Supportive Reviews (Love it)


If the user searches in "Love it" button, there are sixteen favorable reviews of "Yadon Ilaheyya". A further investigation will show that eleven of them are made by users with only one review in IMDb. Therefore, it seems that there is a hidden intention of promoting this flick through fabricated supportive reviews. I do not believe in coincidences like this.

It could also mean that people like me who genuinely loved the movie were hurt by all the negativity surrounding the reviews of the film and decided to write a positive review, something they had not done for other movies simply because there was no need to. Think about it...

Thank you for your point of view. I was initially upset with the movie L.I.N.X.(2000):

I bought the VHS based on the excellent reviews in IMDb, but the movie was awful. Then I noted that the foregoing reviews belonged to users that only wrote one comments on IMDb, certainly to promote the film.

I dont buy any of it. NOBODY could legitimately like this movie its all fake. What do fans of this movie like?

"Oh this is the part where he sits arounds opening letters and not doing anything. YES!"

No, people like that just don't exist in reality. Nobodys dumb enough to like this pretentious crap.

its not about the movie being ultra realisinc, its more about how E.S views the Isreal-Palenstine situation and how, despite the more than depressing tone of the movie, Elia Suleiman was able to bring in small points of comedy to otherwise unhappy scenes. Take the scene with the tank in the middle of the road that blows up after E.S. throws a fruit pit at it. Even after it blows up, he doesn't flinch. Or even the three two patients in the hospital who wake up, pull of their monitor plugs, and light up cigs in the hallway where other patients are smoking. Believe it or not, that really happens. But despite the bleakness of the situation, once you think about it, you actually start to snicker at how people are smoking pacing with their IV tube carriers. This is what makes up a dark comedy, and is why this movie has gathered fans. The purpose of this movie is to create this feeling of sad comedy to show what a horrible situation that area of the world is stuck in.

I found the movie had some really high points of good absurdest humor but it could use a lot of editing and re-shooting. The director is a terrible actor and so is his girlfriend, otherwise they would not have just sat there and stared blankly.
That convention is an old student film thing or arthouse whatever meant to be profound...but usually used to cover up bad or non acting.

the director deliberately doesn't use actors most of the time, it's an artistic tool he talked about in the dvd. omar sherif and tom cruse are the worst actors in history but under right directors who don't let them act they do great because the don't have to do anything, in this kind of cinema the frame is every thing and the actor is nothing.
