Short filmTranscript
00:00As a result of two long shows, I, Mohamed Nasser, was able to finish watching the film The Good Life.
00:13I chose two shows because the film is long, 2 hours and 50 minutes, and it hurts the heart and makes the eyes cry.
00:24Last week, I had to split it into two parts because I couldn't watch it in three hours at once.
00:33It's an Indian film, and I'm not into Indian films, because Indian films don't recognize 90 minutes or 120 minutes.
00:44Indian films are boring in three hours.
00:48But I really liked the film.
00:51Very much.
00:53And I really enjoyed it.
00:55And although the film, cinematically, can be boring,
01:01the director was able to make it so that there is no moment of boredom.
01:08And why is the film boring?
01:11Because the film is set in a desert area in Saudi Arabia.
01:17And it's special.
01:19The film is about two simple-minded Indians.
01:26One of them is married, and he has a wife.
01:29Then he gets a job, and he dreams of working in the Middle East.
01:36And in the dialogue, they always say the word Middle East.
01:39They don't say Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
01:41They don't specify the country.
01:43And the film starts with them, as they say, standing at the airport of the Arab country, which is Saudi Arabia.
01:51And they're waiting for their driver to come, and time is passing by.
01:56And they don't know any Arabic at all.
02:01They don't even know how to speak English.
02:05And then suddenly, a Saudi fisherman comes and catches this type of fish.
02:12And he goes back to them and finds out that they don't have a guide.
02:17Or their guide sold them.
02:19So he comes and catches them and takes their passports,
02:22and walks with them until he enters the desert.
02:25He throws one in a corner, and the other one he takes with him.
02:29So a Saudi or an Arab Bedouin lives in the desert,
02:33and he raises a goat or a sheep and a camel for no one else.
02:38And the film revolves around this story.
02:41So you, as a moviegoer, you say, we're getting bored.
02:45You won't find a single moment of boredom.
02:49A single moment, I promise you.
02:51But your heart will hurt.
02:53So this man kidnaps these two men,
02:55and he makes them work in very harsh conditions.
03:00No food, no water, no water, nothing.
03:04And he only works to feed the sheep.
03:06For no one else.
03:08And he takes their passports.
03:10Meaning, they don't have a guide.
03:12And in the middle of all this, on the other hand,
03:15the director, in order to make you less bored,
03:18brings you the opposite of the life of this man in India.
03:22A very simple and beautiful life.
03:25And compared to the desert in the film, in Saudi Arabia,
03:29we see a lot of water in India.
03:33And compared to the very dry life,
03:36which is devoid of emotions, in the desert, in Saudi Arabia,
03:40we see a life full of love and emotions,
03:44between a husband and his wife,
03:46and not only that,
03:48but also between ordinary poor people.
03:51Very simple.
03:53And the life is full of colors.
03:55Flowers, vegetables, water.
03:58Even the actress who plays his wife is very beautiful.
04:02On the other hand,
04:04life in Saudi Arabia is only yellow.
04:07And there is no water.
04:09And the faces in Saudi Arabia,
04:11are ugly faces,
04:13stupid faces,
04:15tough faces,
04:17and the film revolves around this story.
04:19And how this man,
04:20and it is based on a true story.
04:22These are the posters of the film.
04:24I'm sorry, I took some time to explain it to you.
04:27These are the posters of the film.
04:29In a very simple way,
04:31this actor was able to,
04:33in a very normal way,
04:35these are the stages of the actor's life,
04:37these are his stages,
04:39these are his stages,
04:41stages of his time,
04:43when he first came,
04:45which is this,
04:47then,
04:49which is in the middle,
04:51and then,
04:53when he continues,
04:55he will reach this stage,
04:57which is the last one,
04:59which is when he was born.
05:01This is the same actor.
05:03Not only this,
05:05this actor himself,
05:07will experience something very strange.
05:09In the beginning of the film,
05:11there is a lot of smoke.
05:13At the end of the film,
05:15there will be a lot of smoke.
05:17It will be very intense.
05:19It will be so intense,
05:21that I will say,
05:23how did he do this?
