Moroccans invited to go to Mars via Nasa.

Moroccan immigrants are everywhere on earth but not on other Universal planets .Now that everybody has the right to sign in to go to Mars via Nasa. Moroccans are invited by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration to record their names for future "Spatial Hrig".We may log in to Nasa's Science laboratory rover in order to get familiar or close to strange creatures that we call Extra-Terrrestres.Yet, some artists dream to go to Mars only to sing about love, others like myself want to see the magnificence of Allah’s beauty which remains eternal and the third ones want to make movies in slow motion, genre Mars Style. Good Luck.

Spatial Hrig : Intelligent Immigration.

Azazil by Youssef Zeidan,a delicious novel for future cinema.

Youssef Zeidan is an Egyptian writer, whose faith is Islamic.But, he happens to write a great novel based on truthful events about Christianity and its orthodoxy. His novel called « Azazil » literary meaning the Devil, awarded internationally this year 2009, talks about an Egyptian priest who travels from his native land to Jerusalem and else where in order to meet other priests to talk about theology; Jesus and his birth as a man but not as a God .This work signed by Youssef Zeidan makes controversial debates in the church of the Orthodox in Egypt and also in Rome.


There are great movies based on novels that talk about the church still make hot controversy around the world namely “I love cinema”, “Davinci Code”; “Il Nome Della Rosa” and of course our interesting book “Azazil” which is a delicious book to devour, because Youssef Zeidan, within his highly poetic and beautiful style of writing, succeeds to seduce his reader not to put his book away.

Maalouma Ben Midah ; a sweet voice of Sahara.

There is a famous saying in Maghreb that says if you want to charm people of north-africa,you just bring them Maalouma Mint El Meydah in order to enchant them "Habibi Habeytou". In fact, this lady, having beautiful Saharian charm, can deeply move people to blissful moments.


Maalouma is a Mauritanian singer who becomes the first parliamentary lady releasing an album. She surely charms her fan with her sweet voice that has mysterious tone and intonation; the secret of this is her mixing up Ray music with Mauritanian folklore using all modern musical instruments.

Maalouma Mint El Meydah belongs to an African country called Mauritania which is is named after the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.

Gran Torino, a stylish technique of film writing.

Gran Torino is another magical movie made by a great actor and filmmaker Clint Eatwood.Some critics say that this movie is about the new age of America, some say it is a cinema of Barrack of Obama; whereas others state it is a new genre of drama movies that is targeted to hit box office in the sates. I think this movie simply belongs to an intelligent cinema remarkably made by a master of filmmaking called Clint Eastwood.

It is true that we have missed to watch good films coming from the sates, although Gran Torino shifts to the genre of realistic films. The movie is a 2008 American drama film directed ,produced and starring by Clint Eastwood.Its story talks about a Korean veteran haunted by memories of the war conflict. “A racist Korean War veteran living in a crime-ridden Detroit neighbourhood is forced to confront his own lingering prejudice when a troubled Hmong teen from his neighbourhood attempts to steal his prized Gran Torino.”


The leading role chosen by Clint Eastwood is Walt Kowalski who has a beautiful car called Gran Torino planned unfortunately to be stolen by Hmong neighbors and precisely by a shy Thao Vang Lor (Bee Vang). His feisty sister Sue (Ahney Her) succeeds to be a friend of Mr. Kowalski who in turn becomes nearly a member of Hmong .Lately in the movie, he heroically dies for them.

What strikes me most is the final scene when Mr. Kowalski prepares himself to revenge his neighbors. Technically speaking, Nick Schenk,the screenplay is intelligent to make us thought that Mr. Kowalski is going to revenge his neighbors by using all reversed techniques like for example asking his intimate barber to borrow him his razor and the locking up young thomg into Walt ‘s house to prevent him to do any tragic mistakes .All reveals a brilliant style o film writing. We have the impression that the protagonist is going to shed blood through an unpitiful armada ,but in fact, by our surprise and deceit Mr. Kowalski is killed and therefore this latter was preparing to die may be to get rid of horrible images of his past and also for his principles to die as a man.

"Remoune Treaty", the Reunion of Al Maghreb Al Kabeer in Oujda.

