was exited about the technology of special effects and wanted to show every miracle he has heard. And the rest of the film is about everyone is attracted to Muhammad without a reasonable reason while he is just a baby or little boy. I was wonder if Majidi has read even a book about Muhammad. But in the positive sight I thought the music and special effects of the film was really good.
This film is full of inspiration. I love this movie because of it good aspect of prophet Mohammad and Islam that it have in it. This film is very good historical an inspirational movie. When i went to watch this movie i was shocked by the special effects of the film specially the part of abraha attack and ababil birds and the part that prophet Mohammad was born this parts was very wonderful and inspiring. And at the end the music was very beautiful and it was very wonderful.it was a film that should be produced to show the Islam true face. More films about Islam show people more about Islam and inform them more about Islam actually these films should be too exact And very true.thanks
This film is a 40 Million Dollar worth of humble and decent Iranian effort and a reply of truth in the face of those who have been imposing publicly their sinister crimes against humanity by every mean at their disposal under the pre-context of Hypocritical Western Standards of Freedom of Speech in order to desecrate the Divine pearls, infallible personalities and Prophets of Almighty Lord such as Jesus son of Marry and Muhammad (PBUH) son of Abdullah (Servant of Allah), the divine light in the image of man loved by 1.4 Billion living Muslims and other humble human beings of the world. Bravo!!! What an answer to hate and trickery!!!!
