Love El Sima is an Egyptian film produced in 2004, starring Mahmoud Hamida, Laila Elwi and the child Youssef Othman, written by screenwriter Hani Fawzy, directed by Osama Fawzy and produced by Hani Gerges Fawzy. It is a mostly comedic movie, and the main actor of the movie is Youssef Othman, and it talks about a fanatical father and a wife who can no longer tolerate her husband’s behavior, so she betrays him with a plastic artist.
The film deals with the life of a Christian family consisting of a religiously puritanical Coptic Orthodox husband, a Protestant wife, and a child and a child.
When this movie was shown, it caused a sensation. Christian lawyers and clergymen filed a lawsuit to demand that the movie “Love of Ema” be stopped, due to its content of ridicule of the Christian faith.
The film received positive reactions from critics, as the writer in the weekly “Good Morning” Essam Zakaria says that the film can be “understood through several levels,” as the course of the dramatic events can constitute “a scathing criticism of the strictness of Coptic religious fundamentalism alongside the authoritarian puritanism in the family he represents.” The father and the tyranny of political power.”
The critic of the “Rose Al-Youssef” weekly, Tariq Al-Shennawi, believes that “the script written by Hani Fawzy was smooth, realistic and beautiful, alongside director Osama, who created a state of joy and pleasure that is not without depth at the level of thought and cinematic image.”
