From the beginning to the end; each and every scene catches us towards our Beloved. After watching this movie my heart has started burning to write few words in form of poetry>>>>>>>>> Oh my Beloved! the beauty of your splendid face has made me mad. My heart is burning in your love like fire, your love is running in my veins like blood, your thoughts are hitting my mind like hammer.... come come and cure this patient of love. Only by seeing your face again I get well soon..................<br />Moreover, this film is such a wonderful work of art and I praise the director of this movie to create such a great gift for thirsty of lover and shown the paradise of love.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116101372258896669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17022503.post-43609868784553442812012-01-07T01:49:44.874-05:002012-01-07T01:49:44.874-05:00Abbas....

To the degree that the dervish search for the light is successful and results in freedom from the darkness of self-centeredness and egotism, the dervish will be more likely to find ways to serve humanity successfully and positively, just as Gandhi and Mandela did. In contrast, if one strives to serve humanity like Gandhi and Mandela but does not endeavor to reduce one's self-centeredness (by means such as the Sufi's path), the chances are greater that one's best intentions to serve will be subverted by one's egotism.Dr. Alan Godlashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207706837161548885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17022503.post-15877138557565547632012-01-07T01:33:42.239-05:002012-01-07T01:33:42.239-05:00At a time when our limited world is suffering from...At a time when our limited world is suffering from the problems of injustice, inequality, poverty, religious fanaticism and world power intimidation, sticking to an old Dervish idea and sitting there doing nothing has nothing to do with finding the light. To my poor opinion those like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and to some degree Abraham Lincoln who identified the sources of oppression, rose and fought against them are the ones who actively searched for and found the light.<br /><br />AbbasAbbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414814828272866913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17022503.post-50289586834008399802011-01-09T10:54:10.343-05:002011-01-09T10:54:10.343-05:00My heart and SOUL need this!

Visu...Bab Aziz is a dazzlingly feast for the soul. Visually stunning and fulll of many of the one-liners, aphorisms and classic Sufi story elements that those familiar with the Sufi lexicon and imagery will know. The film is charming and sweet and touching in the extreme. I cannot think of a single good human emotion that this film does not evoke from start to finish. It is a non-stop whirlwind of delight and inspiration. <BR/> <BR/>However, I could not write a standard review of this film, other than to say it has my highest possible recommendation. The film makers, like true magicians, knew exactly how to guide the viewer through a series of intense awakenings and profoundly lovely moments. So other than to say it is a series of stories within a story that winds upon itself delightfully, it would be cheating the future viewers for me to say anything more. Let them drink from this well what is meant for them. Bravo to these film makers.<BR/> <BR/>Three days later I went and saw Bab Aziz a second time. This film was as wonderful as the first time I saw it. When I was reading a lengthy review elsewhere, the NY reviewer missed a subtle point but critical point. He said the film makers were stingy on story and plot. But I think what they did was far more a strategy of genius. They gave you just enough overwhelming sensory spiritual stimulus to take you out of yourself and then they let you adrift without making you ponder too much on the human personal details as other than backdrops for the spiritual motifs. This delicate balance allows the viewer to get swept into the tapestry they are viewing and they become, almost magically, not a spectator but a participant themselves as their own joys and sorrows, their own awakenings are subtly evoked. . These guys are masters of this art, and their use of breathtakingly beautiful and evocative music stabs into the viewer and forces them to respond.<BR/><BR/>Karen in NYCZanuyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624741186129109711noreply@blogger.com