05:25Once, I said,
05:27with his clothes,
05:29but there will be a scene
05:31where he takes off his clothes,
05:33completely naked.
05:35You will see the smoke.
05:37Because he was in India,
05:39and he was swimming in the water
05:41In this scene,
05:43I said,
05:45with his clothes,
05:47but there will be a scene
05:49where he takes off his clothes,
05:51completely naked.
05:53He will become a bone.
05:55I saw him like this,
05:57walking like a bone.
05:59I don't know how he did this.
06:01This reminded me of the movie,
06:03The Joker.
06:05How the actor was able to
06:07become a bone on a piece of meat.
06:09You will be bored at first,
06:11but in the end,
06:13you will enjoy his performance,
06:15his expressions, and his acting.
06:17It is very simple.
06:19Not only that,
06:21the actor, or the character,
06:23his name was Najeeb.
06:25He was a Muslim, by the way.
06:27They chose him by the eye,
06:29in the novel.
06:31This actor,
06:33when he goes to the farm,
06:35to the Bedouin,
06:37he will meet someone from Asia,
06:39an old man,
06:41he doesn't know him,
06:43he has been with him for years,
06:45and he will die in the farm,
06:47thrown into the desert.
06:49This actor,
06:51in the movie,
06:53will be like him,
06:55when he stays for many years.
06:57The difference between them,
06:59is that the Indian man,
07:01will give up his fate,
07:03while Najeeb,
07:05will fight,
07:07and struggle,
07:09to get out of this swamp,
07:11and get out with this novel.
07:13The movie is about this novel,
07:15in the days of the goat,
07:17and it is a real novel,
07:19and the author of the novel is a photographer,
07:21and there is a big resemblance
07:23between the author of the novel,
07:25and this actor.
07:27I can call the author of the novel,
07:29but if I call him,
07:31it will be a problem.
07:33There is a big interaction
07:35with him on social media,
07:37and that's why hashtags like,
07:39the days of the goat,
07:41and the Kafil system,
07:43have appeared.
07:45Trends have been published on X,
07:47and Facebook,
07:49and many activists talk about
07:51the brutality of dealing with
07:53foreign business,
07:55and the ugliness of the Kafil system.
07:57And people wrote,
07:59the movie is great,
08:01but I prefer the other angle.
08:03The days of the goat,
08:05like an Arabic translation.
08:07As we can see,
08:09this man wrote,
08:11the movie is great,
08:13and it is a praise of some
08:15Gulf people,
08:17and it shows the Kafil system,
08:19which is a kind of slavery,
08:21and humiliation of people,
08:23and humiliation of humanity,
08:25and it shows the cruelty
08:27of the Gulf people,
08:29which is one of the simplest rights.
08:31This is Khaled Saad.
08:33Isn't this a scene
08:35from the movie,
08:37the days of the goat?
08:59This is a scene from the movie,
09:01the days of the goat?
09:29This is a scene from the movie,
09:31the days of the goat?
09:59This old man,
10:01will die in the farm.
10:03This old man,
10:05will die in the farm.
10:07Because he has been kidnapped.
10:09Because he has been kidnapped.
10:11Because he has been kidnapped.
10:13Because he has been kidnapped.
10:15Because he has been kidnapped.
10:17Because he has been kidnapped.
10:19Because he has been kidnapped.
10:21Because he has been kidnapped.
10:23Because he has been kidnapped.
10:25Because he has been kidnapped.
10:27Even the director,
10:29in his script,
10:31won't tell us how he died.
10:33Because he is less than a goat.
10:35Because he is less than a goat.
10:37In the end, Najeeb will become like him.
10:39In the end, Najeeb will become like him.
10:41He will drink with the goat.
10:43He won't be able to stand it,
10:45because there is no water in the desert,
10:47and the water buys it.
10:49The first scene you will see,
10:51the first scene you will see,
10:53is Najeeb when he wants to sleep in the tent.
10:55And another one will come and tell him,
10:57you will sleep here, dog, in the morning.
10:59And throw his bag outside.
11:01You will sleep anywhere outside in the desert.
11:03This tent is mine, even though it is big.
11:05This tent is mine, even though it is big.
11:07In fact, the film is a disgrace to Saudi Arabia.
