When you listen to people like Tarek Sikias and the other producers of this movie you just feel that there&#8217;s something special. For me watching a movie in the cinema was always about the gathering not if it&#8217;s a good movie because let&#8217;s face great cinema these days is an acquired taste. Yesterday when I went to the cinema I had the chance to watch a 14-time nominated film &#8221; LaLa Land&#8221; which I heard feedback from close friends who know their cinema that it&#8217;s really overrated movie and am not a fan of a movie with a very weak plot and glorifies Hollywood, so I went with the second choice &#8221; Nuts&#8221; and my expectations were met exciting, brilliant acting from Gabriel Yammine, decent from the others, an amazing technique in the way they approached the takes. I heard some people complain about the ending, for me, it was simply glorious and mind-blowing. I can honestly say I&#8217;ve never been happier in going to the cinema and watching a quality made film for a long while. A big portion of the Lebanese community will despise, crucify the movie and let it fail at the Lebanese box office which is sadly already being felt. I tell you this you don&#8217;t know what are you missing: a well-struck plot, amazing cast, and director, and spot-on feature film that we can be proud to call Lebanese made in an era in the cinema industry where there&#8217;s a lack of originality&nbsp;in telling the story or sometimes there&#8217;s no story at all and most of the times there&#8217;s weakness in the plot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cinema is all about passion, risk, and artistic taste and letting your dreams control your vision and lead you to the stars.&nbsp;\u200b A few weeks back I was watching an interview with the producers of a newly released film in the Lebanese Cinemas, that got some awards at the Dubai Film Festival, &#8221; Nuts&#8221;.
