Three British-born Muslim youths are being held at Guantanamo prison by the United States as terrorist suspects because they went to a friend's wedding. In the more than two years in prison, they have experienced inhuman treatment. They saw in the movie that when you lose your freedom, you are not as good as a dog, and the impermanence of life is all in it.
This is a truly shocking movie.
The director who deserves one is the director of the film, which really surprised me. It turned out that he had made so many films, and they were all known for their boldness. The very famous "Nine Songs" was written by him.
"Guantanamo Road" had a successful premiere at this year's Berlin Film Festival to widespread acclaim. "The purpose of making this film is to remind people how absurd the existence of a facility like Guantanamo is," said director Winterbottom. He added: "I don't think the film is an anti-reflection in that regard. American film. We're not saying Americans are bad, all we're trying to convey is that the fact that Guantanamo exists is appalling and horrific, and it shouldn't exist.
" Director of "Guantanamo Road" Winterbottom won the Silver Bear for Best Director. Winterbottom won the Berlin Film Festival's top award, the Golden Bear, in 2003 for "Between the Worlds", which depicts the lives of refugees in Afghanistan.