11:09And maybe this is the reason why
11:11Saudi Arabia banned the screening of the film.
11:13The film,
11:15which destroyed the attempts of Bin Salman
11:17to improve the image of the Kingdom,
11:19as Hussain wrote.
11:21The life of the goat,
11:23which was banned to be screened in Saudi Arabia.
11:25An Indian film,
11:27which was released a few weeks ago,
11:29tells the true story of a person
11:31called Najeeb, an Indian young man.
11:33Anyway, he talks about the story of the film.
11:35As I told you, Najeeb is very close
11:37to the original image of the hero
11:39of the novel.
11:41If we see the hero
11:43they brought,
11:45this is the original hero.
11:47This is the author of the novel.
11:49If we see Najeeb,
11:51this is his second film.
11:53If we see his second film,
11:55this is his second film.
11:57He is very similar to Najeeb.
11:59Of course, Najeeb is very close to Najeeb.
12:01But if you zoom in,
12:03zoom in,
12:05zoom in,
12:07zoom in,

12:41zoom in,
12:43zoom in,
12:45zoom in,
12:47Why did you ban it?
12:49Because it harms
12:51Saudi Arabia and the Saudis?
12:53But why did you get upset
12:55when you allowed yourself
12:57to imagine the Egyptians
12:59being angry and angry
13:01like the children of Reza 3?
13:03And you used to make Nono,
13:05and you watched a huge production.
13:07And now you are upset
13:09that anyone who tells
13:11a true story,
13:13not an imagination,
13:15do you remember the movie
13:17Nono, which the Turkish Sheikh
13:19wanted to make about an Egyptian
13:21butcher who goes to Saudi Arabia
13:23to butcher the pilgrims?
13:25Let me remind you.
13:27We have an important surprise
13:29with the legendary Ahmed Helmy.
13:31There is one of the movies
13:33that will be released at the end of 2024
13:35and the beginning of 2025,
13:37God willing.
13:39It is a big butcher movie.
13:41It will come to the Kingdom
13:43and the second one
13:45is for old people and pilgrims.
13:47So, let's watch the movie.
13:49It is a comedy movie, God willing.
13:51Nono.
13:53Kareem, I invite you to
13:55cut all the movies.
13:57And I will cut all the movies.
13:59And it turned out that
14:01the Egyptian leaders told us
14:03that you are blind.
14:05Why don't you watch the first movie?
14:07Why is the Egyptian cinema more expensive
14:09than the butcher movies?
14:11We told you, guys,
14:13it is not like the Riz brothers
14:15who steal an hour from Saudi Arabia
14:17and Nono is the butcher.
14:19This is a real movie
14:21about Saudi Arabia.
14:23Saudi Arabia made a problem
14:25with it.
14:27But the movie is still a big attack
14:29on Nono's Turkish Sheikh,
14:31on Ahmed Helmy, and the scene
14:33where he was sitting,
14:35due to distorting the image of the Egyptians.
14:37In fact, when people saw
14:39this movie,
14:41everyone in Turkey was shocked.
14:43As Dr. Mustafa Jawish,
14:45who wrote and said,
14:47the life of the goat
14:49is a disgrace to the people
14:51and not to the Kingdom.
14:53But it is directed
14:55towards a Turkish Sheikh,
14:57the head of the Entertainment Committee,
14:59who brought the Egyptian artists
15:01and bribed them with money
15:03and announced the production of Nono's movie
15:05about the Egyptian butcher using the pilgrims.
15:07Despite the fact that it took
15:09five years to produce it,
15:11it was a response to Nono's movie
15:13which was expected to be a hit
15:15against the Egyptian people.
15:17The movie, The Life of the Goat,
15:19which was watched by millions
15:21around the world on Netflix,
15:23wasted billions of Turkish Sheikh's money,
15:25as Asmat wrote.
15:27Asmat says,
15:29the regime of the bribes,
15:31the regime of the bribes and the bribes of the regime,
15:33this movie exposed the regime
15:35and convinced the people
15:37to watch it on Netflix
15:39and wasted all Turkish Sheikh's money
15:41from billions to beautify the picture,
15:43the picture of the Kingdom.
