Do Buy! a Dubai Documentary (Part 1)

[dude176AAA]

Young Alec Guinness - is that you?

[Abercrombie10112]

The people who hates Dubai are just jealous ;)

[ChipsALaChocolat]

i'm watching this with the snow falling.....it looks a lil awkward :)

[WillShakespeare2007]

Dubai is like a modern day slave market. The rich living off the misery of the poor. If you visit there you may as well be a slave master as that is where your money is going. Have some morals and decency and boycott the place. And yes when I say slavery I mean SLAVERY! Disgusting evil place, full of the most disgusting excuses for humanbeings you will ever come across.

[saluka18]

The airport filmed is in Abu Dhabi - the capital of the UAE not Dubai -_-

[levanyashin]

Fucking Indian's, I hate their accents

[FrostbitexP]

@levanyashin

[harhainen]

@FrostbitexP "dont bark at the hand that feeds you" they cant afford hate anything! :D

[omairways]

@levanyashin one day the accent will be cool

[NodrogTrax]

Dubai is a great setting for a zombie film or (good) novel.

[mali0689]

[zurifalexandria23]

LOOL @nice pot ? nice butt??

[6loveutube]

I love Dubai...tried to live in 3 other countries n hated it. The uae is kick ass n dubai is a great city. It has its flaws but all other cities in the world do too.. I think ppl should mind their own business n take care of their own bloody cities.

[BranIL28]

Dubai Sucks....Yes...It really does its fake all over.

[Cstrife234]

Bill Hicks would cry.

[mechdebaser]

You arabs can start your sustainability efforts by learning how to spell 'video' correctly.

[shagedalic69]

كس امك يا ابن القحبه i bet your gona have someone read it out loud to you....

[TheGumaru]

yes its true

you can go to dubai to spend not to earn...

it'll surely collapsed one day for sure

evrything is artificial

[jigglyfidda125]

2 of the 9/11 hijackers were from dubai

[jackwills101]

the man who will be king

[shagedalic69]

your mom was one of them...

[IFFY3917]

Dubai is a fake country...Everything in Dubai is fake! It's seems to have the dumbest people on the planet. Personal experience!

[KWalsh554]

Dubai is not a country. It's a city. Try harder next time.

[RadoDani]

@KWalsh554 … Dubai is not just a city, but an Emirate … or a Kingdom …a precursor of a modern state or a country. UAE is political union of these states each with it's own laws etc … more integrated than EU but less integrated than US imo. Stop confusing people.

[ed291]

Vinod!!! u are a legend, YES TELL ME !!... tell you what you have won!!!

[sssooo34]

fucking indians

[Shebaqueenof]

Thanks

[Rustywellsmore]

are you living in the same dubai as me... im not to fond of the place either, but this little documentary has the most pessimistic tone. Liven up a little mate...

[ButherLi55ett]

Do you have any suggestions of your own?

[proudindian27]

Vinod was funny!!!!

[nickswitch]

so many projects have been stopped in dubai since and there is talk that they won't be started again, EVER! thats scary if you live there

Nakheel General Manager is also in custody over fraud! Oh dear!

[Haziel83]

R u serious??? I think it's only rumors though.

[BadGuy2009]

Sorry but i have to say that the intro wasn't really that great and attention grabbing, buts the footage it great though.

[CorvetteTeaser]

lol ooh its an asspod

[gmakepiece]

Excellent, worthy, subtle, nuanced, tragic, frightening, bizarre, hilarious and much more. I thank you. Colonel Robert Neville blogspot com

[toangus]

Very good piece of work, you should think about developing it further.

[eltanuma3ak84]

there is some brilliance in this video.. gr8 work

[TaskiyahEmaani]

i didnt get any of this. complete RUBBISH.

[gmakepiece]

TaskBeyondAfeebleMind. That's because you are a dimwitted lazy twerp.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

back at ya :)

[BadGuy2009]

Me neither :S

[saturnfan32x]

this is bullshit . . and boring as hell

[Samsterrz]

thank fuck.. i thought i was the only one that noticed -.-

[odustyo]

I remember the really old IKEA before the one in city center. I forgot where it was though...Does anyone know where it used to be?

[BadGuy2009]

Since they opened in Dubai, it has been in Dubai's City Centre and Abu Dhabi's Marina Mall.

[moreunderstanding]

Hey If they need any local to due a radio comerical just call Saeed Arif Belgaizi ,his english is perfect. goom Belgaizi

[schpeel]

really really really boring bro.

or just amateur time?

[gintesten]

it's an ethnographical work, You!

[nazirdjon]

talking too fast in your native Engish doesn't make you cool

[SRT40004]

im a local fm dubai This is the worse Doc i have ever seen in my life about any city in the world your a loser get a life....

[gintesten]

I think You should first find out what means ethnographic researc.

[crazywaters]

My friends live there because its cheap and they pay not taxes, but as in most countries don't have any connection with the rest of the people. You mingle with people of your status or social background. Noone would like to leave their country for any other reason than holidays, business or survival. And that is what they do in Dubai too. You go for a reason, not for the place. If you like the place too, its even better. I couldn't stand the heat, sand and in-out the A/c. They need more trees.

