David & Layla and other stuff
A while back it was the topic of kurdish movies, so who rememebers this one
David and Layla
Story synopsis : kurdish girl falls for jewish american in new york. Culture clash gala
I remember when this was going on in a forward a few years back: the newrozfilms site had the script written and asking for ppl to do the roles of leyla,her brother, some gulf businessmman who leyla was supposed to marry.
But I didn't think the movie went through cos' I never heard of it afterwards. And the girl that plays layla is the wife of Dylan McDermott.. very nice!! Not sure where she is from but probably persian according to the name and the story is based on a true story
Not sure where this movie is available but check out the reviews on imdb
Probably has a better chance of being classified as a kurdish film then the others
Mainly cos it's mostly filmed in america and not in countries that are so over-possesive where you can't take a dump in without them claiming its theirs
Hehe though the reactions to Hiner saleem's Kilomete Zero were funny... they went out of their way to classify it as Iraqi (except elaph because they're uber-cool) but
then a week like the same newspapers were like WTF this movie insults what we stand for (cos of its extreme bashing of saddams regime, the middle eastern mentality and the director constantly saying it was a country put together by outside foreign forces).
Anyway this claiming nonsense is done by the same ppl who would go apeshit if i were to say something like divine intervention was an israeli movie. But then oh i forgot one set of rules for themselves and entirely opposite one for the rest of the world. I mean seriously if my zionist-appeasing booosh-loving mentality can see the difference betweeb the two why cant the ever patrioitic truth-loving group see that
Is Iraq really in a place to put out a movie anyway... so far it looks like it's split between ppl who think haircuts are haram (sinful) and another who think chess is
And anyone there with a spot of non-religious creativity has to watch out for himself
PAH i say... its not that i am anti-iraqi or anyhting just asking to put credit where its due.
anyway was checking the comments page and ther ehave been some great movie ideas here that i put in the forum
Also another comment on not letting me add what i want to the template
