Beirut, I Love You (I Love You Not)

[ameroffsky]

Despite many problems and repeated disasters, we in Lebanon have a lot going for us, and absolutely the best thing we have going for us is the Lebanese soul. This soul is reflected in this short film.

[bitarmario]

This reminds me of "Le Fabuleux Destin D’Amélie Poulain"

[shyzh91]

Mr. sib01, i think you're sounding more cliche with your comment 8-)

I love it people... I've seen some stuff that revolve around this, but this is really good.

[sib01]

i don't see it interesting for poeple that live or have lived in Lebanon. too clichés.

[myriam600]

I left my heart in Lebanon, you make me want to go get it back <3

[snigel4321]

Very very much inspired by "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain".

Even the piano music is very similar.

If you this this is good, check out the Amelie Poulain film.

[Fairick212]

@snigel4321

Yeah I love Amelie and this is actually a tribute to amelie, it's written in the description, "a beirutish tribute to Amelie Poulain" . And it's a wonderful one :)

[anerki90]

I just love this short-movie!very deep and powerful..great job guys

[elchupakapra]

Amazing job, you guys made my day.. the characters' personal relationship and how it intertwines with their bond and connection to Beirut is just brilliant!

Going to have to book a flight back sooner than i thought now

[tshaaban88]

very powerful. I'm glad we have someone representing the arab community with films that actually have meaning and a strong story line. The awards earned for this movie were well deserved :)

[doonaa87]

That was really good! It made me miss beirut <3

[natboustany]

Love it!! who directed it ?!!

[Fairick212]

@natboustany

It says in the description that the directors of the movie are the actors themselves ! Mounia Akl (Yasmine) and Cyril Aris (Tarek).

So funny, in their second short that I just watched, they're brothers and sisters haha

[natboustany]

Love it !! Who directed it ?!

[takhtakh15]

[2912770]

Long live free democratic and prosperous Lebanon, down with hezbollah and radical Islam.

[ghannouge]

[Hasheteer]

so OrangeDogProds, you watched "le fabuleux destin d'amelie poulain" and you got so fascinated by it that you decided to imitate it. doesn't make you artists. not a hint of creativity!

although mashrou' leila are brilliant!

[thermal868]

can someone tell me name of the song that starts in 1:15 to the end,tnx

[elitk]

Guys, this is FANTASTIC!!

I'm not an expert on films, but the camera, the soundtrack, the angles, the edition, the acting... they're all flawless!!!

Made my heart beat faster. Thank you for this. I'm spreading the video to my friends here in Brazil.

[klamata88]

[Ebmakesmusic]

OMG I LOVED THIS :'D x

[odedgilad]

A moving movie. Truely achla!

Oded from Israel, Earth

[shimring]

was browsing videos of my favorite band, Beirut, when I came across this. this was beautiful. I really wish I could visit Beirut some day. when occupation doesn't exist and peace is taken for granted. a matter of days, weeks, tops. the Lebanease "Ameli"... I feel almost ashamed in being surprised to see all these similarities in a place so close, practically up the corner. Beirut looks magical through your eyes. I also smile at strangers, but hate elivators. peace out, neighbours. and love.

[mzea07]

@shimring

Thank you for the beautiful comment :)

[roosoo2]

@shimring so youre from palestine...because there are two neighbours to lebanon and it's syria&palestine and i don't think that you're syrian so you're from palestine right?.....great clip btw

[xpepe12]

Amelie<3

[FaresFayad]

I don't say this often or lightly, but this is one awesome production. I feel so homesick right now...

[Oryon123456]

that ahwaje gentleman at 2:59 is a disgrace to the english language! :P lol

[daliaboop]

nostalgia!!!

dalia bit7ib....bas ydi2o dweleeb il teyara 3ala trabat libneniye...

i miss lebanon!!

gread production!!

[kassabis]

This movie is 100% lebanese, even if people were speaking french... I would recognize that it is lebanese. What is not lebanese though... is all the shit media throws to you about Lebanon and makes you dumb enough to go on youtube and say this isn't lebanese. :) Libnein mishta'lak.

[hshhss]

Thank you

[SounaSalman1]

i will shared on my fb profile ! :D

[SounaSalman1]

Amazing !

[skullous]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah I miss my Lebanon!

Great short film. It brought back so many memories.

If you ever need an original soundtrack for another film, let me know, I'd be glad to help.

Elie.

[josephleb]

amazing lebnese product ;)) 7asset la 10 mins enne bi lebnen ma3 my friends w khbaroun ...

[lousha01]

it doesnt reflect anything lebanese. I live in Lebanon since i was born. This approach is more international and westernizing lebanon like Amelie Poulain is just "deja-vu"

[antoinearis]

My friend, this movie was written & played by Lebanese, & it took place in Lebanon. So why being so despising telling "it doesnt reflect anything Lebanese?

Open your geography books: Lebanon is at the crossroads between East & West. Whether you like it or not, its identity is deeply affected by an international approach.

Open your mind, & accept that every Lebanese can chose the approach they'd like to have towards their country. "You have your Lebanon and I have my Lebanon" (G.K. Gibran)

[antoinearis]

Finally, open your eyes, and read: at the right-top corner of this page, the movie was presented as a "Beirut-ish" tribute to Amelie Poulain.

Until then,.. I wonder where the hell have you have lived in Lebanon, given that you don't recognize anything Lebanese in this movie!

[monzr93]

Amazing movie. U people really bring out wat is best in lebanon in this video. And the thing with the cab driver, tht nearly braught me to tears, coz i live in Kuwait and i know wat it's like, not being able to touch the sand out of which God made me.

[mnshammas]

fantastic :-) I was enthralled for its entirety

[LeTaliawi]

a la Amelie Poulin, huh?!

[LeTaliawi]

lol @ the little girl in 2:19

[siggisiggibangbang]

I liked it. Makes me want to visit Lebanon.

[Tranquila07]

It gives your more energie than a redbull! Haha! Fantastic!

[mortecio]

Hey - Great movie, loved it... Well done!! Keep it coming!

[halaakl]

To bibakay

The richness of Lebanon lies in it's diversity.

It is nor a Christian country exclusively nor a Muslim country exclusively.

It is both. Or none. But it is not exclusively one or the other.

You could use some wiki for info and stats on the topic. Your comment is false and doesn't relate to the movie. It excludes half the lebanese population. It just seeks to provoke and create a debate where there is none.

This is not the appropriate space for such comments.

[bibakay]

Actually Lebanon is NOT a muslim country! It isnt even an arab country [if we wana go this far]: we r the only Christian arab country in the middle east.

[ralph961]

To bibakay:

"Actually Lebanon is NOT a muslim country!" True

"It isnt even an arab country" False

"we r the only Christian arab country in the middle east." Wait, so we're an Arab country now?  Lebanon is neither a Christian nor a Muslim country. Unfortunately it is not secular either.

[Babarock87]

You should not have said that ....

[mirvatte]

Beyrouth! on t'adore

[jessrose0]

Captivating! It made me yearn to be back in Beirut in the early '70s. It made me want to go there again - RIGHT NOW!

[johnakhras]

10 sur 10

bravo

magnifique.
