I am hesitant to reveal too much about the movie itself, as I am sure many readers reading this review are just as eager as I was to discover this epic movie on their own. As soon as the movie started, I found my mind and soul silently leaving me and flying towards the Arabian Peninsula, in order to experience the light of the Prophet. But I soon realized that Majid Majidi had other plans for me. I thought reaching Montreal had brought my summer traveling to an end. Right after his polite salutations, the movie began. Prior to the screening, Majid Majidi was invited to give a small speech. Everyone was smiling and their hand gestures and body language were all giving away glimpses of their eagerness to meet their beloved Prophet.
Yesterday, after years of digging around in caves of religiously inspired artistic creativity, I found a rare diamond. Only once in a while do I find a rare gem, whose radiating shine manages to enlighten both my mind and heart in a compatible manner. With time, I have become very sensitive and critical when analyzing experiences with high emotional content that trigger wonderment and fascination, as some of those experiences are solely based on feelings, while carrying very little reasoning and logic. These are all words I have read often in books but rarely used in my day-to-day life, and even more rarely in my writings.
