Afghan Star is about the people in Afghanistan who enter into an talent show where they sing for the country, where the people will vote on who they think is the best. They based the movie on the American show American Idol. They had to do things very traditional or the people will not vote for them. If they dont do right by their country, the people will go against them.
While watching the movie it reminded me alot of the American show American Idol, they went around to neighboring countries to find the best singers. In order to win you had to have the most votes from the people, anything wrong in the peoples eyes they will not vote for you. The movie was very cultural, they did everything under their cultural beliefs.
The girl that was picked to go to the finals did a beautiful song biut she did a little dance. To the poeple of her home town that was a sign of disrepect. A women in their country isnt suppose to dance, expecially on tv in front of everyone. Many people felt she let her home town down. As people got interview they said she should be killed, she had to live in an other country to stay safe. As the show got to its final three, she got eliminated because of the dance she did on stage, and her people wouldnt support her. When she returned home they had to sheild her so that she wouldnt be killed or harmed.
When they showed videos of how their country used to be before they all started worshiping the Islamic Nation. The people was able to dress how they pleased and they were able to sing without an hassle. To the people music is accepted, music is all they really have, so for them to have the music contest was good. With nothing to really do the people listened to music. Many wish the country could go back to how i used to be, where everyone was free to do what they liked.
The man with the long hair was the that won the contest, he got most votes and it made the people happy. The people did make a good choice because he did have a good voice to match what the people were looking for.
