ekon888 November 2020
The film "The Beginning" is a wonderful movie, The movie discussed the idea of ??freedom of expression in a comic form through the group that survived after the plane crash on a remote island, The survivors represent different sectors of society. Adel is one of the survivors and he is a visual artist , he always calls for freedom of expression and democracy and also to make elections to choose one of them to rule the island but he enters into conflict with the businessman and, who believes that money can buy everything, and each of them tries to influence others, such as the farmer, the journalist, the housewife, the ignorant, and the doctor, all of them are survivors on the island, then how money can reach power and then how it turns to use oppression to subjugate others to it and impose Controlling the island, taking advantage of the gullibility of the simple, but finally Adel succeeds in educating others about their rights and rejecting tyranny and injustice.

This movie is great but...

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is great! The moment I watched it, the first thing that came to my mind was John B. Calhoun's mouse utopia experiment (behavioral sink).

Although, there was two unreasonable moments that made me think: "common, you got better options".

Firstly, there was unjustified animosity from Adel (just) toward Nabih (smart). Secondly, why did they left Nabih at the Oasis and didn't save him too? Why did they decide that he deserves to be eclxcuted without trial or legal convection?!

Apart from these two awkward moments, it was fun to watch.

one of best movies ever made !!!
manganee19 December 2010
It's one of best movies of all time , It shows many different human personalities with great effort of one of the best Egyptian director Salah abouseif , he made a real complete community in this film , Ahmed zaki made a great performance as a socialist , gamil rateb as a rich man seeks power , safiah al emary as she works in a national newspaper , salah abouseif created in his community the rising of the power , socialism and revolution. It described the idea of adventure and co-operation between the people of the same community (that seems to be socialism) , how to be the ruler of a community by the ignorance of it's people , how to make them like a slaves !!
