what is right?

As I watched it all the time, I remembered the Munich movie. Munich represents Israel, and See the Kingdom of Heaven represents Palestine. The two sets of viewpoints and angles are completely different, and it can even be said that they are opposite, but I, who have watched these two dramas, are not confused at all. It can be said that Munich is a more emotional drama, while Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven prioritizes writing and execution, which is better than telling stories objectively.

Human bombs, the Israeli-Palestinian issue, and the "prosperous land" where "Uncle Bus has become a hot topic" living in Hong Kong may really not understand why people would not die for their own country. The advantage of watching movies is that you can learn about things that you don't usually know, such as serious political topics.

There is no bloody rendering in the whole film, but the blank space at the beginning of the film shook my thoughts.

Paradise Now quotes

  • Jamal: Do you remember the martyr Abul Azzam? He was very security minded. He said, if you fear death you're already dead. If you don't, you'll have a sudden and painless death. He drove the Mossad crazy. They spent millions trying to capture him. When they surrounded him, and he knew his fate was sealed, he opened the door and shouted, you've come to late!

  • Said's Mother: [to her son talking with his mouth full] Turn off that radio in your mouth.
