Alexandria... New York

This movie is a little dark, literally, or maybe my TV is old. Either way it wasn't something to enjoy visually. I like the idea of the film but not the acting or the dialog between characters in the movie. Aside from the young Yousra, every other actor was just too much drama. delayed facial reactions, silly lines you won't say in real life, and just too much stage acting, maybe what I really want to say, is exaggerated emotions. I like the courage of Mr. Chahine, but I am bored with the ongoing slow paced spelled out emotions type movies. I wish Eyptian movies and shows use better actors, or just stop. The usage of sensuality is probably the only thing that keeps people watching, so basically, it's a bait. Still the movie is important in that it does openly discuss East and West clashes, but I don't like the final song or the underlying emotions/attitude, it's too stereotypical and too cliché'. But that's just personal.
