      cool night

      The storyline of the movie is super simple. A little boy named Shib rides a camel to the desert with his brother who depends on each other. He guides an Englishman to find a well. It was the black robes who were going to rob their camel...then the little boy buried his brother in the desert alone and followed his brother's last words to stay by the well and wait for his own people to come to him...the little boy stayed by the well for a few days until the camel He brought a...

      Hibb-Bleeding Wolf Blood

      This movie with a Middle Eastern background seems boring in the front, and the plot climax is not so vigorous, but after watching it, it is intriguing. Looking back, the director and actors photographed the soul of the Middle Eastern Desert Wolf. This wolf is Hibb. He is a werewolf with the blood of the Desert Wolf King who is brave, wise, forbearing, able to bend and stretch.

      The main thread of the movie is that Hebb walks out of the desert without people. This path is...

      It's gone after one shot

      According to the basic routine of this kind of adventurous companion film, it is generally that the child encounters vitality at the moment of life and death. Although the man is the enemy, he teaches the boy to survive and be brave. Then the boy understands the involuntary suffering in the man. It contains the righteousness of family and country, bizarre life experience, miserable childhood...

      But this film does not, it portrays surprisingly real. The flies flying wildly across the...

      This is the first time I watched a movie made in Jordan.

      This is the first time I watched a movie made in Jordan.
      I don't think the story itself is outstanding.
      What is interesting is the natural and humanistic customs of the Arab world countries.
      The vast desert, arid land, heavy clothing, heavy camels and flies everywhere.
      In this way, in such a country and region, it may be very difficult to make such a movie.
      Because their living environment is really bad.
      Because of cultural differences, sometimes I don't understand...

      Hibb's Bar Mitzvah

      Probably for personal reasons, there are not many Middle Eastern themed movies related to the Turkish/Ottoman Empire, but all of them make me unforgettable. From On the Road to School in 2008 to Kiskanmak in 2009 to Theeb now. "Hibb" gave me a looming feeling, leaving blank and intriguing words, like a storyteller who ignores the audience, just indulging in his own world-a real artist who just lives and talks.

      The story of Theeb took place in the First World War in 1916. As a member...

      The audio-visual is quite elegant, but the story is quite satisfactory, especially the child's perspective, which is already quite tiresome. Can there be a different development direction? #Film Festival Supplementary...

      Film Festival Movies. I feel that Asian movies as a whole have shifted from melodrama "swoosh" to allegory... Now I'm a little tired of watching this kind of fabled story with a big background (although this fable can be told), I want to have flesh and blood with details Emotional. This kind of film is considered a cinema of attraction to me, and it must be considered a film...

      4.5. It was a bit slow to get into the play in the front, but it was a necessary foreshadowing. For historical background, please click here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Revolt. But it was originally a POV story. You don't need to understand the historical background, and the little male protagonist doesn't understand it. Therefore, the film is more poignant, crueler, and better to introduce a nation, an era, and a timeless quality. This big desert landscape is simply another protagonist of the...

    Evaluation action

    "Theeb" is a Jordanian film that won the Horizon Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Award . "Theeb" means wolf, so someone translated this film into "Little Wild Wolf in the Desert."
    Of course, this is not a movie about wolves. Its protagonist Theeb is a child about ten years old. In the early 20th century, in the Middle East, Theeb and his Bedouin tribe lived...

    Movie quotes

    • Hussein: The strong eat the weak

    • Father: He who swims in the Red Sea cannot know its true deep, and not just any man, Theeb, can reach the seabed, my son. In questions of brotherhood, never refuse a guest. Be the right hand of the right when men make their stand. And if the wolves offer friendship, do not count no success; they will not stand beside you when you are facing death.
