The Princess & the Marine (2001 TV Movie)
5/10
fairy-tale
29 July 2001
The scene of passing camel and goats roaming in front of the marine HQ was the most laughing part in the movie. The area happened to be one of the most recent developed areas on the Island. So it was very funny and unnecessary at the same time. It is Hollywood stuff and adding spices to already poor-tasted recipe might make some difference!!

Since it is a true story, the least the marine could have done to convince the girl and the audience world-wide (besides accepting demotion at work and standing to the Immigration harassment on arrival at Chicago Airport) was to convert to Islam so the marriage could gain acceptance. Caused this is mandatory for a Muslim girl to do, as a Muslim woman is not allowed to marry non-muslim. There are thousands of all sorts of males nationalities ( be it Americans , Europeans etc..) who fell in love with Muslim girls - but have to convert to Islam to get married.

The movie is a fairy-tale like that it could have been extracted from the folklore "The Thousand-night-&-night" book. Mind you Bahrain is an Arab Country and used to be named the "Land of Eternity". All are welcome.
