Review of Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) by Douglas W — 10 Jun 2008
More of a cultural than a political experience, in which the western viewer is treated to rare conversation with Arab and Asian muslim ordinary people. It is for this reason, including the humour shared between charismatic Spurlock, the viewer and his interviewees that the film is a valuable document of how all people are essentially the same and how borders, nations and religions are fundamentally insignificant and detrimental to human interaction.
As most intelligent viewers would have predicted beforehand, the question of the title and its eponymous anti-hero are shown to be almost entirely irrelevant to the aims of the film and the concerns of those in it.
It's just nice to see Morgan out there spreading the love, even if nothing exciting or controversial happens in the film.
