In the name of Allah most Gracious most Merciful
I just finished watching the 'freedom writers' movie. Initially I was only planning to check on this movie but in the end it hooked me into my seat. Watching this movie makes me think about few important things which I consider crucial. Well, at least for me.
I think the director, the casts and everyone behind the scene had done their job well. I want to touch on one thing that caught my attention. Although it was only for a short moment and perhaps not everybody noticed it, I realized that the students when they went for visit to the museum, it was actually for the 'Holocaust" victims. For those who did not know the true story of the holocaust victims will actually sympathized these Jews who were forced and even killed to leave the countries they were living. However, whatever the Nazis did to them cannot be compared to what they were and are currently doing to the Palestinean people whom they are still trying to obtain the possession of their so called 'promised land'. STOP. I am not going to comment on this further for fear of diverting from my original points.
My points are how these Non Muslim directors were able to convey religious messages or to influence the audiences subtlely/indirectly through films.
My next point is, why aren't there any of such films from Malaysia?
Hmmm, Iranians directors can win international awards with the female casts still protecting their aurahs and even with such simple message like shoes. Malaysian films from my point of views are still commercially orientated in which it is for profit based as well as to satisfy this world of hedonism and jahiliyyah.
I am not against films because I think that films are very powerful media to convey the messages of Islam and its purity be it subtle or direct. For now films like 'syurga cinta' or 'syukur 21' are good starts and I am hoping that more will come in the futures with better scripts, casts, stories, and directors.
ps: If only I am not future doctor perhaps I will consider being an Islamic actress. Well, you know sort of a trend setter. Hmmm
