The leader sank into Valentino.

Adel Imam consumed a lot in Ramadan this year in his “Valentino” series. We certainly don’t talk about physical exhaustion when we talk about the Arab “comedian” for many years. What we are talking about is his series, which needs him to make a great effort to bring everyone who is in it, despite the fact that it includes professional actors like Dalal Abdulaziz who shout at us and his fellow actors all the time. weather; knowing that Abdulaziz is one of the stars he kept based on his good performance during most of his recent appearances. What happened this time?

One of the worst looks in the series is its hero, Al-Musanad, Hamdi Al-Mirghani. There is no doubt that man is a comedian, but he is not a comedian for this age. Yehia Ismail Yassin used to be useful in her day, playing differently, artificial stupidity, love of women and sex … all this was useful in the seventies and eighties of the last century, but today? This comedy is no longer useful. Al-Mirghani insists on presenting this type of extinct comedy, perhaps in an attempt to be different, and perhaps even some Egyptian fans will love him for that. But it’s stereotypical and iterative, and you can watch a series / movie he was involved in for the past five years, to find out what the man is up to. In the same context, the rest of the actors at work make up a similar story: Suleiman Eid brings the same lives and the silly acts and jokes he said, perhaps hundreds of times, in different series. There really is a very shallow comedy in the series that can never be ignored: Eid, who plays the role of “Atef,” the driver of the wealthy school owner (the Valentino family), every day “begs” for money on the pretext. that his children are sick, while opening a video game store with his wife and children. This type of Iveyh / Story has been previously featured by Egyptian cinema (and even Adel Imam movie series and films) in the last few hundred times, so why repeat it? How about building other characters? Take Muhammad Kilani, who plays Archimedes, the son of the main character, “Noor” (and Adel Imam), a very flat figure. He loves for love as defined by the series, we don’t know why he loves for love; why he loves Jilan (whose role is Wafa Sadiq) is the teacher who works at his father’s school; and rejects it all the time, for no logical reason. What about Tariq El-Ebiary, who plays the role of Rafaa’s second son, Nour, a figure who memorizes everything, as the series tells us, what is the benefit of what he remembers? Every time Ibiari appears on the screen, the viewer feels very bored; repeat in your heart: it will repeat the occurrence of accidents that mean nothing to anyone. What about a prophet (played by Hoda Al-Mufti), Nour’s only daughter? A prophet or Nana is very genius, but this only appears forever. Are all the characters in the series as a concept pretty enough, but applied to the ground? Perhaps it should be said that it is very bad. All this forced Adel Imam to disappear and use all his techniques and crafts in order for the series to be successful. It can even be said that if it had not been for the Imam in the series, the number of viewers in the series would not have exceeded the fingers of one hand. Like what the Imam series did last year “Hidden Worlds” is a text written with aesthetics (written by Amin Jamal, Muhammad Mehrez, and Amin Jamal), as well as a carefully crafted story and interpreters who know their roles well, which greatly alleviated the pressure on the Imam. This year, the series was written by the poet Ayman Bahjat Qamar. He is also a serial writer. However, his craft is apparently not the same as that of poetry. The idea is good, the implementation is bad and it is up to date.
So far (episode seven), the series doesn’t seem to be progressing at all. Afaf Esmat (Dalal Abdel Aziz) still yells at everyone, for no known reason, she is angry all the time by everyone and everyone together. Nour (Adel Imam) tries to pressure Asim (Al-Mirghani) to present a possible comedy, while scenes from the rest of the artists at work force the viewer to browse his phone while waiting for the “leader” to reappear. on the screen. Outwardly, it seems that Rami Imam was unsuccessful this year, as there are no pictures showing something different, or a screen that needs pause, there is a camera roll and the statement is over. In short, it is a series that does not deserve to be seen; the words may seem harsh, but in reality, if it hadn’t been for the presence of Adel Imam in this series, watching two episodes would have been absolutely impossible.
