Settlers who took your land and claim to the world being the innocent surround you. They intensely take control of your life, but they also try to take control of your mind too. You have lost your dad as a collaborator of the enemy. You have nothing to live for other than to blow yourself up! You want to regain the dignity and fame your father failed to achieve. You have no idea how long it’s going to take before your people can gain the universal dignity that they deserve. The occupation has possessed and controlled your thinking capacity.It only takes 90 seconds to blow yourself up before you can die as a martyr. OK, this is not a scene from the latest Spike Lee movie, The Inside Man. This is a movie directed by Hany Abu –Assad. Paradise Now is the best foreign movie I have watched in a long time. It’s a movie about the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Two would be suicide bombers take a calculated risk to carry out a suicide mission in Tel-Aviv. This movie will make you understand how the suicide bombers are recruited. If you are native Arab speaking person you will enjoy more than I did. I had hard time catching up with the subtitles.
