Lamya's Poem (2021)
7/10
Great movie
31 December 2022
The movie is of the "animated" genre, and although it is (family), it is - in my opinion - not suitable for children! Considering the complexity of its content, and its excessive symbolism, as well as the atmosphere of sadness that overcomes it! ..

The film addresses many thoughts, namely: anger, the desire for revenge, and leaving the country, and suggests a "poetic" way of dealing with pain and sadness, so when one is forced to leave his country and his family, he leaves burdened with sadness, heartbreak and anger. He thinks he has left his roots.. His world as he knows: home, family, business and friends.. It is a great loss that can destroy a person, but it - also - can be an opportunity to discover the true source of our existence. The loss can be the beginning of a new journey (spiritual, or social).. This is simply the message of the movie! Which may seem dreamy and naive in the eyes of some! ) ..

The film shows this message through three completely different paths:

First track : Lamia .. A Syrian child living in Aleppo, lost her father in the chaos of the Syrian war, and the bombing forces her to flee her country and take refuge in a European country, and she is burdened with sadness and pain..

Second track: Jalaluddin Rumi.. A poet goes through a similar ordeal when the Mongols invade his civilization, and is forced to migrate while he is carrying the desire to revenge against the Gazi aggressor.

Track 3: A "fantasy" track when Lamia "dreamy poetry" meets Jalaluddin Rumi "obsessed with spirit of revenge" in a virtual fantasy world! Symbolizes the struggle of these feelings about the ordeal itself!

Throughout the film, scenes will move between these three tracks, showing events inspired by the real poems of Jalaluddin Rumi.

The film is a fun visual adventure, overflowing with poetry and pain.. and the optimism as well ! ..

Although the film is "cartoon" and has modest artistic potential, it has huge influential abilities, explained briefly and simply: the plight of the Syrian (or anyone who is experiencing it) in his homeland, and in the asylum! ..
