Movie Reviews of Paradise Now
Movie Review: Palestine Now
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always thought that uneducated and brain-washed people were the kind of people who blew themselves up to kill a few innocent people along. "Paradise Now" makes the very same statement Patrick Henry had once made for another great nation: give me liberty or give me death.
This movie is about a million times more effective in educating the World of the Palestinian fight for freedom and sovereignty than a million suicide bombers could ever achieve. This is a movie that does not bomb, yet explosive to the World's collective conscience.
The movie also showed a glimpse of Tel-Aviv, the capital of Israel. It looks like Miami. It looks like a fun city. It is a modern city. How great it would be if Palestinian cities begin to look like that.
The real peace process between Israel and Palestine has just begun when this movie got released.
Movie Review: A puzzle of encountered feelings, duty, bigotry and alienation!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a hard movie that shows us the enormous ideological bariers in the other side of the world when two men are hired and designed to make a suicide mission working out as "human bombs".
But the theoric plans fall out when the human factor apperas and so both of them will take by different paths. One of them changes of mind and tries by all his means to avoid his partner takes over woth the original mission.
The dialectic confrontation, the confuse and awful dramatis personae will appear in this movie whose only default is its narrative pulse, extremely slow, supported by a discrete photography.
But these are simple details that doesn't permeate the dramtic essence of this engaging film.
Movie Review: a conflict between two friends_ this is an effective, hot stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
this film left me like a broken bird. the emotions here are very strong thanks for the two leading actors.the story is too simple to be told.there are a few moments that you will never forget and others that will live with you forever. you can find drama , thriller , some action moments and a genuine use for black comedy in this holly work of art . the directing is good , the sets were picked nicely and the script is a masterwork.when i come to the acting part i can't say nothing but "PERFECT".it is pure cinema at it,s best.i am an arabian and i,ve seen dozens of arabian movies but this one is very special among the others . final words "it will break your heart again , and again , and again".
grade : A+
Movie Review: the most beautiful and riveting film in a long time
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I can't praise this film enough---short and simple, but full of stunning power, beauty and integrity. There are no easy answers or good/evil dichotomies in this complex and tragic conflict, and the film-makers (this was directed by an Israeli Arab, and multinationally funded production) don't cop out on us particularly not at the ending, which is about as non-sensational and non-propagandistic as you could ask for. The two suicide bombers are neither glorified nor demonized; there is a dispassionate and naturalistic tone to the entire film which is quite admirable.
Viewers who are strongly pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian will probably not be very pleased with the results.
Movie Review: The best movie in years
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in the cinema 2 days ago. I have to say it was the most awesome portrayl of the Palestinian situation- to every hit the movie screen. It speaks to people on a real basic level, one where the viewer is forced to think about how they would deal with this situation when every other option was taken away from them.
I also loved how it alluded to the idea of Palestine having a battered wife syndrome at the hands of Isreal. As in they cycle of violence, the purpetrator almost always blames the victim and then claims they are truely the ones being vicimized.
I loved this movie and cannot wait to buy it on DVD.
A big THANK YOU to the people who made & participated in this film!
