A Study of Islamic Fundamentalism in Egyptian Cinema: Focusing on the Films <Deer’s Blood> and <Yacoubian Building>

The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze how the films “Deer’s Blood” and “Yacoubian Building”, produced in Egypt, express Islamic fundamentalism, and how characters in these films perceive it. Accordingly, this paper analyzes the text of two films, classifies the characters into ‘multifaced/dynamic’ and ‘planar/stereotypical’ character types, and analyzes expressions and perceptions of Islamic fundamentalism. This paper finds that there are two differences in the way the two films show Islamic fundamentalist figures. The first is that “Deer’s Blood” only treats religious leaders and Muslims who have a fundamentalist disposition negatively, while “Yacoubian Building” criticizes fundamentalists and ethically denigrates all religious leaders regardless of their fundamentalist disposition. The second is that “Deer’s Blood” focuses on personal motives, while “Yacoubian Building” emphasizes social motives in describing ordinary characters who have been transformed into fundamentalists.
