In her film, the director Muteer tried to focus on the idea of concentrating on the shape not on the essence, especially in choosing a girl as a wife for a man. Moreover, through the scenario with a Palestinian accent and scenes from a Palestinian life , she discussed how the mother chooses a girl to be a bride for her son, according to his desire, that the girl should be blond with blue eyes, has white skin, and tall, but she doesn't care about the educational, ethical, and cultural sides, because the mother wants her son to educate his bride as he wish. On the other hand, the man" bridegroom" is not educated and ethical one, and he spends all the time deceiving girls and doesn’t care of his unmanageable behaviors, so he bears the bad results of his works at the end of the film. Moreover, the film concentrates on several points, the most important one is that the family is directly responsible for the personality of the girl or the boy, since the carelessness of the mother and discrimination between the boy and the girl, that leads to make a domineering and frivolous son who doesn’t shoulder responsibility and he could have what he wants easily. Some families give forgery information about their sons, such as they say he has a flat or a he is rich or educated one, especially when they search of brides for their sons. Regarding the film under title" the sister and her brother" directed by Omyma Hamoury, it discussed the range of freedom allowed to the girl to choose the partner, and how to know him before marriage, this means that the boy has wide range freedom to know girls, while his sister doesn’t have the same rang. From the traditional proverbs such as " what is allowed for me is not allowed for others" and " the reputation of the girls is like the class panel", the director showed the brother's decisions in a men dominated society, that become more important than the father's decision. Despite the positive feeling of the family members in the film, the director showed the obvious paradoxes in our society, especially when the family allow the boy to make love relations with girls, but forbid the girls to do so, whatever the purpose is even if it is respectable.
