Last Night the famous syrian writer Mohamed El-Magout had passed away after long struggle against Cancer in Damscus ,Syria. Late Magout was 73 years old. I feel very sorry for his family and fans whom I consider myself as one . For those who don't know who is Mohamed El-Magout , I will tell you briefly who was this great man.
El-Magout is the famous writer ,talented one , wrote for threatre and cinema the most wonderful scripts , all about one thing ,the home ,the stolen home , the home .He was among the few who put in words the agony that the Arab world from the Alanatic ocean to the Persian gulf and described perfectly. The agony that All the Arabs were,are and God knows until when will be suffering from dictatorship.
Dictatorship and injustice were El-Magout enemies and that 's why many of his work is not available in many countries and few only know him from the young generation.
El-Magout came to fame when he and great Syrian Actor Doraid Laham presented a powerful duet in the 70s and 80s when they presented masterpieces like "Kassak ya Waten ,mom saw it in Doha" and the legendary political Movie El-Hodod"the borders", I guess you will know him from the later movie if you are an Arab
El-Hodod was speaking about the Home ,the Arabic and Arabic-Arabic affairs in a comic way
This duet reminds me with the duet that was between Lanin El-Ramli and Mohamed Sobhi in Egypt.
El-Magout was widower who devoted his life after his wife's death to his two daughters , also one of the unique things about his life is that he began to become famous in Syria after publishing his own diaries in El-Maza Jail "a legendary Jail in Syria , a terrible one which I think Abu-garib is much better ,you see in Abu-garib you got humilitated by a foreigner but in El-Maza you got humiliated by your own home brother , you probably surprise to know that El-Magout wrote his diaries on the cover of the cigarettes and hided in his under wall so no one can catch it.
May God bless his soul this old man from El-Sham
thanks for passing by catch -13 it is really great
