The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that "The Blue Elephant" is an excellent movie! I admire the cinematography so much also the directing and professional camera angles and views. Although It wasn't something so new to the creative director "Marwan Hamed" , he really excelled in directing this movie. but, unfortunately, he didn't manage to show us and makes us feel many deep feelings was supposed to be in the novel (which was silly, he didn't manage to transfer the character of *Lobna* and the complicated relation between *Dr.Yehia* her. It was supposed to be a sophisticated deep relation filled with sorrow and depression, and I didn't feel that. I wanted to see seductive spontaneous scenes between *Dr.Yehia* and *Maya*, like the novel, and I was shocked after I had watched all the scenes between them! there wasn't any seductive scenes only one spontaneous scene nevertheless it wasn't a bad scene. The soundtrack the music theme was splendid! it was really good which, also, wasn't something new to Hesham Nazeh. The whole movie falls at the scenario it was so bad, the novel itself was bad and weak and the end, to me, seemed to be a call to ignorance. The movie in compare with modern Arabic and Egyptian movie is a breakthrough even in the storyline, it calls to a new artistic movement in the Egyptian movies industry.
