Paradise Now

It was a great movie!! I watched it in my Arabic 2 Class (HS not college) it was very well portrayed. One of those movies that show what life is like in the Middle East. Little humor in it (more noticed if you understand the Arab Culture). This is a Must Watch movie, and I highly recommend it!!!

I had to watch this as part of my sociology class.... I really liked the fact that the movie lets you see it from two different persepectives. Its in another language, but its worth watching.... For my own taste I would have liked a better ending... All in all a good watch

This is a really fantastic movie. It's dramatic and compelling while also making you think, offering a very fresh different perspective. Unique partially in the amazing lack of bias while portraying a topic that is always fraught with personal prejudice. I want to watch this movie again and talk about it with the people I love whose opinions I respect. Of course I came to it with my own opinions and it neither confirmed nor denied them, it simply offered new insight. Fascinating. Truly a must watch film for all of us who have grown up in comfort far from any real danger greater than driving our cars on the freeway.

A great perspective from the other side.

It is a phisycological movie that allows you to enter the mind of the character Said and makes you understand what motivates him to do such a terrible act. In the end, we find that he was only one more victim of the system. After this, we need to review all our concepts.

It troubles me that the only other review of this film was so negative. A far more accurate appraisal is to say that this film provides a seldom seen glimpse of the other side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is significant more so however in that it does not really levy any judgement on the actions of either side, but instead provides a fairly objective look at the situation. There can be no doubt this film will anger a great many viewers who hold strong opinions concerning the conflict, however that is only because it serves to remind us that the conflict is anything but simply understood.

Bias, racist, propaganda.
