OSAMA

I still feel unwell and irritated since I watched this movie 2 days ago…
It is one of the most irritable, astonishing movies any one can ever see… a powerful strike to our humanity…
Osama 2003…

A true story that represents thousands of other stories that goes on the same tragic track.
Written and directed by Siddiq Barmak, the acting team were no professionals I agree…except for Marina Golbahari’s amazing performance as “Osama”
This movie is the first movie made in the post-Taliban Afghanistan
The initial opening was with this saying by N. Mandella
“we cannot forget but was can forgive”

In Afghanistan, under the Taliban’s overrule who considered being a woman as almost akin to sinning against God. As a result, women were not allowed to hold jobs, appear in public without male escorts…
A terrified 12 years old girl was forced to cut her hair and wear her dead father’s clothes and pretend to be a boy in order to work and prevent the starvation of her mother who lost her job at the local hospital and her grandmother
Her grandmother said “my hair grew white and I haven’t seen a different between men and women , they both work equally hard and they are equally unfortunate.. a shaved man under a burka looks like a woman.. a woman with short hair, a hat and trousers looks like a man…. I will cut her hair …bring her father’s clothes”
Now called “Osama” She pays lots of efforts trying to hide her true identity in a constant fear of the barbaric Taliban, and as all other boys forced to go to Taliban’s boys school for religious teaching and military training… where the terror continues
when I finished it all I could hear was the cracking of the jumping rope

This movie can shake you hard, you can’t help it but to scream “NO” out loud, it can defeat your strength for a couple of days… BUT yet… it is a must see movie
