Plot Summary
An innovative 'magic realist' documentary set in Iraq. Filmmaker Mark Cousins, who was brought up in a Northern Irish war zone, travels to Goptapa, a Kurdish/Iraqi village of just 700 people on a tributary of the Tigris river, and tries to make a dream film about a place that is normally only portrayed in current affairs programmes. He gives the kids cameras. They make little movies about war, love, a fish that goes to a magical place, and a chicken who debates justice. Despite the production being stopped twice by the Iraqi secret police, The First Movie is about wonder and the power of the imagination.
Customer Reviews
Inspiring film!
Really great well worth a watch!
The first movie
I found this movie very boring because all it is about is a young boy making something and drives a truck down a street. I do know why anybody in there right mind would want to see this really boring film. Why would anybody want to spend £9.99. I know that some people would say that the little boy in this film was cute but a film is not about one character looking cute it is about the film as a whole. If you want to buy this film then you are stupid just WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO!
