Amazing movie

This movie is amazing. The historical Islamic events have been presented very clearly and accurately, and linked to the present in a genius way. The message has been delivered. We now know the real Islam, not the fake one we used to hear about.I recommend it!

Fanatical reviews

The scores are proof of fanaticism and sectarianism. What a currupt intolerant lot you all are. If you can't take different interpretations of a faith then your faith is ultimately tyrannical and doomed.

Reconciling the 1 Star reviews with the 10 Star

First things first: The 1 star reviews are from Sunnis and the 10 stars are from Shias. The polarisation is because of the events that are portrayed in the movie which conform to the Shia point of view of early Islamic history. Both are reviewing it emotionally, not critically.I won't get in the debate of which version of history is correct but the movie itself was not very good as a movie. The writing was just awful but that was bound to happen because it wasn't written by a professional. The movie was about the events immediately succeeding the death of the prophet and not about lady Fatimah per se as the name suggests. The worst part of the movie in my opinion was that there was no context for someone who is not already familiar with at least a little bit of history. So combining the name of the movie (lady of heaven) and the lack of context would leave a non muslim very confused.Visually the movie was captivating and the soundtracks had their moments. This genre doesn't get much attention in the movie world so I'll give it 5 stars for the attempt.Frankly I can understand why the Shias are so happy and the Sunnis are so triggered.From the Shia point of view: It was a rare chance of expression of their views which have always been suppressed in the Sunni majority muslim world.From the Sunni point of view: It was an affront to their sanctities and uncalled for.Question: How do you debate a topic as polarising as this? Leaving historical accuracy aside, I think this movie was a cheap shot by the Shias. If you want to resolve a conflict you sit down and talk, you don't throw jabs and cheap shots at the other side. The Sunnis being the stronger side historically are to blame for not providing an atmosphere conducive to friendly debate. You can't just ask someone with a different opinion to roll over and die. Times have changed and either you'll learn to coexist or you will all become a part of the greater Israel project. The choice is yours.