< We call it “Remoun Treaty» because it is symbolic and ideal may be to unite all Maghreb countries into one .Why Remoun? In fact, Ahmed Remoun is an artist of the ninetieth century who has lived in Oujda; a northern east town of Morocco whose borders are with Algeria. His grand -son, Abdelkader Remoun called proudly by Algerian intellectuals, Romaman, is still fighting in Italy for a better life that people of Maghreb Al kabeer should have and enjoy like all other countries. Primer things urgently scheduled to the people are democracy, justice and of course no more coercive governance.


a href="http://www.elwatan.com/Histoire-de-la-revolution">


In 1896, Mhammed Remoune wrote a classic song, genre El Malhoun mingled with beautiful “Kwafi” verses called Kanouna.Already aired on SNRT ex-RTM in 1983,this song was praised by Moroccan and Algerian tv spectators.Some intellectuals just like our honorable fatima Mernissi asked media to redifuse this song in which Ahmed Remoun described magnificently the beauty of women .Eventually this song is about a man whose sacred heart falls in love with a woman who walks graciously in an Andalusia garden found may be in Oujda.




Oujda was once thought to be the capital of Al Maghreb Al Kabeer by Moroccan and Algerian nationalists. Indeed this city has not stopped to deliver resistants, intellectuals and nationalists for both countries Morocco and Algeria. In fact,North-African people has not forgot the distinguished nationalists called Group of Oujda, born in Morocco naming for example Abdelhafid Boussouf, Houari Boumediène, Bouteflika and Ben Bella and more. They have not also forgot Abdelkerim Al Khattabi,the symbolic leader of resistance and “Al Haraka Al Watania” the national movement of Morocco spearhead by Allal El Fassi and Mehdi Ben Barka whose one of its dream is to see Al Maghreb AL Kabeer strong and united.

« Basta » with killing Mehdi Ben Barka.

Basta is an Italian word meaning literally enough. Yes, i have chosen this word in purpose to title my article, because this word was almost the last word uttered by this assassinated figure and also I feel deeply angry about the neo-killings of our charismatic leader ,Mehdi Ben Barka.Indeed I have written “Our” because simply this man belongs to people and exactly to Moroccan memory . He is so loved by simple people in Morocco that some macbethian politicos still want to ‘commit crimes’ against Mehdi for the benefit of ‘some elections’ that can not even refer to Ben Barka’s unfound “tomb” let alone serve this people.

Now that so many people know the truth, the fact that Mehdi Ben Barka remains ‘Monsieur Le President’ as he was called either by Fidel Castro, Mao tsi tong, de Gaulle or even by some Palestinian friends, other political figures in Morocco dare to profane Ben Barks’s tomb using all ugly words that exist in the Moroccan politics, hoping to get rid of this name which ironically becomes eternal in the breast of every Moroccan . So, please enough with buying and selling cheap political thoughts and enough with killing people whose epitaphs can not even be found.

Mehdi Ben Barka is a popular figure in the Moroccan politics and mysteriously becomes more popular in his death. Mehdi used to belong to a political party called ‘Hizb Al Istiklal’ which has become USFP; recently made concessions with former king of Morocco, Hassan the second, to govern Morocco (see alternance). Unfortunately this party has sent its people to interior exile .I believe it has killed this man twice by nailing into Moroccan politics Machiavelian phraseology called constipated mentality. Because Moroccan press has taken the place of nearly all political parties, I will not be surprised that these same parties might do again some ‘dirty works’ to gain “Popularity” which has disappeared from the dictionary of its “fighting”.
We will not be surprised again if Mehdi Ben Barka will be killed by Mossad, CIA or other secret services whereas his family and his Moroccan people can not even trace his epitaph just to read peaceful words upon his soul .

The powerful image through Al Jazeera Channel.

A nation without memory is nothing. This is a heavy conscious thought that the people of Morocco and its government are always discussing it seriously .It is true that local journalists are in some extent feel free to use their pen to tackle touchy subjects that in older times namely during years of plumb these same journalists would think twice to write, however freedom of speech still remains an unaccomplished job that many are asking to fulfill its complete mechanism into a dynamic, awaking yet fragile country called Morocco.



