The 1919 novel is much stronger than the movie. Seriously. The novel was not limited to the resistance. The narrator contains many very nice details, and there are characters who are not even present in the movie, like ward . Its parts were a masterpiece, Saad Zaghloul's house and many details in this time It was really nice. I don't know why the movie was limited to The resistance, and It had very clear technical problems, as the sound was very brutal. The music wasn't used right at all, and at times annoying, although the music is a masterpiece, as usual, Hisham Nazih. Regardless of all this, I can't say the movie is bad, but seriously, it could have been something much stronger.
