In support of "the king" ... Artists launch a campaign "We watch, then we judge" ... and tweeters are denouncing it.

Egyptian artists launched the hashtag #Watch_After_God, on social media, in support of the Egyptian actor Amr Youssef, the hero of the series "The King", whose suspension was announced a few days ago.

A number of artists participated in the tag, including the artist Kinda Alloush, Amr Youssef's wife, who published the tag on her official account on "Instagram", accompanied by a comment: “We are making art to tell stories so that we can make people happy and entertain them and let them think .. Do not judge the answer from its title, It is your right to read the entire answer and its time to judge, and if social media has turned into an artistic court, it has the right to prevent or stop a work that we do not know. The demand for prevention is loss, life and injustice, and any artist who competes with honor and morals will support his colleague, and we support our honorable colleagues. "

Among the artists who supported this campaign: Ahmed El-Sakka, Dina El-Sherbiny, Reem Mostafa, Ahmed Daoud, Amr Salama, Mohamed Abdel-Rahman, Ahmed Shami, Ahmed Fahmy and others.

For their part, the pioneers of social media circulated the tag, some of them supported it and expressed solidarity with the campaign, but the majority of them launched a campaign denouncing the campaign, and expressed their opposition to it for not accepting to watch any series that may contain in its content a distortion of history and respect for human minds.

One of the tweeters, who opposed the show of the series, said: “After you watch and judge what will happen, who will fix the distorted thought of children and historically uneducated children, we will convince our children how to say if Ahmose is bald and without beef and no sash, who dares to write in a history book after that, that the kings The Egyptians considered poetry an impurity and a sign of defeat and disappointment. "

Another said: "The suspension came after the public objected to the mistakes that were shown in the promotional clip ... This is how it happens when the public is aware of mistakes and diagnoses the mistakes and there are producers who respect the audience."

It is noteworthy that the series "The King", which was scheduled to be shown in Ramadan 2021, deals with the life story of King Ahmose and is taken from Naguib Mahfouz's novel "A Good Struggle", but the United Company for Media Services in Egypt announced its suspension after a decision to form an urgent committee. From a group of specialists in history, archeology and sociology, to watch the series, review the entire scenario, and express an objective and professional opinion.