Al Jazeera Channel has done it again .I mean another scoop. It is about a program called “Shahidun Ala Asser” animated by Ahmed Mansur that presents a political prisoner; Ahmed El Marzouki who has revealed to Al Jazeera viewers every detail with brilliant precision and description of hellish times that he has endured in Tazmamart; a secret prison in south-eastern Morocco at the Atlas Mountains. The program becomes very popular not only in Morocco but also in the Arab world, because it introduces people that are considered persona non grata, exilers and sometimes political opponents usually rejected by their regimes.



Ahmed El Marzouki, a special guest to “Shahidun Ala Asser”, has made controvecy in his country because he dares to tell the truth which is a will considered by his Tazmamart mates, an act of courage and honor. People of Morocco are deeply shocked by El Marzouki’s announcements and this makes civil society organize seminars, movies and debates to find a lost memory of a nation which is still looking for itself within tradition and modernism.

Sufism within music in Fes.

Dikher through the heart is the most exquisite and secretive way to communicate with Allah, dikher has eleven rules:

1- State of pure ritual obtained by ablution “ablution erases sin”
2- Fluffiness of praying of the two raka àt.
3- Orient oneself towards Qibla by positioning your body in a solitary place.
4- Pressing your position to the opposite one that you usually do for praying.
5- Asking Allah for forgiveness “ Astirghfirullaàh”
6- Reciting “Fatiha” one time, and Sourate Al –iklas three times.
7- Close your eyes, press your lips and tie up your tongue as if you eat it with true calmness. This act helps you to chase strange thoughts that come through your vision.
8- A spiritual act called “ Epitaph attachment “ ràbi-tatu-l-qabr- means the consideration of death : you see yourself dead, washed ,wrapped into shroud; once the death ceremony is about to finish, you see yourself taken upon a tomb ,your family and your friends are gone leaving you all alone ,then nothing can be in your side apart from your good deeds.
9- To link yourself into a spiritual direction “rà-bitatu –l – murshid” .In this act, the disciple directs his heart towards his master’s heart, and keeps his image into his consciousness, even though his master‘s absence.
10- Concentration of all body senses by orienting all your powerful perceptions to Allah
stating “you are my goal and your satisfaction is only what I ask”.
11-Waiting for the “eventual” effect called –ghaiba- “ecstatic fainting”.

Happy Arab day to Al qods Al Arabi.

Arab streets consider Al qods Al Arabi as a newspaper of dignity and pride speahead by a palestinian figure called Abdel Bari Atwan, born on the 17th of february 1950 in Deir al-Balah in Palestine.


No matter how hard some constipated mentalities have worked to destroy this respectful newspaper, well read through out the Arab world, Al qods Al Arabi still continues to look for truthful events and informations in order to edit them for people, beautifully analysed before the eyes of weak arab regimes and Nazis Isrealis governments supported plainly and secretively by the west.


Today Al qods Al Arabi celebrates its 20th birthday and still writes smart articles edited by courageous journalists who usually tackle touchy subjects of a wounded world called Arabs. In my country, it is sad to hear from time to time that some journalists are given bribes to keep their thoughts hidden.However,there are others just like our modest newspaper , Al qods Al Arabi choose to fight for the truth and rightfulness.

Titre du film : HASSAN ET MORKOS
Interprétation: ADEL IMAM – OMAR SHERIF – LEBLEBA – MOHAMED IMAM
Scénario : YOUSSEF MAÄTI
Réalisation : RAMY IMAM
Durée du film : 120 minutes.


