Nice film with a strong message. Another point that comes across is the it is the male that determines the sex of the child. So no matter who this man mates with he only produces female offspring. He does not even know enough about human biology to realize that his biology determines the sex of the child not the women he mates with. This has been a problem throughout history.

hi ,
my name is Ahmed . I am the director of the movie…there nothing to say after what Rana said…she proved my point…the woman with the black color was in Luxor in upper Egypt and the skin of the people in this area is darker than the others ...no racism in my idea….actually i have a lot of friends from luxor
and aswan and they didn’t look to the movie that way…also i have several friends from south Africa and their opinion was the same….cause in Egypt we don’t have a color difference issue at all .....i don’t understand why you looked at it that way ....finally the baby at the end was a way to tell the viewer that the male baby he had ..is not his baby…no racism at all… I hope you liked the movie ....and thank you Rana
for the clarification

Guys, I thought it was obvious, if you looked at the background, it changes representing different places from Egypt. Sawa7el, Giza, Cairo, lower Egypt…and from each place he married a woman who didn’t bring him a male…The movie is well done, and pretty funny.
As for the black woman, it’s because this is a Nubian woman they weren’t making fun of the skin color, it’s just that they were trying to show you that the man married four ‘different’ women.
The bad decision is that he was polygamous because he wanted to have a ‘male’ child people! And didn’t stick to one wife and help her raise a family, while each woman loved and took her children in her arms…

هذا هو مستوى تفكير الرجل العربي—لايفكر بتحسيت الوضع الثقافي والاجتماعي والاقتصادي لعائلته والعيش بسعاده والرضى بالقدر شره وخيره—والمتضرر الوحيد في النهايه هو لان المراه بطبعتها العاطفيه تحب ابناءها جميعا سواء اناث ام ذكور
ومع هذا انا بتصوري—ان نتيجة للاحوال الاقتصاديه الصعبه فقد بدات تتلاشى هذه الافكار وبقت فقط بعض المجتمعات البعيده عن تتطور الحياة—فقط احتفظت بها
تقبلوا شكري وتقديري

Well I get the whole point, except for the black. I would love it if that could be clarified! It would help me understand better. All I can assume is that it’s representing skin color? And at the end the man is so mad because the child is obviousy not his. Also, what exactly were these “bad decisions”?

Well Safae,
I understand your point, but this movie doesn’t mean necessary that it agrees with the male treating females like that, it can be just a criticism to reality.
safae • October 18th, 2010
Ya exactly what’s up with the black? I relly don’t see the point at all and I can’t follow the story line. And it seems pretty deragatory and disrespectful that the male can go through females like hamburgers…
not impressed
