The film ATLAS (2024), with a rumored production budget of $100 million, mistakenly assumed that individual Arabic letters were independent, resulting in multiple errors.

I hope you guys find this interesting, in Arabic script, letters within a word are closely connected, forming a continuous flow. Unlike English, where letters can stand independently, Arabic letters rely on their context to create meaningful words. This unique feature contributes to the beauty and elegance of Arabic calligraphy.

For whatever reason they decided to use the flag of UAE on top right to represent the "Arabic" language which is spelled as "Arabi". The flag of the "Arab Revolt" appeared on the top left of the screen, labeled as "Hijazi." This term usually relates to the Hijaz region, located in the western part of present-day Saudi Arabia. I found this both perplexing and intriguing since Spoken Arabic dialect is generally uniform across both Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

They got the letters correctly but did not connect them, this is what it's supposed to look like: https://ibb.co/z6tLF9Z