SYNOPSIS FILM : HASSAN WA MORKOS
Il s’agit d’une comédie satirique, l’histoire d’un prêtre chrétien et un cheikh musulman dont des menaces de mort les obligent a ce que chacun se déguise dans le personnage de l’autre sans qu’aucun d’eux ne dévoile à l’autre la vérité de son comportement. Le cheikh se fait passer pour un prêtre et ce dernier pour un cheikh. Lorsque contrairement au dicton, l’habit fait le moine et le cheikh, cela peut amener à de drôles de quiproquos. Le récit du film, comme une plongée au sein même de ces deux personnages, crée une structure de fiction et cinéma vérité.
Le Cheikh et le Prêtre attaquent sur tous les fronts, prêchent la cohérence, la tolérance dans la foi musulmane et chrétienne et tirent une sonnette d’alarme pour avertir des dangers d’une dérive extrémiste qui se fait menaçante, et tend à s’ériger contre le progrès de leur pays en même temps qu’il sape toutes les valeurs de tolérance, de paix et de cohabitation.
Que de belles images chargées de symboles et de signification, qui représente musulmans et chrétiens a la face du monde, main dans la main, unis et solidaires , façonnant ensemble, dans une œuvre commune, leur action en faveur de la paix , la cohérence, la tolérance et la compréhension entre les peuples.

The secret words of love.

Nessma is an Arabic word gently breathed very often by a gifted poet or Azzajal.This word derives from beautiful dunes and wild climates of silent Sahara. Arab cinema “see Chadi Abdessalem’s movies and also Moroccan movies” have not denied to mention this sweet word either uttered shamefully by a lover” see famous verses written into Malhoun by Ahmed Remoun «والعاشق قاتله حرام " "or by an orator ( see Ahmed El Maanouni’s film “Alyam, alyam ” ) .


Smart Moroccan writers like Fatima Mernissi whom I have the honor to refer to her wonderful book on love and its mystery “ l’Amour dans les pays musulmans “,has endlessly kept writing amazing books about women and men referring to their dignity to be respected ,to love and to be loved . Being myself a lover and because my readers from over the world are eager to know about Arabic culture, here in this context I mean my Moroccan one, I have republished Ibn Al Hajala’s fifty words of love because it is public and meant to be known for everybody as it is mentioned by Mernissi herself.Therefore, I think that Fatima will appreciate what I have done, the fact that I have willingly put publicity to her book within my weblog .I know things will work out very well because it is all about love and a message of love to the people who love just like our handsome writer Fatima whom I have been told that she is a great intellectual having a big heart and a lover too.


May be in Sahara,love is much stronger and mysterious than other places in the world. Lahssen Badis; a Moroccan Azzajal ; born in Errashidia which is a magical town situated in the south of Morocco, known of its huge raising sun that comes out from golden dunes, would tell us more through his craft about love ( see below the secret of words of love that inspires our Azzajal.No doubt ,native of Sahara, this has great impact on Lahssen Badis as it has on many mysterious writers like for example Antoine de Saint-Exupery whose works remain mysterious but eternal . Antoine admired too much Sahara and no doubt he was inspired to write great art through his vivid imagination .What strikes most is that Antoine and Badis have something in common ;both men have no doubt seen magical beams of light in the sky through flying because they were simply pirates .

Arab culture in general is based on poetry see classical “Souk Al Oukad” where in that time of pre-Islam, multicultural poets from all over the tribes and cities came to Mecca just to enchant and obviously to show off their brilliance of writing poetry.Poets then, stated to listeners exquisite words that affect their souls and praise hearts of Al Assiad .That is why, Azzajalin and poets enjoy to use within their art, verses of love that is eternal in the human breast. By the way, Arabic language has about fifty meanings of love in the Kamuss. Surely, Poets manipulate these rich synonyms in their works so well that no barrier; soldier nor any gate of Palaces will prevent them from penetrating.


Western cinema also refers to this word “see the dying protagonist in that movie ‘The English Patient’ written and directed by Anthony Minghella or through cinematography that describes beautifully nature of Sahara ( see Davis lean’s movie ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.However,too many western movies shot in Sahara mainly in Ouarzazate, still focus on shooting funny films that are unfortunately ideological or anti-Islam ,ignoring of course the beauty of Sahara that God has given,read Juan Goytisolo and Edward Said works .

The beginning of the death of Moroccan festivals: Teteoun film festival as an example.

Mediterranean youth are fond of cinema more than cinema-goers. No doubt, Teteoun, a beautiful Mediterranean city also called “white pigeon”, has shown through history that it is able to hold burdens of film festival which has breathed its 15th candle this year .Yet, Teteoun suffers a lot to get movies from several countries and the fact that it has scheduled Spanish cinema as special guests for the last minute, has raised many questions .This is of course a mysterious affair that only Ahmed Housni, the director of Teteoun Film Festival and his team can unfold hopefully.


