Ramadan on top of a volcano…Cities and Film – Mahmoud Qassem

Egyptian cinema places most of the stars who became big in the 1980s in a repetitive and very narrow framework, that is, they are poor, living on the margins of society, and wealth suddenly comes to them, so they become rich and become marginalized people in society. The first thing they do is to break the law and commit crimes. This happens in the films of people like Nadia El Gendy and Adel Imam, which offer a lighthearted discourse of kidnapping, renting and happy life, and in the films of producer and writer Samir. Abdel Azim shows the best evidence of this to the star Adel Imam, and the stage for the radio and film collaboration between Samir Abdel Azim and Adel Imam in the eighties arrived in a different way. Shadia worked with him on very vivid melodrama series such as “Mouths and Rabbits”, and then these works were adapted into films. In the eighties, Faten left Samir Abdel Azim, who worked alone with Adel Imam to make films for him. In the film “Shaban Below Zero”, a poor Egyptian employee has the opportunity to obtain … a huge inheritance obtained unjustly, and then a government employee hides what he has in custody and surrenders to the police to enjoy what he has hidden after his release from prison in the film “Ramadan on the Volcano”. In that period, cinema was … It was aimed at the largest audience in Egypt, which were very poor and low-income people, as if sending. Adel Imam remained in this state until he began to shoot films written by Wahid Hamid and directed by Sherif Arafah. The appearance and goals of the hero changed, but he was always poor. God is a man who relies on the government to do everything he does.

Adel Imam’s talent and grace made him recognized in all roles and people began to watch all his films. Entering the new century, Adel Imam began to embody the role of a security guard or a businessman, so his image changed. In front of the audience, he was always present and chose his films with great wisdom.

Adel Emam became a star who was not criticized, he knew when to play a villain who repented and turned away from sin, he was also a lover who fell in love with a beautiful woman, very dynamic, which means that Adel is the one. A flexible star whose formation changes from one film to another, from one stage to another, to know the state it has reached, we can see the film “Suspect”, which is taken from the American film “He is a thief”, which was shown in theaters, and another film taken from the same American film “Thief” starring Mahmoud Yassin and Naheed Sharif, directed by Taysir Abboud, and to add to the contemplation, the film “Adel Imam and Suad Husni” was also shown. Another film directed by Samir Seif, the hall was full of audiences, which means that Adel Emam has been in the same situation in the film “My Wallet” in Egyptian cinemas. Another part of the film “Alarm Bell” starring Noor Sharif and Noura was made, so the spirit of the characters in the first film is full of energy and vitality, and maybe the audience does not know that there is such a film. How many similar works, if Adel Imam was the star, would be full of brilliance, and if another big star was in any form, we see that the corresponding works are unattractive, and the same is true. This matter came to Ahmed Zaki, who enjoyed his own glory in the quoted work and his heroism was attributed to him.
