Something I've never thought about.

I watched a movie last night on a topic I had never thought much about. The movie is called Paradise Now. It is about two Palestinian friends who are chosen to be suicide bombers in Tel Aviv in revenge of a Israeli army killing. The movie shows the night before and day of the planned bombing. I found it fascinating because we hear about suicide bombings in the news and as "First World Westerners," we see them then forget about them,"terrible tragedies." This movie puts a face and story to the people and their cause. What was really interesting was the part of the story where we hear a Palestinian voice trying to convince the two not to follow through with their mission. This is a great movie to watch to help understand "the other side." A side note, it is all in Arabic with subtitles.