Teteoun film festival has only scheduled one Moroccan movie.Housni,the director of the festival ,argues and emphasizes that the goal of the festival is to open space for Moroccan youth .He wants all countries to participate in his festival which has scheduled 80 long-featured movies and 34 film documentaries.


Too many cinema-goers wonder why Moroccan movies are rejected unrespectfully in festivals knowing of course that Moroccan people pay to realize such events. .Any way, there is something fishy as Shakespeare says .The president of the festival ,now ambassador of Morocco in Rome, ,Nabil Ben Abdellah is busy now to support Italian grief because of that ferocious earthquake that hits Italy recently . Teteoun film team seems to be nervous at first because it does not know what to do. Most film directors wants exquisite hotels and comfort and besides their copy of movies should not be lost as exactly happened in other Moroccan festivals like The International Film Festival in Salé badly organized by its spearheade, Abdellatif Assadi.




Only official media is present, but majority of free media is not welcomed let alone bloggers and cinema-goers.Budget is not sufficient and can not cover all the necessities of the festival, one local journalist states .If Teteoun film festival can not bear to invite intelligent cinema ,its film directors; producers and free media.Don’t we think that it is the beginning of the death of this festival ?

A message for change to Barack Hussein Obama.

My name is Allal el Alaoui .I am a blogger and cinema-goer.My dream is to see the world united and everybody smiles again. I have written a project with the help of my colleagues and friends.

My initiative tackles a noble goal that gathers two gigantic dreaming companies, Hollywood and Bollywood, into a glittering and yet artistic night where the world enjoys a wonderful meeting between stars and super-stars, actors and actresses in order to serve global peace without referring to any geographical space nor any ethnic, religious and political status, but instead this show or event relies on the mutual respect between people and dialog of cultures.

Now, we have Barak Hussein Obama, a dynamic president who is very keen, in my opinion to change the world .May be the east and the west could be joined at least into one night when we get fervent smiles that we have lost recently. So, if you could help me to make this event come true, please do not hesitate to do so even by telling your friend, institution, or parents.






Moroccan native allal-cinemagoer, whose blog mostly discusses cinema, has a message about the arts for the candidates:
...because of the dangerous change that our world is going through especially America's values and its famous civil rights are now at stake and most important we are going to have a new president who might again intensify war around the world, I just want to say that whoever win the battle to Washington Dc to become the president of The U S A ,Hollywood should reconsider its policy [and] produce movies of great talent based on dialog , love and especially altogetherness, rather on discrimination, xenophobia, hate of Arabs etc.. .

Talking digital age in Rabat

In 2006, at the Renaissance café in Rabat which is a closed cinema theatre now, I and Razak ,an engaged writer,Mustapha Hairane,journalist and photographer ;El Khammar Essafi; talked about our digital age in relation to movies and electronic writings called Blogosphere. We have talked about successful digital films like Abbas Kiarostami‘sTen, and Michael Mann’s Collateral .we have also mentioned mediocre and good movies produced by CCM or SNRT because these governmental institutions have now sophisticated digital tools to produce movies such as Avid softwares, Kinescoping machines, and recent HD Cameras.



We mentioned the inspiration of the red city Marrakech to some renowned creators and the fact that Marrakech was once visited by Bill Gates, this mysterious city inspires this genius engineer by its beautiful sights and icy mountains. Bill Gates,therefore ,is called proudly in Morocco Al Haj Belghit;a close name to a honorable intelligence domestically ,may be,during his touristic visit to this city, he was inspired so much that he invented intelligent tools for the personal computer revolutions .This big event breaths softly into the souls of intellectuals, writers because it succeeds to further governments from intervening the businesses of simple people besides it imposes its heavy weight of secretive surveillance that is usually practiced by non-democratic states such as our country .This Big Brother policy is unfortunately used in the states itself. Here, I wonder why can not Arab Intelligentsia help to spread its culture either via media ads or hacking ? I know that Arab Encyclopedia is now on the market, but many people can not have it.



