A case of controversy and verbal arguments flared up on social media platforms recently after the statements made by Egyptian actor Youssef El Sharif during a dialogue with the journalist Ramy Radwan, during which he affirmed that he places restrictions on himself in relation to the artworks he presents, as he refuses to be a party to any scenes "Hot" as described.

But he went on to explain, that these conditions pertain to him alone and reflect his personal convictions, and do not detract from his respect for colleagues in his profession or pay zakat himself on them, all of which is that he seeks to make his work environment comfortable and appropriate to his ideas that he imposes on no one but himself.

Attack and defense

Although Youssef Al-Sharif began implementing these limits after his movie "He Is Chaos" in 2007, that is, more than 10 years ago, which resulted in depriving him of several roles, this controversy did not arise until this year, specifically in Ramadan 2020.

After one of them created a fake account in the name of the actress Sahar Al-Sayegh, who participated in the Sharif starring in the series "The End", and published a pamphlet in which he stated that the Sharif places conditions stipulating that he will not come into contact with women during his artwork.

Which met with a time of mockery at the head of some, artist Sabri Fawaz, and if his response came implicitly, which is the same way in which he interacted with the current controversy, where he recently published pictures of kisses shown in famous classic films.

Producer Muhammad al-Adl was also one of those who attacked al-Sharif, denouncing the move from the "clean cinema" stage to the "non-contact" stage. While the director Magdy Ahmed Ali stated that the representation does not relate to reality, but rather has always been part of a work of art that has rules and foundations, and most importantly, any author or director who respects himself and his profession will not accept conditions that affect the credibility of the drama.

And if that did not prevent some of the stars from supporting the sheriff and standing in his capacity, headed by the poet Amir To'eima, who admired those who defend freedom of expression and the rights of others whenever they wanted to publicize actions that angry God, then attack those who refuse to provide something that offends modesty.

With the awareness of freedom of opinion and who always defend all who anger our Lord, they attack the man who wants to please our Lord in his work and refuses to offer anything that offends modesty in his works.
Originally, his opinion was not blown on others, he only chose a comfortable and successful path for him.
O Jadaan, the soul that gets out of you can never come back to you.

On the other hand, the artist, Ayten Amer, tweeted that she was not angry at Sharif's statements and does not understand the secret of the uproar over his personal opinions, confirming his freedom to embrace what he loves as long as he did not harm others, and it is the same opinion that the artist Nahed Al-Sibai declared despite adopting artistic convictions that are different from the Sharif.

As for the stars of the comedy, those who announced their position, the actor Hisham Majid, who found that the public has the right to stop following the work of the sheriff if he wishes to do so, but it is not his right to distort him as a human being or to demand his exclusion as an artist. Freedom of expression is guaranteed to everyone and the sheriff does not impose his works on anyone.

The Captain of the casts settles the controversy

Before the actor captain, Ashraf Zaki, came out to settle the controversy raised, and declares that Youssef El Sharif is one of the most important artists of the Arab world at the present time, and even proud of the union, stressing his right to express his opinion without the right of others to direct insults to him.

In the face of all this confusion, he did not find the fans of Yusef Al Sharif, who started from the tag # Support_Yusef_Al Sharif on Twitter to express their support for him and their support for his stance, and even his courage to state his opinion, despite his realization that he would be attacked because of him from the people of his profession before anyone else.

While Al-Sharif himself responded to the attack that was launched against him, explaining that he used the expression "rejecting hot scenes" and not "touching women" as it was published on the alleged account, which makes him wonder about holding him accountable for a lie that is not attributed to him from the ground, which is the same thing confirmed by the journalist Rami Radwan in a post on his Facebook page.

Clean cinema

The term "clean cinema" appeared at the beginning of the third millennium, with a large number of actresses wearing the veil, with the desire to continue acting, while most comedian artists made films without hot scenes, without explicitly announcing their positions on "clean cinema", such as artist Mohamed Heneidy, who confirmed in more than one television interview that he offers films for Arab families, and therefore does not accept the presentation of scenes that are not suitable for children, and the artists Ahmed Helmy, Mohamed Saad, Amir Karara, Ahmed Makki, Ashraf Abdel-Baqi, and artists Hanan Turk and Yasmine Abdel Aziz, as the latter offers comic films Family Movie, a regular type of universal movie directed at all ages, with children often starring at.
