The more modern film industry of the Middle East has adopted a specific routine of movies. What I mean is, ever since the corrupt regimes all took power in the 80s, the industry's main priority was to expose their nation's terrible ruler. This can be seen in Egypt's film industry especially. The 2000s were mainly filled with movies that talked about how their society was going downhill and how the corrupt regime was something that needed to be removed. The government quickly saw this and made the connection that this might be the source of any state of mind in which an individual wants to overthrow his/her government. So what the government did was it banned these movies and the prominent actors began not focusing on this anymore.
The fact that the movies whose topics were openly pointing fingers and exposing the government were banned didn't stop the industry from making movies that still talked about tainted the image of the regime. They only were able to do this transparently. Plenty of modern films in the Middle East also talk about the youth and problems that the youth are facing and stuff like that. The funny films are quickly losing their touch seeing that many people (especially these days) aren't very focused on watching a funny movie, although they are still produced.
The nice thing about the modern films is that the budget allows the actors travel around the world and apply better quality to the movie itself and better effects. Many actors have traveled to places such as Thailand, China, Syria, and other places. This can be both work and a fun experience for the actors.
I will make a prediction that the future of the film industry will be mostly comprised up of movies that are talking about the revolutions or that have something to do with them. In fact, there are plenty of movies that are out now that portray the revolutions and such that took place. Plenty of new shows and films are openly insulting the previous regimes seeing that there's not a government out now that will "ban" these movies. However this whole idea of insulting the government openly has never happened before.
My opinion on the modern movies of the Middle East varies from movie to movie, however the majority of the movies I have seen aren't very nice. I believe this is mainly because the plots are losing any originality, actors are becoming worse (hence the emerging new generation that plan to act), and the movies themselves lack any new message. There are however some movies that are very nice. Those are mainly action movies that have many prominent actors and a good plot and so on and so forth. In the end, I believe that the modern film industry needs a few alterations that will make it better than what it was, however they shouldn't focus too much on it.
