“Find Brother”: We All Need A Second Chance

“Looking for Brother” is a comedy TV series(published on Netflix in February 2022). As an extension of the “Want to Get Married”, “I” and “IZaa Barz” series, it was first released in 2010. Although the production team retorted. The plot revolves around Ola Abdul Sable. She graduated from the pharmacy department. She is a government employee and a young woman looking for a husband. Many unsuitable men proposed to her, some of them were socially/psychologically flawed, until she finally found the handsome, romantic and rich man she had always dreamed of. Therefore, in order to achieve her goal in life and find a groom, marriage and stability, she finally married the last man, that is, Hissam, a psychologist.

The 2010 version depicts Ola as an old-fashioned girl who belongs to a conservative middle class family and finds a groom before her daughter is 30 years old to avoid becoming an old maid.

A few years later, in Friends, Ola became a typical housewife and mother of two, living a monotonous and problematic marriage life with her husband. Her husband suddenly asked for a divorce. Wu La was shocked and wanted to wake up.

The 2022 version reflects the social development of Egypt and the Arab world in the past 10 years. Marriage at that time was the greatest achievement of women in the Middle East. The only question at present is “who will get married these days”. According to Ola, marriage is a contract between two parties. Only one party benefits, and the other party is excluded. Wu has different views on the concept of marriage. Women’s problems do not end with marriage, but can start with marriage. I found that quitting my job in this scope is an opportunity to be closer to my children. But this may be the reason why Ola gave herself. To prove this, she still feeds her daughter meat. Although her daughter has been a vegetarian for two years. The marriage made the elder brother fall into a daily quarrel with his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was completely dissatisfied with Ola and her character. I’m not satisfied. She is an aristocratic woman. Is the marriage life of Ola more difficult than that of Ola, who was almost called an old maid in the past? Maybe it’s because the latter doesn’t need to swallow antidepressants every morning.

The transformation from Ola’s wife, Hisham, to Ola Abdul Sabur has brought many benefits. Divorce means following her ex husband on Facebook. When he changed his marital status to divorce, everyone congratulated him. This means closing the joint account and creating another account for the children’s expenses. That means a lot. But after she sacrificed everything for her husband and children, Ms. Li began a real journey of self discovery. She quickly recovered her health, developed her career, had financial and psychological independence, and tried to reshape and recover herself. In an era of fanaticism, irritability, personality and growing sense of independence, we decided to maintain balance in our lives. While finding that you should not only take responsibility for yourself, but also keep up with the changes around you, you decided not to ignore your efforts to find a good potential partner.

The most perfect poetic definition

A few years ago, Ola’s daughter suffered from skin rash and eczema. Afraid that her little daughter would use chemicals, Ola decided to use the ancient Egyptian formula learned in college to make cream. This recipe has played a magical role. She has the courage to test more ingredients and make other recipes. This was her dream career in the past, but even if she gave birth to her last child, it would not help to achieve this goal.

When Ola found herself confident in her own entity again, she felt poetic justice. Because she finally found someone who trusted her and was willing to sponsor her small projects.

“Euler’s discovery” is a personal affirmation. When Ola matures and pursues her dream, there is always a chance to start again. At the same time, the importance of entrepreneurial business ideas has also emerged. It depends on the establishment of small projects, not on business philosophy.

The series also proved that it will not be too late to restart. Age is just a number. For a woman, the 1940s did not mean the end of the universe, but the age stage. This means that maturity, discrimination and femininity have reached the peak, and women can open their arms to live their lives” Finding Ola “has a strong tendency towards Arab women, showing a sense of responsibility, women’s support, the maturity of empowering women, and the importance of breaking social stereotypes, meeting life and moving forward. Therefore, women of different ages are portrayed as more open women.

Brother’s mother

This role reflects the importance of self care, self tolerance and breaking stereotypes. Grandma has become a loyal follower of social media, focusing on her beauty and youth. Because it is considered an important part of self satisfaction and mental health.

