Movie Reviews of Promises
Movie Review: To understand the paradox
Summary: 4 Stars
This document is a nice effort to explain for those like us that live very far away from the Palestinan & Israelian problems. The day to day life, shows that there are no possible solution to those people from both sides of the table. It looks like the religion and military control of the space is the main cause of this unending confrontation that grow since this people are born. This is a very good way and a very human one, to understand the conflict between Palestinian Hamdas and Israel military control of the arabs in this part of the world.Movie Review: the future of the middle east
Summary: 4 Stars
this movie was very good. everyone should see it because you don't know what it is like to live there, but these kids bring you alot closer to understanding. the children in Israel and Palestine are the future of the middle east and through them there is hope.Movie Review: A lesson
Summary: 4 Stars
The docum. shows how palestinian and israeli kids see each other, and give a potential hope for peace in the middle east. Through the games, laughter and tear, Promises is a good movie that will make you think about life and humanity.Movie Review: Very well done, but slanted
Summary: 3 Stars
Filmaker Goldberg interviews several Israeli and Palestinian children from the late nineties up until the start of the second intifada. The movie often shows how the Israeli government influences life for the Palestinians, yet does not show why certain precautions, such as checkpoints, take place. We see a young girl waiting on line for hours to see her jailed father. Well, that may hit some on a purely emotional level, but what did that father do to land himself in jail? That is not explored in this movie. Goldberg presents the Palestinians as being helpless people who only have rocks to defend themselves, but how does a bus blow up with a rock? The filmaker shows a picture of a child killed by Israeli soldiers, but where are the pictures of young Moshe's friend who was killed in a terrorist attack?
In all, I feel that the movie is entertaining and gives a human face to the people involved in the world events we so often read about in the papers, but would be better if the filmaker didn't show the Palestinians as being justified for terrorizing a whole society. A very Pro-Palestinian film which is VERY critical of Israel's history in the past fifty years and the current government.
Movie Review: Difficult to follow
Summary: 3 Stars
The message is a great one if the person watching is able to read the fast paced subtitles. The adults in the group had no difficulty, but some of the youth were unable to keep up with the written dialogue.