It is obvious that the Internet becomes a Greek agora instead of souk de Okad in the Arab world namely in my country. Too many web sites and blogs are created and taste of getting more informed is undefinable.Indeed this powerful instrument becomes relevant to many such as exilers, journalists, writers and freedom of information seekers. Maroc Telecom,a powerful media source at home, asks too much money to provide help for users or web new comers. I presume Bill Gates will laugh on this deal because it exploits his tool for financial reasons. However, that time, Digital culture invades our behavior as much as our values, and modifies our relation to reality.” We were really amazed by the use of mobile cells, emails, PCs,, video games, YouTube and our fidel researcher “Google” is always answering our questions that we displace on its engine .In fact;Google was and is our cultural modern culture, although we sometimes are skeptic whether its information is true or false because of the infiltrating the American intelligence agencies .



Culture of constipated mentalities begin to be more narrowed by the explosion of information and cultural blockaders, linguistical agents and authorities in general become worried by this new age of free information .The west is still compromising to liberate it to the world, even though UN wanted to intervene to govern the internet but The United States of America and Europe refuse this thinking because apparently they are scared that authoritarian regimes take over .

I think it is time for the Arabs mainly ,Grand Maghreb to take actions which means that people have to get up and cry for their rights as once it is sung by The unforgettable Rasta man, Bob Marley. We are pleased to know that some Algerians cry out either from Algiers,Rome (Abdelkader Remoun) or from Paris in order to have a democratic state without being governed by mafia-like people. The Battle for democracy becomes a must for these countries named above, although its governments spread culture of fear and oppression.



In Morocco, We are happy to see journalists and bloggers supporting democratic associations and free pen writers like Mohammed Erraji,Chakib El Khayari, Hassan Barhoun and more others… It is obvious now USFP, the Social Union of popular forces, have lost that honorable position among its people of pretending to be democratic after its long faked “battle” for democracy. Instead this political party of the third world activist Ben Barka has sent its people to interior exiles and indifferences. .Therefore, we will not be surprised if this party is totally abandoned by the people that badly scorn this political party due to its unconvincing programs, and its very old fashioned leadership. Even now its charismatic leader, Ben Barka is getting less unfortunately loved because of that political system called "out of order policy " that USFP has shown during its alternance prior to the death of king Hassan the second.






In Grand Maghreb, freedom of speech is not yet happened and many fans just like journalists and writers would love to see this beautiful thing becoming real even though some countries like France and U S A is not giving any help nor publishing truthful reports of what is really going on. Thanks to the net which becomes wildly utilized,blogs and sites will be multiplied just to protest against coercion of Maghreb governments.




There must come a time when we sit down and talk otherwise the gap between the state and people becomes wilder and who knows when the reunion might be again. On this occasion ;we feel deeply sorry for that Tunisian Zouhair Yahyaoui who will always be remembered among Tunisian and Maghreb activists as someone who had sacrificed his life for the struggle for freedom of speech.



I understand that young people born after the nineties of the last century; have greater advantages to speak computer languages rather than us; take for example my little baby Rania who keeps calling me Mama and Papa to her mother at the age 7 months . Now being 13 months, incidently, she has mixed all the two names and calls me O Bapa,is if Rania has been influenced by the headaches of Obama elections,by the way Obama answers emails which is a thing that even one little responsible in Morocco would not be pleased to do if he already knows how to run computer systems.


Phonetics instead has nothing to do with HTM, CSS or IPaper languages that the net is basically relied on now.Languistics are different in tones and intonations than the computer ones .Who knows one day we see computers speak their own language derived of course from mother language of today’s and consequently they put men into slavery just like the story of Planet of the Apes. Computers might then give orders to cyborgs to destroy humanity from earth.Then,the game of digital age will be over.

Al-Ghazali,a light of intelligence seen by Ovidio Salazar.

Al-Ghazali, the Alchemist of Happiness is a beautiful film documentary directed by Ovidio Salazar. It is true we live in a confused age where almost humanity can not know how to distinguish between good and evil .Yet, movies like Al-Ghazali erases some questions of our intellectual age by refreshing our memory that there were in the past some thinkers who have lived through hardships and difficulties just to again peace in searching Allah (God).