Neselin

Aula’s Betty represents a free girl. She supports her friends, appreciates friendship, and does not care about social judgments.

Umnia

Ola’s ex husband’s girlfriend represents the millennial generation. Because this generation has unique characteristics. They are good at using social media and technology, especially when they were born in a period of prosperity and great technological development.

1930s vs divorce 1940s Ola

Many changes have taken place between the young brother and the divorced brother, as follows.

She’s bolder

Ola changed her dating application for arranged marriage(often called Sharon marriage in Egypt), weddings, social activities, looking for a husband after divorce, looking for a permanent partner who hopes for a better fate. She must meet people she doesn’t know, and be bolder than them, Face to face, she is no longer rash, but a more confident and mature businesswoman.

Life

Ola’s work as a government employee is just a daily job, She doesn’t want to be engaged in boring work any more. On the contrary, Ola chose to use her knowledge and ability to develop skin care products. Ola’s business has developed rapidly, and her brand has been greatly impacted. However, she still thinks that she has difficulties in marketing in the sense of “age discrimination” or “age based discrimination”. I feel I’m in trouble. Because other products are ignored by other new generations. For example, the new generation at the beginning of the 21st century mistreated animals, so they did not want to buy cosmetics, but the good news is that Ola’s products did not abuse.

social position

“Finding Ola” emphasized this change and said that women’s empowerment is the core of the new development agenda. In the new development agenda, due to major changes in political and social conditions, women’s lifestyles are different. After more than 10 years of marriage with psychiatrists with stable income sources, “Ola Abdel Sabour” has undergone tremendous changes. She became more elegant. Owning a comfortable car, living in a higher social class, wandering with friends in luxury places, and even her hair style, color, makeup and perfume have become more charming and elegant. These scenes are not seen in young Ola’s life.

Mother Tiger

Ola’s mother had a hunch that her daughter could not find her husband. After the divorce, my mother nagged at Ola. In order to make my ex husband come back, I will never do anything. Ola’s mother has a serious problem. She wants her daughter to become a model. Ola is not abiding by the rules, but afraid of herself, so she hopes they will become friends. Finally, Ola has the ability to stand in front of her mother and say everything clearly. The dramatic scenes reflect Euler’s distinct personality, which is different from the comedies familiar to the audience.

Epithelial hyperplasia

In the first season, Ola’s main goal is not to be annoyed by friends and neighbors because she is not married. But in “Looking for Brother”, the only thing she was fascinated by was her mother-in-law’s luck and happiness. My mother-in-law did not miss the opportunity to do so.

although it is a funny way, Ola is still cautious after her divorce, but despite changes in all aspects of life, she is still not happy with her ex husband, his new girlfriend, or even the society. Because she thinks she is different now.

No sexual bias

This series of articles tries to avoid the stereotype of describing strong and independent women in a superficial way, and maintain a balance in dealing with the life of divorced women who have experienced a middle-aged crisis. Middle age crisis is usually reserved for male roles in Middle Eastern dramas. This TV series is about a brother who is forced to rely on himself after being deprived of dignity and security. She has experienced the challenges of the real world and coped with gray alone. She was confused and sometimes hurt, but she still enjoyed the experience. In her journey, she criticized the duality of dealing with women’s issues with a good investigative tone, as well as the good investigative tone that is difficult to be completely independent of the patriarchal society and its laws.

“The first step after divorce is to cut and dye your hair.”.

although the possibility of upgrading the social class is very small, this choice is far from the uniqueness of the first season of the play. Because it reflects the actual life of many people” In Search of Oka, we deal with hot issues such as divorce optimistically and extravagantly, stripping away the main problems that most Middle Eastern women encounter. These solutions are not only fast and simple, but also seem to bring the audience the good feeling that manufacturers want. It tries to provide optimistic medicine to women, even if it is a little deceptive.