15:45And it failed.
15:47The movie was a shock
15:49to the Arab and international public
15:51Turkish Sheikh, The Life of the Goat.
15:53India made a movie
15:55which cost, I don't know how much,
15:57and the actors,
15:59by the way, the actors are very few,
16:01I mean, two, four,
16:03five, six,
16:05approximately ten actors.
16:07And they don't have a star.
16:09I'm talking about my opinion.
16:11I don't know any actor among them.
16:13There is no star,
16:15no advertisement,
16:17nothing.
16:19And even the actors
16:21don't have, for example,
16:23a very good actor,
16:25a very good actor,
16:27Ahmed Aiz.
16:29No, not at all.
16:31He is a very good actor.
16:33He doesn't call for boredom.
16:35He is very normal.
16:37He is the best actor
16:39that his wife has ever acted.
16:41Omar, that's all.
16:43Only, no one else.
16:45And Sahra,
16:47and Ma'iz, and Ghanem.
16:49But how many emotions
16:51in this movie.
16:53I'm a volcano.
16:55I've been a lot.
16:57I even sympathized with the Joker
16:59because his relationship with his mother
17:01is very human.
17:03But there were scenes in the Joker
17:05that were like a break-up.
17:07This movie, the life of Ma'iz,
17:09is full of emotions.
17:11One by one.
17:13Let's see what Mohamed Katab says.
17:15Saudi Arabia
17:17spent billions of dollars
17:19on actors,
17:21wrestlers, singers,
17:23actors, cabarets,
17:25winners, the sport season,
17:27to improve the image of Saudi Arabia
17:29in front of the world.
17:31To satisfy the West.
17:33India made a movie
17:35that cost 1.25 EGP.
17:371.25 EGP?
17:39No, I don't mean 1.25 EGP.
17:41I mean, in the end,
17:43the movie is not a decoration
17:45or anything.
17:47It's a desert and a village in India.
17:49That's all.
17:51The group that took
17:53all the actors in the movie
17:55is equal to half of what Ahmad Helmy will take.
17:57Nothing.
17:59No clothes,
18:01no make-up,
18:03no exhibitions,
18:05neither in India nor in Saudi Arabia.
18:07Nothing.
18:091.25 EGP, really.
18:11This movie cost the most
18:13to the director,
18:15to the cabaret, to the hotels.
18:17That's all.
18:191.25 EGP, and it was made by
18:21one actor and Ashim Ma'iza.
18:23By the way, there is a tweet
18:25for anyone who wants to make a movie.
18:27It says,
18:29Turkey Al-Sheikh,
18:31if you make a movie,
18:33you will be rewarded.
18:35The journalist, Sayed Saber,
18:37made a suggestion.
18:39The journalist, Sayed Saber,
18:41made a suggestion to make another movie
18:43of Ma'iza's life,
18:45and Turkey Al-Sheikh will act in it.
18:47But what will his role be?
18:49Let's see what Sayed Saber wrote.
18:51The director will act in another movie
18:53of Ma'iza's life.
18:55He'll give the role of the hero to Mohammad Salam,
18:57and he'll bring in Fouad
18:59and make a bigger role.
19:01And Turkey will play a role as Sharaf
19:03in his movies.
19:05Turkey will play the only Gamousa.
19:07That's the magic that only Ma'iza
19:09but Gamousa can do.
19:11But on the other hand,
19:13there was a strong and violent
19:15defense from the Saudis.
19:17They considered the movie
19:19Islam. Islam? I've seen the movie. It's a two-part film. It's crazy. His name is Najeeb.
19:31He's going to name his daughter, who's this baby, he says to his daughter, what are we
19:35going to call her, his wife? She said, I don't know what to call her, if it's a boy. He said,
19:39no, if it's a girl, we'll call her Safiya. Yes, by God, his name is like that, Najeeb.
19:45He wants to name his daughter, who's still a baby in her womb, he wants to name her when
19:49she becomes Safiya. Where did he get this Islam from? And a betrayal from India to the Arabs.
19:55To the Arabs? And the Muslims. Muslims? Just like what this Saudi page wrote.
