It was directed by the twin duo for Tarzan and Arab Nasser, “Once in Gaza” revolves around a different kind of cooperation: a small pharmaceutical scheme that was prepared by Timid Yahya (Nader ABD Alhay) and the owner of Burly Asama (majd eid). Although the drama of good intention in 2007, the drama with good intention has a tendency to link its preparation with contemporary political measurement, which spoils loudly and publicly. However, her self-reflection story-about the use of cinematic images to create a revolution-ends quietly.
It was captured with a delicate composition, the first half of the film sees that Osama, the brains of the process, and send Yahya to get the pain tunnel using forged recipes, which they plan to sell by hiding it in the bottom sandwiches of the falafel joint in the falafel from Osama. When this conspiracy is revealed, it is backed by tension, light and humorous of the two disputes – that the Nasser allows to play to the point of absurdity – and the corrupt police officer over their tails, Abu Sami (Ramzi intended). All the time, the headlines of newspapers and stories on television tell about the increasing tensions, as Israel recently announced that Gaza is a “hostile area” and plans to literally stop it.
The existence that is waving on the horizon of this political ghost is rarely linked to the continuous regression, except in the simple state that is prevented, by the Israeli authority, from traveling to the West Bank to see his mother. On the one hand, it is impossible to tell a story about modern Gaza without showing the changing parameters of their presence in some way. On the other hand, this effect is rarely on the performance of the larger film. The moral dilemma that Osama faces, as Abu Sami offers him freedom in exchange for the reduction, which was suddenly interrupted by every injection of the wider world, instead of the two to be intertwined.
It was given, there is a simple comic series that provides a little film from the escape opening. He starts with modern audio clips from US President Donald Trump claiming to want to turn Gaza into private Rivieh, along with the recent Gaza buildings clips that are being destroyed on the ground. This, in fact, tires until incidents are not related to the relevant biography that they are at the mercy of this dangerous future, backed by Western powers. However, none of the news elements does not really feel perfect, given its rapid and unconnected appearance, is about to ridicule the intention.
There is also a greater farce in playing, although it takes some time to arrive. The editorial photos of the film are the production of low -budget, filmed in the world, called “The Rebel”, which was described as the first movement in Gaza. She plays like a joke at the beginning, but she returns in the second half of the film, which is almost fully flying to make this actual movie – about heroic armed resistance – where Yahya finds himself involved through a transparent coincidence.
This apparent act of fate is determined by the title and images inspired by Hollywood. Even this point, a number of scenes are inspired by the major Hollywood influences, from “Pulp Fitch” to music that Nino Rota’s degree for “The Godfather” to a surreal close proximity reflects the opening of “Apocalypse Now”. These are not references for the reference, but an apparent attempt to calculate with the impact of the fencing of American culture and American policy, with the help of filmmakers in Gaza to build their photos and identities, and the last financing weapons used to destroy them.
It seems that the film turns into a focus, towards the creation of the revolutionaries as a cinematic idea, but it soon ignores all this superiority in favor of the final action based on more actions of fate, which ends. Using a coincidence to get a continuous story, but unless nihilism is the goal and purpose – a “serious man” of the brotherhood – using a coincidence to finish the story, it can be incredibly unsatisfactory. This, in addition to the film’s refusal to dive into the desires of its characters to take revenge (when things become particularly violent), the “once in Gaza” is more faxes than greeting or self -thinking, and remote observation is more than strictly investigating the cheek in life.
