Ayyam El Sadat (Arabic:أيام السادات) (The Days of Sadat) is a 2001 Egyptian biographical film about the late President of Egypt, Anwar Al Sadat. The movie starred several prominent actors, with the late actor Ahmed Zaki as the Egyptian president. It is considered to be one of Zaki's greatest performances, capturing intimate details about the president in great accuracy. One notable characteristic of Sadat was his speech pattern, which Ahmad Zaki captured strongly in his performance.
The movie included several prominent actors of Egypt, including:
Director Muhammad Khan received high praise for his directing of the movie. However, some critics claimed that the movie was a bit too biased, since it only focused on the writings of Sadat himself from his book, In Search of an Identity.
When the movie was released in 2001, it attracted a huge following in Egypt, ranking as one of Egypt's highest grossing movies. This was Zaki's second biographical movie, following Nasser 56.
The melodramic history of an Egyptian president, whose life witnessed the 1973 war, the Jerusalem visit and camp David's peace treaty. Even his death was a legendary scene when fundamentalists shot him dead during the October Military parade. Written by aktowfik
Ahmed Zaki plays the late Egyptian president Anwar El-Sadat, from the days where he was a military officer being discharged for assassinating English associates during the English occupation on Egypt. We see Sadat as he joins the Egyptian revolutionists known as the 'Free Soldiers' and his relationship with young Jihan (Mona Zaki). We also view Sadat as he becomes the president of Egypt after the death of late president Gamal Abdel Nasser, and charging the Armed forces to retrieve the land of Sinai from the Israelis in the 1973 war. Sadat has struggled to clear Egypt from communists and to spread peace around the world, winning the Nobel prize in 1971. Till his unfortunate assassination in 1981, Sadat shook the world.
