Anne ya da Leyla

This movie looks a little bit "uncomplicated" at first sight, but it is not that easy. It criticizes the degeneration of the modern world with a strong language. Criticizers of the criticizers of the modern world will think, that it is one of the other middle-age movies. But this movie tries to emphasize something: The ideas of Platon appear when we fall in love (platonic love). Falling in love requires a perfect object and its consequence is moving to the spiritual perfection. This is why in the original story Majnun doesn't recognize Laila. She says to him: "I am your Laila. Why don't you recognize me?" And he answers: "If you are Laila in deed, who is the one in my heart? If the one in my heart is Laila, who are you?" This is a platonic thought about love and has to be esteemed highly, which the movie tries to represent. On the other side we see the modern life and its people's degeneration..

One of the many problems of the modern world is, that it isn't in love with the other side anymore. On the other hand it cannot get separated either, because it is impossible. So the crisis begins. Metaphysics are tried to get avoided. Religion, virtue, love are being carried into the emptiness of relativity and scepticism. This movie emphasizes these points by reflecting the contrast between the old times and the modern times. Our Majnun symbolizes the old times, purity and love. Laila symbolizes the modern world, rationality, degeneration and impurity.

My final words: It is worth to see.
