The Movie Worth Waiting For

Have you ever wondered what goes in the mind of a suicide bomber? Have you wondered if they had 2nd thoughts before they pulled that cord in their bomb? Are they even really volunteers? Or coerced to do it? If you have ever wondered, "Paradise Now" is a movie you would really enjoy watching.


It tells the story of two Palestinian childhood friends who are called to volunteer themselves for the Intifada cause. Laced with humour at the most unexpected times the story is a heart-wrenching one. You'd never expect to sypathise with suicide bombers but the story gives a human face to them and as we see their struggles and doubts we understand why they do what they do although we do not necessarily support them. And to top it all off, the two lead actors are so handsome they make your heart fly. Kak Liza & I left the cinema with this guy's face and eyes forever etched in our memory.
