Beauty and the dogs – 2017 – Tunisia
as usual, when I watch movies from Islamic countries, which,
for some time became rather frequent, my first impulse is to kiss the Romanian
soil, where, for better or worse, the leash is a bit longer and lighter, at
least for women.
the poor priest with his “beast” was denigrated for nothing,
because this condition is still valid for women in Islamic countries.
(recently, in Romania was a big scandal because a Christian
priest told to a Romanian woman who wanted to marry a Muslim that women are
considered “beasts”, by men, there)
Amra and the second marriage – 2018 – Saudi Arabia
after my stomach cringe eases a bit, I can also think at
other aspects, as, in case of Beauty and the dogs movie, THE COURAGE of the
main character, a young woman.
the movie is based on true facts, a young woman, raped by
two police officers, must find justice in the very same night of the crime, exactly to the people from this institution
and more, exactly at the precinct where the two are working.
what she has to confront? well, once, the typical attitude
towards women, of the Islamic men, and then, the typical attitude of the
position, applicable in all countries this time, power abuse, evidence and
testimonies manipulation, victim and witnesses intimidation; what people will
do for a simple paycheck? and yet, the sincere and honest ones, can understood
whom they really serve and can choose morality, ethics, in exchange of a false
financial security.
Love crimes of Kabul – 2011 – documentary – USA
we have another typical aspect, too, with the specific
context noticed here and in the movies from the images, guess who was merciless
and cruel with the girl, no other than another woman, which, even if she was a
police officer, she also was a woman in an Islamic country and for sure knew
and lived the bitterness and torment of the life there.
as in the past, the guardians of the plantations slaves, who
were also slaves, were treating their brothers worse than the slave owners, the
same with the Islamic women, they treat worse than the men their sisters, maybe
younger, more vulnerable women, or it’s just the fact that sometimes they get
to grab a bit of a power…
I was sure that it won’t be a happy ending, that she won’t
make it alive, and yet…she didn’t give up and the two were finally convicted at
15 years, after some years from the crime.
I honestly don’t know how those movies are done in those
countries, how they pass the censorship and can be showed to the world, because
out there it is another planet, a planet of horror, tyranny and abuse, for
women.
Tehran Taboo – 2017 – Germany – Austria

however, besides anger, shudder, sadness, empathy,
compassion, ultimate awareness of the “civilized” society madness,
THE COURAGE of this girl impressed me, inspired me, amazed
me and warmed my heart.
this kind of people still exists and they are ordinary people, not samurai or SEAL teams, heavy trained,
both physical and mental, for extreme situations;
people that wouldn’t think about themselves that they can be
heroes, that they can confront this kind of situation, risk their lives or to
be ostracized by society and family.
there is adrenaline addiction which is named courage, but it
isn’t
there are people who risk their lives to help other people
or animals in danger and this is COURAGE
and there is THE COURAGE TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS – a
characteristic linked to integrity, morality, discernment between right and
wrong and to say NO to evil
