I Do Not Love You, Man !!

I did not see the film “I love you Man” and I was not planning to see it actually despite being on the top of the box office from few months ago in the United States of America, I do not like that sort of comedy.
Now despite it has been screened from several months , it will cause an uproar in Egypt after its deliberate insult to our late President Sadat . In the film the hero Peter Klaven “Paul Rudd” walks with his new friend – to- be his best man in his wedding Sydney Fife “Jason Segel” asking him about his dog. Fife who is a total mess tells him that his dog’s name is “Anwar Al Sadat” !! When Klaven wonders why he named after President Sadat and whether he admired his policy, Fife boldly tells him that he named after his dog looked like President Sadat !!!!
Here is the scene


May be it is funny in the States but for us this is a huge insult even if it were not for an icon like Sadat ,so you can imagine it when it comes to one of our rulers.
Honestly if it were not for Masrawy.com I would not have not known.
Cutting off this scene from the film to be screened in Egypt did not hide our mistake and insult against this man , if this film was truly screened in Egypt , then Ali Abu Shady , the head of censorship should apologize to the Egyptian people and the family of President Sadat not to mention the least thing he can do is to resign. “For the record I respect Abu Shady yet I am extremely angry from him” This is not Abu Ghazla whom the censorship protected him from Charlie Wilson’s war simply by cutting the dance scene from the film in Egypt !! “by the way the film will be shown next Wednesday on Movie Channel 1 at night on Showtime Arabia network”
Where is the Egyptian Embassy in the United States from this insult ?? Where are our Egyptian community from this insult against our President ?? Or they only move when it comes to Mubarak !!??
I swear I will be as angry as now if they call it Nasser or Naguib or even Mubarak.
It is not an overreaction or over sensitivity , yes East is East and West is West , I remember that many Americans did not like when that company produced a monkey doll on the shape of Obama. This is the same issue.
You know what is really provoking in this whole ?? It is the fact that in the past months I found reviews about “I love you man” in the Egyptian lifestyle magazines !!!!??
I hope this time the widow of President Sadat not only his daughter Rakia will do something this time ?? !! Or will she consider it a freedom of expression thing !!?? Well I know that one thing for sure is that Rakia Al-Sadat may sue the production company DreamWorks pictures, its director John Hambrug and its writer Larry Levin “ Hamburg co-wrote with him the screenplay”.
Of course I know that DreamWorks Pictures is owned by Steven Spielberg , the legendary director that usually is considered a Zionist in our media , I think many including me will consider this film another insult to Egypt and Egyptians in his long list of films he directed and produced. ‘The list is too long to be honest’
Ironically I was from the people who believed that Schindler’s list film should be screened publicly and I like this work for real!!
Also I know that Hambrug co-wrote Meet the fockers where the Fockers’ pet was called Moses after Prophet Moses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May be it is ok for him but it is not ok for us.
