Verses of Love

In some level, this movie represents such high perception of marriage and life. If most of us are lost in love and lust, not with Fahri and Aisha. There's a certain exclusivity that we rarely find. They both could be this couple we look for, with their high devotion in their religion. It's pretty interesting when I see women in the movie are obsessed with Fahri. It's ordinary if a guy chased a girl, it's pretty much in the nature. There are moments when he's just so perfect, it's too good to be true. Sure, he's cute with good manners, a combination we usually never find. It's his character to be innocent, but I see it kind of annoying. He's slow with reading signs and expressions (from a woman) and slow in making decisions. Aisha is this perfect woman, brave and good heart, played very well by Rianti R. Cartwright. She's more tough than Maria. Maria in the other hand is more childish and more balanced with Fahri. She's as good heart as Aisha, but not that mature. This is pretty much the only movie that can make me understood why polygamy can be done; it consists with humans that make marriage only in the name of God, not others, pure and that is it. But, cynically, I can only say this picture-perfect might be only in this movie. Other things that made the movie different, it's the exotic feel of the location. The story is actually based in Cairo, Egypt, but instead of shooting in Cairo, the movie was shot in India and Semarang, Indonesia. Well done. Should definitely watch this movie if you're a bit curious about Islam. It can be watched in general. www.inspiredground.blogspot.com
