سكر يا بنات ...A Must See
Sukkar Banat " Caramel " is absolutely a treat for the eye. The colors are amazing and the angles of the Camera with the use of reflections of lights rather than the direct ones merged with the sensual eye of the movie's director: Nadine Labaki brought us this delightful movie that i personally enjoyed and would recommend it to everyone else.
There isn't a lot of dialogue in the movie or incredibly catching phrases, it's more about the picture itself and that's the beauty of such movie.
The lack of a stable storyline or a plot wasn't very encouraging for me at first before i got hooked up and enjoyed this overview of the lives of these women and for a long time i haven't got totally immersed into a new arabic movie. I recalled what i've always felt when watching our great old movies, the magic of the cinema and really " mesh 7ate2dar te3'amad 3eneik "
The idea behind having newly discovered actors to play most of the roles was very smart indeed. It made you feel more connected to the characters displayed. you're find yourself in the movie especially if you're a girl. There's so much emotions that only a woman could absorb well. Sweet and sour is hardly a guy's thing !
The ending was so abrupt which brings me back to the weak plot. The story lacked a climax or a peak in the events, it's merely an intrude to the lives of these women with a very skilled camera and a creative director which makes you forget this weak point and live the experience.
I loved all the characters and the actors playing them but i personally loved LiLi the delusional- probably Alzheimer - old lady and almost cried in one of her scenes that was beautifully and powerfully done. It was so real and i was shocked when i found out that the actress who played LiLi " Aziza Semaan " wasn't actually acting. She IS a schizophrenic whom Nadine kept filming and had a lot of footage of her that she edited into the scenes!
The music score is sensational as everything else in the movie and i loved the two songs which add to the semi-plot of the movie.
The movie made me realize - as a man - what women might be going through because of us basically but to a greater extent what they do to themselves . The demeaning of Women in the whole world is not just a male thing, Women are to be blamed too. It always takes two...
