Stranger at the gate, interesting!

When I first heard about it, I said to myself, ok, another movie based on war and hate related topic, must be a person kept in captivity or inspired by someone?

I have no temptation to have any intellectual, audio, or visual interaction with the movie, as I have seen enough and it's not my cup of tea anymore.

I was born and raised in Pakistan watching every evening, on national TV news about the Afghan war and collateral damage effects on my country, in my childhood. This was also a contributing factor for no motivation for these kinds of movies.

I got introduce by the cast, director and the producer during the show in my institution, and it was an eye opener for me, it has nothing to do what I have mention above, it's about a person not in custody or influenced by companion ship, planning massive distraction, while doing ground work for his plan of action, got carried away just because one person welcome him nicely and the family ready to share their table with him! This is how strong human emotions can be!

As it was said by our Prophet Muhammad PBUH - "You're smiling in the face of your brother is charity" book of Jami at- Trimidhi.

I was amazed how a simple gesture of welcoming and family interaction on dining table can change the perception of people and can expose the good heart.

I have no words to describe my feeling about the movie other than to say, What a group of people with exceptional basic human qualities!

What a person, who was able to open his inner soul eyes to see the beauty and overcome his anger!

What a production team, able to see the real face of Islam and projecting it the way it is!

And what a movie!!!