20:02The Saudi page, in the name of love, my life is what I want this film to do, to show the
20:06image of the Arabs, Muslims, Bedouins, who are known for their generosity and hospitality.
20:10It shows that the Arabs don't smile when they get rid of their things.
20:14It's like they want to destroy what Islam gave them. Islam? Islam?
20:20Islam is one of the greatest worshipers. Islam is one of the most racist.
20:23The people didn't know purity until after Islam appeared.
20:26How can anyone dare to distort the image of Islam?
20:30He's making a film that doesn't belong to Islam at all.
20:34There are Saudis who are interested in art and cinema, and they don't only beat
20:40the Saudis, but Islam and all its followers.
20:44God cursed whoever contributed to it.
20:47And you love Islam.
20:49Since you love it, did the Saudis who made a film about it,
20:53the Saudi actress or the singer who said, I can now love my late wife,
21:00do you love Islam?
21:02Do you love Islam in Saudi Arabia with your shabby parties?
21:06Do you love Islam in Saudi Arabia with the houses of princes?
21:10Do you love Islam in Saudi Arabia with what?
21:13With the maraqas and the palaces?
21:15And when someone objected that the palaces and the cabarets were in his house,
21:19he was arrested?
21:21Which Islam are you talking about?
21:23The film didn't come on the image of Islam.
21:26I'm talking as someone who saw the film.
21:29I mean, I saw it.
21:31And I saw it with a contradictory eye.
21:33The film didn't come on the image of Islam at all.
21:36There are Saudis who are interested in art and cinema,
21:39and they make a film that is full of hatred and contempt for the kingdom.
21:44Like the rhyme says.
21:46It says, the life of the goat, this film is far from reality.
21:50The amount of hatred and contempt for the kingdom.
21:53The problem is that the novel won international awards.
21:55So, we need to stop all those who are interested in art and cinema.
21:58And put the rhyme aside.
22:00But there were other countries who had a different, balanced vision.
22:04One of them was Hamad, the director and critic of the UAE cinema.
22:09He said that the film is a simple human story,
22:11and it has nothing to do with any political fallacies.
22:13And this is true.
22:14Listen.
22:15Peace be upon you.
22:17I will talk briefly about the new Indian film that was released on Netflix.
22:20We hoped that the film would have been released a while ago.
22:22Its name is The Goat Life.
22:23I made a review of it.
22:24I talked about it.
22:25It is a very beautiful film.
22:26I gave it a 5 out of 5.
22:27I rarely give this mark for films.
22:28As for the comments that I received in the reviews that I made,
22:32whether it was on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.
22:34He said, let's talk about Arabs from India.
22:37Some Arabs said that this film speaks against the Saudi government,
22:41and speaks against the Bedouin, and against the Arabs.
22:43Things like that.
22:44Friends, the film talks about the story of a person who got this situation by accident.
22:49That is, there is a person who does not represent the Saudi government,
22:52or represents the Arabs in general, or the Bedouins.
22:54He is the one who made this mistake, and did this thing.
22:56Why is there no mistake?
22:57Everywhere there is a mistake.
22:59Everywhere there is a mistake.
23:00Everywhere there is good and bad.
23:01But we are not generalizing that this is a matter for everyone.
23:04So this is something that you are generalizing by yourselves.
23:06That the film speaks against.
23:07On the contrary, the film came at the end.
23:08A person was driving a clean Saudi Rolls Royce.
23:11He took this poor person from a place,
23:14and took him to a healthy place so that he could travel to his country.
23:16So this brings a beautiful picture for the Saudi and the Arab people.
23:20So do not generalize this matter.
23:22See the film as a film.
23:23As for the film, if it is true, there are messages,
23:25there are things inside.
23:26We will know this from the agenda.
23:28But this film is not.
23:29This is a human, cinematic, artistic film.
23:31It is far away from political issues,
23:33and issues like this, and heaven.
23:35And this is a very respectful word,
23:37although he came from the UAE,
23:39but it is a respectful word.
23:40Because in the film, when it reaches,
23:42but I do not want to read the number of each film,
23:44because a Saudi will appear in the film in a very good light.
