Samer Al-Masry: "Respect the modesty of art." Criticisms of Syrian drama.

In a direct and frank message, Syrian actor Samer Al-Masry expressed his deep dissatisfaction with some scenes shown in Syrian dramas, which he described as containing "obscene language and vulgar jokes." Al-Masry, who is participating in two historical and contemporary series this Ramadan, called on his fellow artists, producers, and writers to respect "the ceiling of modesty in art" and avoid using such scenes, which tarnish the reputation of Syrian drama.

"Funny" and "trend-begging"... scathing accusations

Al-Masry leveled scathing accusations at drama producers who rely on vulgar and obscene scenes, arguing that they do so for the sake of "being funny" or "begging for trends." He asserted that such scenes do not serve the artistic work, but rather harm Syrian drama, which is known for its respect for the intellect and taste of Arab viewers.

"Dramatic justification" is a prerequisite for bold scenes.

Al-Masry did not object to bold scenes in general, but rather stipulated that there be a "dramatic justification" for them. He said, "When there is a dramatic justification for any scene, no matter how bold, we will definitely enjoy it." He added that bold scenes that serve the dramatic context do not harm art, but rather add to it.

"Respecting the Viewer's Mind"... A Call to Advance Art

Concluding his message, Al-Masry called on Syrian drama producers to respect the intellect of Arab viewers and present artistic works that elevate public taste. He emphasized that Syrian drama is capable of producing successful works of art without resorting to obscene and vulgar scenes.

"Muawiyah" and "Underground"... Participation in two different works

Samer El Masry is participating in two completely different series this Ramadan. The first is "Muawiyah," in which he plays the role of Omar Ibn Al Khattab, and the second is "Underground: Hot Season," in which he plays the role of "Ahmed." This diverse participation reflects El Masry's acting abilities and his desire to present artistic works that are worthy of his audience.
