      Warm work

      After watching this movie and there is an impulse, like Momo
      want to go looking through the Qur'an that Abraham mouth often mentioned

      seem to have too many Quran wisdom about life
      , "Momo, I'm not dumb Can you imagine me and her (Female movie star) On the same boat as my wife, the boat is weak and sinking. Guess what I will do? I believe my wife will swim."

      cloud

      On the azure blue sky, there are soothing white clouds like veil. This is Switzerland, and rich people live under the sky of idleness and superiority. A large group of dark clouds shrouded the gray sky. This is Albania, and under this bleak and dark sky, poor people live. The golden shining clouds rolled, reflecting the sky in golden yellow, and the light and graceful white clouds wandered in the meantime. This is Greece, and even the clouds in the sky are full of joy! The pale gray sky is...

      "Smiles can create miracles. 』



            A story about the friendship between an old Muslim man and a Jewish boy. The 16-year-old Jewish boy on Blue Street used the money in the piggy bank to buy his first experience of being a man at Zhanjie Liuying on his birthday. Since childhood, his mother ran away from home and his father had no communication with him. It was cold, until he met the Muslim uncle who opened a grocery store....

      Mr. Ibrahim and the flower of the Quran

      Watching this movie under this weird name, sure enough, the movie itself is even more weird than the name.

      In an inconspicuous little street in Paris, I was attracted by the strange friendship between a 16-year-old Jewish boy and an Arab old man. If you hadn't read the cast, you wouldn't really recognize that this windy old man was actually the "Doctor Zhivago" I loved back then. Omar Shariff, I really can’t figure out why Hollywood chose this Egyptian of Palestinian descent to play...

      Give unconditionally

      I came across it when I was looking for a piece of rice at station B. Strange name, warm picture. It is about the friendship between a Jewish boy and an old Muslim, or father-son relationship. This film made me understand Muslims from another angle for the first time. It is no longer the stereotyped and oppressive, dogmatic. (To be honest. I personally think it looks much better than "Muslim's Funeral.") To be honest, I used to think that religion and belief are very mysterious things,...

      The whole article is a bit boring, but it's all light. Mr. Ibrahim is a kind person ~ he must be so optimistic when his mind is clear. It's an introductory film to Islam. It's so noisy that I want to find a faith. It takes time to live, and this is...

      At first glance, I thought this piece was literary and dull, but it didn't start to touch the sweetness and brightness of a period of time until the third half. Almost like 16-year-old MOMO, I couldn't help but run away with Mr. Ibrahim's kind smile and clear eyes. The old man said too many things that made my heart palpitate. People who truly love life should live with such a smile and humor. The only flaw is the casting of MOMO, which is too vulgar, minus 1...

      Facing the confusion and depression of growing up, the amiable and wise old man is more important than religion; and the soundtrack and the religious preaching that is not overpowering, both make the movie comfortable to...

    Movie plot

    15-year-old Israeli boy Momo ( Pierre Boulanger ) and his father ( Pierre Boulanger ) live in a poor and dirty apartment on the Blue Boulevard in Paris. The mother ( Isabelle Renauld ) ran away from home, and his father was obsessed with books all day long, and he made up a good brother that didn't exist to fight Momo.
    In Paris, "Arab" means "open to the public from 8 pm to midnight." This is the cunning definition commonly used by Mr....

    • Momo: [reading Ibrahim's will] This is my will and testament. I, Ibrahim Demirdji, hereby leave all my goods to Moses Schmitt, my son Momo because he chose me as his father and because I've given him everything I've learned in this life. Now you too will know what's in my Koran, Momo. It's all there is to know.