[Optimusnorm]

The airport scenes were in Abu Dhabu airport not Dubai...

[sami9481]

haha true...

[fineliving88]

i love the commentary

[proceedapathy]

DO BUY!

[ArabianKnight1201]

I hope i picked ip those cans in the begining of the documantry...

[bros77]

This is beautiful.

Points well made, and seems to caputre the empty, vapid, fake beauty of the town.

Well done!! (the problem with Dubai is it started to believe its own press - an error that no one least of all a heavily marketed destination should do - after all the whole place is built on sand.....)

[myworld21st]

dubai is like a video game. the true reality is shown in this documentary. the actual people who work hard realise the reality. while the millionaire who did not work to earn such money lives in an artificial world.

[SKVPC]

This is a great documentary. It is shot without voice overs screaming at what you should look at. Radio stations d.j.'s voices provide a real feeling of the Dubai. The conversation of T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole)and The Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness) is a great opening and sums it all up. Thanks for this film, and hope to see more.

[muro86]

LOL....Its an ice butt!

[umealvi]

its an ice pod lol heheh thts hilarious

[HaHaLooLoo]

LOL OH ITS A NICE POD LMAO

[nonameface24]

"we could pick someone else if you want" gahahah!

[jerzkid87]

Wish you gave citations and sourced your clips etc.

[bacolod7654]

I like the scene its social relevant. You have a point to show how reality is to be. The Picture perfect to the tourist and the other side of dubai how city that changes in time, its continious evolve follow the global warming. on how it would end.

[oo00Epidemic00oo]

wow this place is nice .

[nanohurtz]

"no place to work.." Get an education. Travel. Find Job. Dubai = Sim City. Perfect in every way. Now if only we can get people with distinct socialogical barriers to play nice with each other. Maybe in a generation or 2. Why don't you show the children who play with each other? Hmmmm....

[dominican1000]

yea yea Shida shut upp and wash the freking video and go learn some History, (ignorant)

[shida787]

in reality arabs have a severe inferiority complex, they pretend to be proud. When persians and indian subcontinet was a civilization they were drinking dirty water and living in filthy conditions.

[DubaiLegend]

it's true that they were drinking dirty water BUT they were proud of their tribes and their morals and ethics.

[kabooshkaboosh]

this is so well done.. so well done. everything is thought out very very well. the screen shots, the sound, the lighting.. everything. thanks for sharing..

[Poland1st]

Technically perfect, I like the shots and sound.

[budreya]

not to burst your bubble or anything... but that's Abu Dhabi's airport, not Dubai's

otherwise, very interesting.

[sorso08]

hahahahhahahahah its an ipod, "oh its an icepod" hahaha

[wushustagedust]

Sorry i have yet to see it fully coz internet is slow at work. Ill watch it at home later. I really like your shots. Lets work together one day!!! i like your focus on environment shots with voiceovers, thats the kinda filmwork i love.

[fugstar]

when do we get the fightclub version!

[omairways]

Dubai Fight Club, good idea... You are not your khakis, you are not your job, you are not your freakin 4x4... the first rule of Dubai Fight Club is?

[inferno0020]

@omairways

You don't talk about Dubai Fight club in Arabic.

[aerosolarabic]

I feel you on this. Dubai is one strange place...! Great video

[timeblind]

Nice job !  great editing

[omairways]

this is a msg from a lady from canada... debcam77

Hi Omairways,

Enjoyed your doc on Dubai. You did a great job of capturing the industrial environment--and of course the security guard interview was fantastic. I am a Canadian journalist, planning to go there at end of November for a month. Am interested in writing on the situation of workers in Dubai and wonder if you have any useful suggestions, either of contacts or strategies. Even better, perhaps we can meet up if you are still there?

[casaleao]

q:where does michael jackson go to after "neverland"?

a:"never ever land".

(lived in dubai for six yrs.still don't miss it.)

[PentagramSchematic]

me too i've lived here for 8 years (9 in march) and i hate this place...it's just a temporary place. come here,make money, go back to your country...

[araborigine]

Please make your departure soon, then.

[omairways]

(cont...) ...and honestly i used to think that dubai is full of shit..i mean the way of living here..their culture..the way they treat expats..especialy the ones who come from poor countries(like me)..in short,there is a huge percentage of discrimination here..and thats one reason why i did not like this place..

[omairways]

this is a msg that a guy sent me about my film:

hello...im eljay..a 20 year old filipino working here in dubai(starbucks)...i came here when i was 18 years old...and ive seen the documentary that youve made..and if i could respectfuly give my opinion about it,i would have to say that..its ok...i mean .. youve captured some important views about the people working here..their feelings..the way they see dubai..and also the locals who are living here... (cont.)

[videowallah]

thought provoking and chilling. You have captured the emptiness at the heart of the Gulf states.

[avocadogreen]

very thought-provoking and chilling indeed :)
