Paradise now…

A brave attempt to portrait the true face of what goes in Palestine…
Last night I watched the movie “Paradise Now” which is a Palestinian movie telling a story about two brave ordinary guys who couldn’t take [it] any more…
The movie is beautifully done… the storyline is interesting… and the ending is very clever…
What amazes me is that this movie actually was nominated for this year Oscar for best foreign movie… but it didn’t win… anyways… it is great that such a movie is nominated…
The actors and the setting revived a sense of belonging I thought I don’t have… their accents… their houses… their cloths… it was all somehow like a forgotten grandma’s story she must’ve once told us…
It really brought tears to my eyes…
Well done to all those who made this movie a reality…
I loved it…
