      blunt political innuendo

      The Hilton incident on the Nile River is a corruption problem caused by political and business collusion caused by the murder of a high-level prostitute, and alludes to the background of the fall of Mubarak in Egypt. This should be a kind of political correctness and a "main theme" in the Western film circle. But it is often naive to try to summarize political issues by zooming in on the insinuation from one point.

      As far as this film is concerned, this innuendo is very blunt. The...

      A curious work that satisfies the voyeuristic desire of the Western liberal elite to the Arab world

      I couldn't stand the bombardment of the publishers and the theaters. I knew it was a mess, but I couldn't help but watch it. Having traveled through all the countries in North Africa and the Middle East except Yemen, Libya and Syria, I have to feel that this film is a ridiculous peeping tom that completely satisfies the Western liberal elite's fantasy of the Arab world. It's more like the director patted his head after hearing some gossip news about finding this material at the greasy uncle...

      Egypt's past

      In the context of the eve of Mubarak's downfall, a murder incident led to multiple political effects: corruption, violence and power and money transactions. "The Hilton Incident on the Nile" tells us such a story. Some of the footage of Egypt looks like this:

      Characters are more successful

      It is an amazing coincidence that I watched a movie with the Cairo Revolution in Egypt as the background. It is hard not to recall the widespread "Arab Spring" incident seven years ago, through the scene of violent students taking to the streets to protest in the film. But the film, which took home the top prize at last year's Sundance Film Festival, wasn't about the roaring movement, but about a murder that happened to happen around that time. From the perspective of genre films, this...

      When the rules of society are embodied in money, it's really shuddering

      The story of The Nile Hilton Incident in the movie The Nile Hilton Incident takes place in 2011, a year when the 1.25 revolution occurred in Egypt, and President Mubarak, who had ruled Egypt for 30 years, was overthrown. By the end of the film, the streets were filled with protesters, and Mubarak's portrait was erased.

      Cairo at night is chaotic, dirty, and looks like a savage growth. The police officer Noredin drove the car into the...

      C/Audio-visual framing is far superior to a politically oriented crime-type film of a play. The script really wants to write all the satirical ambitions for you to see, so the final effect is not as good as expected. The role of the male protagonist is still written quite three-dimensionally, and the handling at the end is one of the few...

      The middle-eastern brother of the "Collection Code" series went to Egypt to become a police captain. The murder of a prostitute in a hotel, set during Mubarak's corruption trial in January 2011, illustrates the chaotic picture of Egypt (at least Cairo) from high-rise to slums. The biggest suspect in this case is a business tycoon and a friend of Mubarak's son. In addition to facing high-level threats, the male protagonist also encounters the nude photo trap of the fairy dance gang, and the...
