[Review] Bilal: Desert Warrior - Arabian animated graphics with Hollywood parallels

- Graphics at Hollywood level.

- Message meaning of freedom and equality.

- Speed ​​up the film circuit like using the "time machine".


Bilal: Desert Warrior is based on a true story about a hero named Bilal ibn Rabah. About 1400 years ago, Arab boy Bilal and his sister were abducted and became slaves. With his dream of becoming the greatest warrior, Bilal bravely overcame every challenge to gain freedom for himself and his fellow fighters.

The producer spent seven years caring for the details of the movie. Performance exceeds expectations for a cartoon not from Hollywood. However, the whole is quite "half-lean, half fat". The movements and expressions of the characters in some scenes are still stiff, giving a sense of gameplay. In return, the dream of sand and the battle of Badr can be on par with any Hollywood CGI cartoon.


The two best scenes of the film


If you've ever been enthused with the epic masterpieces of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Bilal: Desert Warrior will not disappoint you. The soundtrack is a perfect blend of European and Middle Eastern music. Besides, every sound and sound are invested in a way that makes sense.

It is known that the production team has thoroughly researched about the character, history and culture to pay homage. The ancient Arab country is full of colors, the costumes of the characters also follow the historical factor. However, those who do not have the knowledge of Islam and culture in West Asia and the Middle East will find it hard to feel good about the hero Bilal. The biography of Bilal ibn Rabah is related to the Prophet Muhammad, probably because of the religious or political reasons that the filmmakers chose not to go into this.


The biggest exception is the unstable film circuit. The story was originally detailed, but the journey Bilal became a hero for the whole nation was simplified. This is also the reason why Bilal heroic qualities have not been clearly portrayed. Even the appearance of the protagonist is more blurry than the villain or teacher. Many scenes are supposed to be high, the director accelerated as if using the "time machine." Leading the story makes the audience feel like viewing historical material.


Bilal: Desert Warrior also condemned the slavery that existed more than 1400 years ago. Slavery is considered a commodity and loses human rights. Their fate is determined by the owners of wealth and authority. Bilal and his sister are also considered shot beer or a green apple. As a man who always longs for freedom, but Bilal does not limit himself in thinking about the status of a slave.

The work also conveyed the message of freedom and equality of every human being. Bilal's late mother has many lines that make the viewer think: "To be a great man is a man without chains." In broader terms, the shackles here not only refer to slavery, but also to human greed: the rich are afraid of poverty, the old are afraid of death, ... These are also the chains that make us Powerful mercenaries borrow money for profit.


Overall, Bilal: Desert Warrior is an animated movie suitable for audiences who love epic genre that mentions culture and religion rather than children.
