WOW! What a fantastic movie and so true to the autobiography. I watched it 3 times over the weekend and I have to say that Dominic Cooper did a great job of portraying 2 such completely different personalities. I also have to say that I really admire Latif Yahia for standing to his principles as best he could during his time at the Republican Palace. Not an easy task at all! Anyone who wants to learn more about life inside Hussein's regime should not just check out this movie and read Latif Yahia's books, but search for other books written by the very few who survived that regime.
Well done Latif Yahia, Dominic Cooper and Lionsgate
The early Islamic Middle East was governed by a series of dynastic powers called "Caliphates". Each caliphate was eventually run out by a new power. My primary interest in the caliphates are the Umayyads and the 'Abbasids. Especially the latter, this was considered the "Glory of the Middle East".
