Twenty years will not be enough to discover Amal Arafa on the artistic and humanitarian levels, because she presented herself from the beginning as an integrated artistic institution: she sings, dances, performs, imitates, and presents programs… in addition to the fact that she already acts, and is brilliantly proficient in the most difficult, complex and complex roles. The evidence is that it has accumulated a rich archive of successes, and created a rich history, the impact of which no matter how many successive years cannot erase. She is “The Phoenix” in “The Raptors,” “Siham Al-Qandili” in “Hammam Al-Qayshani,” “Samar” in “Five Star Family,” “Fadda” in “Khan Al-Harir,” and “Donia” and “Ishtar” in two works bearing the same names. By signing the script as a writer with partners, in addition to dozens of characters that were deeply engraved in the viewer’s conscience. It is as if we are the owner of these characters on this luxurious journey, saying to every follower: “Come and follow me, and no matter how prejudiced I may be towards the character or how negatively affected by it, you must love me as an actress.” As for the human level, Amal Arafa can communicate with the intention of reproaching one of her friends, or even arguing with him over an unresolved issue, and as soon as she finds sadness oozing from his voice, she goes all out searching with him for the reason, and intends to help him and find a way out of what he is in, forgetting the reason for the dispute in the first place. 2007 was a leap year in its metaphorical sense, despite the cruelty of the pages of war, destruction, and fire that followed it, which consumed a large portion of Syria. That year, the distinguished Syrian actress mourned her mother and discovered too late, as she always told us, that life was just a stupid and bloody joke, and that in fact, her color would turn dark like the uniform of a defeated warrior when the last doors of mercy closed with the mother’s departure, as the religious narrative says. To this day, Amal remains happy when everyone tells her: “You cook like your mother and sing with the same beautiful voice.” As for the father, the great musician Suhail Arafa, his extinction had a story of equal cruelty, and he was the one who made her, since her childhood, have lunch with Wadih Al-Safi, and on the same night have dinner with Philemon Wehbe. When he left, she revealed all her breakdowns in front of the crowds of mourners. Nearly 18 years ago, the celebration of the launch of theatrical scripts in a book by her ex-husband, Abdel Moneim Amairi, was enough to reveal to the public the privacy of her relationship with her first daughter, Salma, and then Maryam. The first will not hesitate to be frank with harsh journalists that she will never be forgiven for once being the reason her mother cried!
Her performance in “Close Your Eyes” rescues the series from coldness and monotony
The life hypothesis that goes deep into the eternal relationship between a girl and her mother, and then the continuity of this relationship with this girl when she becomes a mother and forms a remarkable relationship with her two daughters, is often the same equation that lies behind the tightly constructed formula between the Syrian artist and the child Zaid Al-Beiruti in the series “Close Your Eyes” ( Written by Ahmed Al-Mulla and Louay Al-Nouri – Screenplay by Fadi Al-Manfi – Directed by Moamen Al-Mulla). Here we are in front of a single mother (Amal Arafa) who seeks to improve her financial situation with the intention of caring for her only son who suffers from autism spectrum disorder. She is unwittingly involved in a drug case, plays the story alone, and is sentenced to 15 years in prison. This pure human suggestion in the dramatic story is criticized by the monotony and excessive calmness of the story, and the shifting of characters and events into place for several episodes. However, the performance level and the embodiment work free of flavor and exaggeration, especially by the star of the series and the owner of the character, removes it from any coldness, and compensates it for the required suspense and high escalation. This season, Amal Arafa adds a bright page in her artistic history and hangs in the closet of her immortal characters a new “rakora” for Mrs. “Hayat,” who was crushed by injustice, so she faced it with all this honesty and belonging.
