Did They Fail?!
Did people really gave up on cinema, theatre, literature etc... for extreme-religion or did the movie-makers, actors, writers, and artists sell out on them?!
Just wondering!

I think it's the fact that the artists have, and continue to, fail at providing anything of quality.
Proof is that like your aunt, there are millions of "quasi-religious" Egyptians who will watch Barakat movies and listen to Abdel Wahab tunes, all while playing lip synch to Qaradawi-like "the arts are the root of moral corruption" ("alFann asl elfasad") statements.

Never liked el lela e kebeera, couldn't find anything extraordinary in the words or the music, what always baffled me is that no one agreed with me on that as if it's a taboo to admit that it sucks, same thing goes to lord of the rings, harry potter and finally this week X-men 3 (just a major piece of crap with everyone coming out of the theatre brainwashed into thinking how awesome this thing he just saw was).

the problem is in the quality of art given to people not in art itself.. Egypt is not going to be land of Alzawahry or Alqradawy with all my respect to the above comment...even if this what appears on surface...but i still belive that it will be over...( i am old enough to tell you this..and remember the wards of Gamal Bekheet about 3am Batata..which actually describe the immortal egyptian soul)
