Al-Mohager

فيلم المهاجر
125 minutes
Trivia (9)
  This is Youssef Chahine's second film inspired by events and characters from the Bible after his film 3Awdat Al-Ibn Al-Dal.
  In the film's introduction, Arabic text was written that seems aimed at narrow-minded viewers, while the French text differs from the Arabic and explains the film's story more clearly, as shown in the following points:.
  Arabic introduction: The events of this film bear no relation to any story or incident in history. It is a special cinematic vision inspired by humanity's heritage.
  French introduction: Comme Joseph, fils de Jacob dans les Livres Saints, le jeune Ram, en but à l'hostilité de la nature et de la brutalitè de sa tribu, quitte son pays, pour l'Egypte des pharaons, à la recherche du savoir et de la lumière. Ce film est l'hostoire de ce combat..
  Translation of the French introduction: Like Joseph, son of Jacob in the Holy Books, Ram leaves his country and heads to the Egypt of the pharaohs, because of harsh nature and the brutality of his tribe, in search of knowledge and light. This film depicts that struggle.
  The artist Hanan Turk's name appeared in the credits as: "حنان التركي".
  Ram's mother died eight years before the film's events begin.
  The name of Ram's deceased mother: "Salma".
  Ram is from "Tanay".
Goofs (10)
 From the angle of Ram's first whipping, the blow appears to come from a certain direction, but when we see Ram's back, the marks are not at the angle they should be; instead, the blood mark is horizontal.
 When The Child tries to rescue the little goat from the mountain at the beginning of the film, the image is clearly composited when some dust falls.
 When Basma decides to kill The Baby Girl, she sits up as she says it, but in the next shot she is still lying on her back on the bed.
 The steam rising from the pot that Ram is stirring appears not to be real steam from a hot pot, but merely artificial smoke.
 When The Man who is running from the soldiers falls to the ground, we see him lying on the ground, but in the very next shot he suddenly sits upright.
 When Ram tells Amyahar in the presence of Sinuhe that he came only to learn farming, he smiles as he says it, while in the next, wider shot his expression is serious.
 When Ram asks A Lady to teach him farming and he answers, we hear him begin the sentence from behind even though his lips are not moving.
 When Ram places the plants in the sandy ground, he is wearing white and brown loincloths, but when he turns around, the brown cloth that was around his waist is no longer visible.
 When Ozir mounts the donkey to leave Ram's land, the person riding the donkey has a much thinner body than Ozir.
 When Ozir tells Sinuhe that Ram is stubborn, we see her eyes looking downward, but in the next shot they are looking at him.
