How many times have you read an excellent book and been so disappointed when you watch it as a movie?
I was afraid to watch The Prophet. I was so afraid to spoil all the imagination I have had every time I have read The Prophet or even a small part of it from time to time. And The Prophet isn't just an excellent book. For me it is a philosophy of life, a reference, an anchor. So yes, I was really afraid to watch the movie, but I did, because I have to.
The colors, the sounds, the settings, the music, the voices, everything about this movie woke up Gibran inside me. It is like he came to life, or maybe I just want to believe that?
The movie looks like the paintings and drawings in Gibran's museum in Becharre (Lebanon), it feels like the makers knew Gibran, it feels like they understood him... there is his touch in the movie... or is it just me?
The movie is a must, especially if you're a Gibran addict (because you cannot just "like" Gibran Kahlil Gibran).
It is an artistic masterpiece, thank you!
