Order Paper NowThe chosen film named “The Messageâ€. The Message; originally known as Mohammad, Messenger of God is a 1976 epic historical drama film directed by Moustapha Akkad, chronicling the life and times of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Released in Arabic (1976) and English (1977), The Message serves as an introduction to early Islamic history.
(A general overview of the film – the brief)
The films about the lives of Muslims around the world is given a rich twist with director Moustapha Akkad’s 1976 The Message, in which (according to Islamic tenets) neither the voice nor the image of the prophet Muhammad is depicted. The film itself, the story of the birth of Islam, is an old-fashioned campy epic (heavy-handed dialogue and exposition; lots of hammy acting) in which the “absence†within the “presence†of Muhammad (the film’s central character) is a metaphor for sacredness itself — which begs the question, how do you visualize the sacred? And how do you define it?
This film also tackles the challenge of portraying the prophet Muhammad when the religion forbids representations. “What’s fascinating is that they found cinematic ways to respect religious tradition and custom while telling engaging and entertaining stories,” says Malcolm. “They use . . . other ways of really expressing the powerful spiritual presence of Muhammad without actually depicting him on screen.”
Intro:
It should talks about the meaing of sacred in cinema, what dose that mean. Religion and cinema share a capacity for world making, ritualizing, mythologizing, and creating sacred time, space, and person.

Visualizing the Sacred: Islam on Film. What techniques did the director in the film to talk about the Prophet Mohammed with showing the face of Mohammed, they even could not show his pictures, his voice, or not even his shadows throughout the events of the film because of the idea of sacred in Islam.

More details It is very important to use supporting examples from the thoughtful analysis of those examples to illustrate your points. You will compare the film “The Message†with othes films for example, film “Noah” and how did they show the Prophet in film “Noah. Muslims are very sensitive to portrayals of Prophets on stage and on screen because these are very sacred special people. This is because it is forbidden to show the images of Prophets.
Conclusion:
6- The sacred in films and Islam (others films) What western films could do in cinema that we could not do in Islamic cinema. The Cinema in Islam. Do you agree with that, or not? And why?
