Shall We?
Ladies and Gentlemen...This time, the Arabic movie producers have lost it. I've gotten over the fact that there are Arabic remakes of English shows, and stealing some exact parts from the greatest Hollywood Blockbusters to input them in their own movies, and of course adding the "Arabic Spices" to make the scene more exciting, but in fact it turns out to be the exact opposite.
This morning, I was watching TV, and some commercials came on. They showed a trailer of a movie starring Yousra called "Mateegi Nor'os". This caught my eyes. The story was clearly showing that it's the Arabic version of "Shall We Dance?", except that it includes lame, unprofessional dancing. The story is basically the same, except that Yousra plays the role of Richard Gere, and some guy plays Jennifer Lopez. The part where Richard Gere runs after his wife in the parking lot, the same scene happens exactly in the Egyptian movie.
I don't know how they have Annual Movie Festivals in Egypt based on such movies. Oh and another thing I watched on KTV last night. They held some ceremony as a tribute to celebrities in Kuwait and the music sounded so familiar. It was actually the music from the Golden Globes but put in a Kuwaiti rhythm.
I guess we're done with imitating. It's time to innovate.

looooooooooooooooool. Tell me about it! McReemy, There was a slogan that Ralph Lauren used as a slogan for their commercials; it used to say at the end of the commercial "Don't Imitate! Innovate!" In our world of cienema, they've mixed it up and made say Don't innovate, Imitate! THEY LACK THE ART OF INNOVATION!!!!! ACTUALLY THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH IMITATING THE WESTERNERS!!!! No wonder we're so in-advanced as a nation! :P Here are some copycat movies (direct plaigirism!) :