In fact, this film already mixed up with academic interviews from Iran, England and America points out how blissful is the truthfulness of Allah and that the Almighty can be reached by spiritual practices just like Al-Ghazali did in his time. Man is born with AL Fitra (instinct) to go down to the profoundest abyss in order to find himself and to come back with an idea to remember that there is only one truth which is Allah, our Almighty who is worth worshipping.

Ovidio Salazar’s cinematic techniques are much convincing as far talking about documentary film making especially he has not hesitated to go to Tus, Khorasan, Iran in order to be more realistic where Al-Ghazali is buried .He tells Al-Ghazali’ story through narration and fabricated dramatic scenes. The search of truth seems continuous by Al-Ghazali whose taste of knowledge is so vast that he leaves his family, his Khalif,( supreme authority in Baghdad )his properties and his country in order to find Allah.

Nowadays, apart from intelligent movies that we watch from time to time either in festivals or in hacked DVDs ,Hollywood is still bombarding us with worthless artificial and violent movies that we are manifestedly fed up with especially now that the west is still eager to continue his continuous and ferocious fight against Islam via means of image destructions like cinema .This west itself has unfortunately denied that Islam has once breathed gently into the soul of Europe in order to be civilized (see Averroes,Ibn Sina Ibn Arabi …) .

With this genre of movies ,we hope that the world shifts 180 degrees to Al-Agl ( reason ), beauty and intellect rather than hate and indifference and the discourse that the west controls itself and anything foreign to its atmosphere is barbarian and savage, reminds us in fact of its uncontrollable launching bomb on Hiroshima and its unpitiful torturing of innocent souls in Guantanamo Bay.I think I myself have not controlled myself because of the 21 first century burden and atrocities that I still have to find relevant in the teaching of my master Al-Ghazali .Yet peaceful mind is quite reachable as long as there are non-arrogant people who reject dictatorship in their “Nitham-Al Hokm” ( Way of Governing ) and thanks to Allah , it seems that there are other people who have courage to produce via cinema other people ‘s beautiful lives even if they are seemingly“enemies” .

Unfortunately because very few cinema-theatres are still closed, I have decided to watch Casanegra on DVD at home but not on silver screen cinema theatre which is a thing that I have felt sorry for .Sorry Nour-Edine.I assured you I have not hacked your movie, but somebody has given it to me raw and unfinished ‘ non-étalonné” to watch it .Apparently, your film has moved me a lot because it is one hundred percent cinematic (see Moroccan and Norway money ) this co –production has made things easier very seldom for a creator to work and that also explains why your films has reached a nice level in cinematography where you have used wild angle a lot as if to reveal your intimate love to this cosmopolitan and yet giant city called Casablanca .This movie has made brilliant box office in Casablanca itself which is quite normal through good performances of new actors such as Adil and Karim and let alone Benbrahim whose powerful presence is remarquable .But anyway, i have good news for you. I think Casanegra is an intelligent film well directed by your vivid imagination and your skillful hands.



As I have said before, although I am not a Casablanca man, I feel much moved by some beautiful dark scenes. This reminds me of German cinema, very expressive and pictures are much more in silhouette. As a film-goer I know what you wanted to say because you have started your movie all in black as if you want to tell us that this is a dark city and yet it is beautiful. I like also your characters starting with our beloved Benbrahim and of course Adil and Karim, the two boys who have been well directed by yourself.



The story is about two mates who share friendship and hardship altogether. Karim recruits children to sell cigarettes and dreams to be respected within his circle. Adil wants to go to Europe in order to find paradise and he would do anything to find a visa and go to Malmo in Suede.



I also know one thing is that Moroccan viewers would hate themselves because of the vulgarity of your style language that you have well used in your sequences of your movie .But, I think I consider your style as avant-gardist because what we have seen nearly thirty or forty years in Moroccan cinemas through out realistic European and American cinema is the same use of slung language of the street .Moroccan cinema-goers will get used to this language step by step.That is a something that I assure you to be happening very soon .So let’s go to Casanegra and see ourselves through this beautiful story written by Nour-Eddine lkhmari.
