This movie represents the Islamic Culture and Middle East in the wrong manner! It is on purpose to make the arabs and their religion look savages.
It represents the Muslim Woman as she is always abused, and her husband as an animal who deals with her violently. So that according to them, she always looks for a relationship outside marriage invisibly!! Also, she is always divorced or looking for a divorce. But ironicallly in reality, the western culture have a lot of divorce and family issues, as well as violence!! Despite the alleged woman freedom and liberty! hhhh
This image that they want to show in the movie is the wrong image. The woman in our culture is honored. Her husband should take care of her and their children, she could have a job in some cases but this is not mainly required from her. The husband should take care of all their expenses. The husband in our religion and culture must treat his wife gently and care for her, this the case for the whole family all the time. Sons of the woman here also must be good with her and their father as well, but the mother gets more attention. They have by islam more duties for their mother. Which makes her very honored and being taken care of very well.
If this represented image in the movie happens, then it happens in small percentage or individual cases, then it should not be represented as the default case for all Middle East and Islamic or Arabic countries. Even worse than this, happens in the western countries, and in bigger numbers!!
The ending is a "Poison in the Honey" as the proverb says. That she was happy with this relationship and she is more happy without any hijab.
First of all, this relationship is forbidden in all matters here. She cannot disclose her relationship at all, so she cannot be happy and the relationship will end soon enough. In islam, the woman cannot have a relationship outside an official marriage, and she cannot marry any non-muslim whatsoever, even if he was good or gentle as they are showing in the movie. So, this relationship is forbidden in all manners. And cannot lead the woman to be happy at all. They on purpose want to distort the hijab and make it look ugly. They assume that their western culture is superior to other cultures. And everyone in the world should take their liberty as superior to all religions or cultures. Which are showing the arrogance and high ego of western people as well as ignorance!
Honestly, the movie let me down and every Muslim feels the same. As no western countries in majority respect our religion or culture, and generalize narrow scenarios and picturing it as if it is the majority here in Islamic Countries. You are happy with your liberty good for you. And we are happy with our conservative society and religion.
Everyday with this fake "modern world", it proves that this is "The era of pettiness and superficiality"
