OK so i've watched Ayat Ayat Cinta. It was ouhk. Doesn't live up to my expectation.
The thing is...i've read my friends' blogs about this, and they seem to really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it of course but i think not to that extend la. I think because i went to watch with my boyfriend. He spoils my mood la. He laughed when he's not suppose to, and mock me when i teared. I cried. ya. haha. I cried at the part where Aisya sacrificed her husband to save Maria from dying. I mean...you're not really willing to do that, but as a good muslimah, you have to think of others before yourself. And there is no wrong for a Muslim guy to marry more than one wife. In fact, they can even marry up to 4 wives. But the utmost important thing is to be FAIR. I admire Aisya. But the thing that i dont get is that, Fahri married Maria when she's still lying in bed, coma and still a Cristian. She hasn't even recite the 2 kalimah Syahadah. I mean..doesn't that mean their marriage is still...pending?? Belum sah la. Fahri is an Al-Azhar under-graduate. The Ustaz, Aisya and himself should know that...right? I thought this show is suppose to be all Islamic rights thing. Maria has read and has even memorized the surah Maryam, but she still hasn't been officially a Muslimah yet. She held on to her crucifix when she was depressed from Fahri's marriage. I think it's Indonesia's style la. They can marry with whoever they want eventhough they are of different religion. But Islamic law is still a LAW. Even the lawyer i interviewed that day learns and know about Islamic law. About faraidh and stuffs.
Another thing i don't get was that in Egypt, everybody speaks Bahasa Indonesia.....????? Even Aisya who 'originated' from Germany, speaks bahasa indonesia. I DON'T GET IT! haha. Just like Hindustan la. Everywhere they go, there'll always be Indians/Hindus. Style ke ape. lol.
I'm amazed by Aisya's beauty. She wore the covered hijab, the kind that Arabs like to where to cover their mouth and nose. Her eyes are stunning. The first time she took it off, i was like "whoooaaa...BEAUTIFUL!" I'll go crazy over her if i am a guy. Which i'm not. Obviously. haha. I think Fahri is abit 'gatal'. haha. He was at first afraid to get married as he is not financially ready or whatsoever. But when he saw Aisya's beautiful look, he straight away says "She's the one that Allah picked for me!". haha. Guys..what do you expect. But the thing i'm proud about him was that he quickly says "Astaghfirullah" when he finds himself staring at Maria and Aisya before they were married. That's cool. How often do you encounter a guy who does that.
Ok i commented alot about this movie. I think later i'm gonna get alot of 'hate' messages/tags by hardcore fans of that movie. lol.
This is just my opinions okeh. No hard feelings ;)
