I will not describe the movie, nor will I post a review here, because this is not my intention. There might be spoilers below...
The movie was directed by an Israeli, yet the plot somehow, in my opinion, served both sides, it wasn't biased. I live in Germany, thus, movie names appear to me in German, this is how the movie appeared to me: "Der ägyptische Spion, der Israel rettete", which literally means, "The Egyptian spy, who saved Israel", when this is not true on so many levels, because that Egyptian spy is considered a hero in both Egypt and Israel, not only that, the movie itself didn't show any bias, even in the original title. It is illogical to have it translated it that way. The whole point of the movie is to let you decide whether he was a spy or a double agent, and you go on spoil with something that is biased and isn't even true? This is literally an unsolvable mystery, because as I said he is considered a hero in both countries, and no one knows who really helped.
If translations shall be done, they have to be done exactly, I don't know who translated this, and who knows how many other languages that have "biased inaccurate titles". I demand that this title is literally translated: The Angel -> Der Engel.
Thanks for reading.
