One of the most inspiring movies in the history of Egypt

Everyone is talking about the movie from the cinematic face, but none of them saw the real impact of this movie among Egyptian people, everyone believes that this movie was one of the major reasons that made the revolution of 25th January 2011, the obvious contrast in dealing with people whether they are Egyptian citizens or foreign tourists that was shown to people made people realise that they have a lot of lost rights, though there is a heartwarming vibe about Egypt and Egyptian family which inspired them to the title of the movie (Asal Eswed) which means dark honey or (Bittersweet) and that reflects the massage of the movie.

Great and realistic movie!

When I was a child, I thought that this movie was a kind of comedy.. but it appears to be telling the real life of how Egyptians live and what are the differences between them and the other developing countries. Which turned that smiling face into a non-reaction one.
