   yeah, look away from the problems, party, party, party.

   I think that it is a good representation of our generation of party people…but, escapism or “Joy de Vivre“, that is the question. I personaly prefer to view it as “Joy de Vivre“, until the end of times!

   By far „The Basement“ has more effort, more tact, more style and more talent. I wouldn’t like to see it miss.

20. aicha labban // Okt 28, 2009 at 15:32

    Sorry to be the party pooper here…but as much as i love Jade as an outstanding DJ and leb artist and surely Mr Sehnaoui as well, i simply hated the concept of this ad for the simple reason it reflects at the end the desolation and destruction of Beirut and the „who gives a fuck let’s just go back inside and party“ which is the exact attitude of irresponsability we suffer from out here in lebanon!!!! but am still voting for this clip by solidarity with my fellow lebanese compatriots and The Basement that i find a very cool underground club, i was there the day it opened its doors and have been a big fan and supporter of Jade since always….

21. mario // Okt 28, 2009 at 16:00

    I love it !!! Excellent short movie :)))

29. sara // Okt 29, 2009 at 03:10

    full support! great video…living in milano and so far nothing like the basement (looks wise and music wise) and NOTHING like the Lebanese nightlife and spirit.
    Spreading the word here.

    As for miss aicha’s labban comment.

    Well it’s true what you said but at the same time it’s what keeps us going at some point and yes believe it or not lebanon has been on an unstable political roller coaster for ages now and that’s how the people coped with that and it is part of our culture and our ability to go on, that goes for everything else not just clubbing.

30. kevork keshishian // Okt 29, 2009 at 03:28

    It’s amazing, and i am part of this club !!

    it’s my home

31. Sp00n // Okt 29, 2009 at 04:20

    The film was a gr8.. but the ending’s too much over.. i was better if you guys filmed the real outdoor of The Basement and had yourselfs some better and more realistic way of view.. okay lebanon is f*cked hard but this isn’t something to be honored with.. 10/10 for editing and sfx.. the guy looked so stupid in the end =d

    Good Luck Sari…. Kisses

41. Joseph // Okt 30, 2009 at 12:01

    Bad Concept!! You are just harming Beirut picture in this movie just for revealing a normal clubbing night in Beirut!
    Shame On you!

42. اhala // Okt 30, 2009 at 13:06

    Well done Sari

    I really loved It

43. Andy // Okt 30, 2009 at 14:53

    stupid video and as usual – using the already destroyed image to push someone else’s plans. you know foreigners care more about destroyed building rather than new modern ones.

44. Jawad L // Okt 30, 2009 at 14:59

    Loved it until the part when the couple wanted to go out. Having a city in disaster and the safety is only restricted underground the club horrified my foreign friends who were watching this & asking „it’s not your first time lebanese with this indifferent attitude!“ enjoy your party on misery’s ashes. Hard to explain this to canadians I guess :s

45. Nancy // Okt 30, 2009 at 16:38

    Good Job Sary! Excellent video!

46. karim // Okt 30, 2009 at 19:58

    To all of you who dislike the shocking content of this video and find it „immoral“:

    First of all guys, this is a VIRAL, it’s suppose to be shocking or outrageous by definition.

    Concerning the end of the video, where all Beirut is reduced to ashes: Don’t you think it’s a cynical mockery of the political situation there? Take the last political event for example, all the population, the press including the foreign press had their hopes on the last MP elections to cease the political blockade.. Six month have passed…and still no new government! The population has no control whatsoever on the course of their politics.
    I feel the end is just a stretched mockery of what is going on there… Yes Beirut is in aches, but what can we do? Nothing! Lets go back to party.

    Keep it up Sary… you’ve done an amazing job!

47. Fabienne // Okt 31, 2009 at 12:16

    Genial !!!!
    Bravo !On attend les autres petits chefs d’oeuvre

48. ACEKONG // Okt 31, 2009 at 12:25

52. Jawad L // Nov 3, 2009 at 12:05

    @ karim: Maybe you should check the history of revolutions. I am no leftist by the way…A tour in Europe history can do you good for example… this is hilarious :“Yes Beirut is in aches, but what can we do? Nothing! Lets go back to party.“
    BRAVO *clapping hands*
