Paradise Now

Like what RJ said (and congrats to u RJ), not the one in Over the Hedge, its a little below expectations given my lofty hopes for the movie. Like such stories, a little tale of 2 suicide bombers, living in constant oppression and humiliation, signed up to be martyrs, fight their inner demons, we all know the story. It is a simple story, nothing exceptional, it's a great film because someone actually made the effort to start writing a story like that and film it.

It probably works better as a documentary. The Arab-Israeli conflict is the greater story. The other stories beneath it are just sub-plots. The buildings, the life behind the plot in the movie is the greater story.

Thats all. Late for a few weeks this post. Didn't turn out the way I want to write it but nevermind. And I will want to be an Arab in my next life. Super handsome. Like Naufal.