23:46And he will act very well for the Saudis.
23:49And a Saudi person is tolerant,
23:51and respectful.
23:53He will do something very nice in the film.
23:55And there, the Gulf people saw that they must accept criticism.
24:00And that the film is a bad reflection of the reality of the business in the Gulf,
24:04as the Gulf wrote,
24:06Shafi Al-Ujail.
24:07Shafi wrote and said,
24:09Our problem is that we don't accept criticism or reality.
24:11Yes, there are a lot of people from the Gulf who dealt with the immigrants,
24:16whether they were Indians or Arabs.
24:18But, should we generalize?
24:19Of course not, because the Gulf people are Arabs,
24:21and thousands of Indians worked and benefited,
24:23but denying them is not true.
24:25So, the Indian film, Nizam Al-Kafil, came from a bitter reality.
24:29Some Egyptian activists said that the film presents a very black image
24:33for those who want to travel and work in Saudi Arabia.
24:35They said that this has not existed for a long time,
24:37and that the Kafala system has been modified,
24:40and also gave advice to those who want to work in Saudi Arabia,
24:44like what this TikToker, Walid, did.
25:09And the Gulf state is guilty of being a bad Kafala,
25:13or a Kafala that tries to make laws,
25:17and you have a workplace, and you have a salary,
25:20and you follow the contracts that are issued on the power platform.
25:25No, now the situation has changed a lot.
25:28So, what advice do we give when we see a film,
25:30or when someone sees it, or thinks about it,
25:32that he is afraid?
25:33No.
25:34Saudi Arabia is not in the same situation that the film is.
25:37Let's be honest.
25:39I'm not saying this because I'm here.
25:41No.
25:42Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country,
25:44a respected country,
25:46there are laws, there is a system,
25:48there is everything.
25:50God bless them.
25:52But this does not mean that every Kafala,
25:55whether it is a person or an institution,
25:57or a company,
25:58is 100% a man who is not trusted.
26:00No.
26:01Therefore,
26:02when I interview people in a company,
26:05you can read it well,
26:06the offer that comes to you,
26:07you can read it well,
26:08you can read it well.
26:09But the part of slavery,
26:11like in the film,
26:12this is very difficult to find.
26:15In summary,
26:16in my opinion,
26:17when someone sees the film,
26:19which is me,
26:20I tell you that the film has nothing to do with any political or religious beliefs,
26:24or that Islam is accused of anything,
26:26or anything.
26:27But as the Emirati critic said,
26:29it is a human experience lived by a person in this country.
26:33A person can go to Egypt,
26:34and a person can attack him in Egypt.
26:35It is very normal.
26:36What is the problem?
26:37Is this all Egyptians?
26:38Every country has the good and the bad.
26:40And of course,
26:41I am not generalizing what came in the film
26:42to all the Saudi people.
26:43But the bad patterns,
26:45like what came in the film,
26:47must have a stand with it,
26:48from the official sides.
26:50I mean,
26:51from the Gulf countries,
26:52not only in Saudi Arabia.
26:53The Kafala system in Saudi Arabia
26:55is also a very strange system.
26:56It has no meaning at all.
26:58And I have lived my whole life
27:00not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia.
27:01For one reason only.
27:02The idea that someone is going to stop me,
27:04is an idea that I do not accept.
27:07That is why,
27:08I swear to God,
27:09I asked God
27:10not to send me to Saudi Arabia
27:11without Hajj or Mu'tamir.
27:12But I will work in Saudi Arabia,
27:13because as long as the work in Saudi Arabia
27:15is a divine gift,
27:16I will say to God,
27:17don't give me this gift.
27:18I don't want a gift
27:19where I am a slave.
27:21And it happened,
27:22thank God.
27:23God made me rich
27:24from Saudi Arabia and the whole Gulf.
27:25In short,
27:26we are in front of a human experience
27:29of extreme misery,
27:31of extreme misery.
27:33That is why,
27:34see it as a movie.
27:35But this is the biggest response
27:37to all those who saw
27:38the birth of three children,
27:40and Nuno,
27:41very normal.
27:42But Saudi Arabia
27:43made a problem out of a movie.
27:45We are not less.
