Review of Paradise Now (2005) by Marcos A — 11 Apr 2009
Paradise Now is a very realistic film about the Israel-Palestine conflict which follows two friends Said and Khaled, who are recruited by an extremist group for a suicide bombing at Tel-Aviv as a revenge against the Israeli oppression.
However something goes wrong and the attack is postponed giving the two friends some time to think over their action. At the beginning Said was a little hesitant while Khaled was very determined but at the end it became just the opposite with Said pulling the chord in a bus.
The feelings of the two leading characters are carefully explained and brought to you very realistically by an outstanding performance of Ali Suliman and Kais Nashef. Though it becomes a little slow at the end, the situation of a suicide bomber during his last hours is beautifully shown.
A must watch for all!!!
