Paradise Now
It's terrible that I only found German sources (and some Arabian) about this movie, who is truly a horrible piece of filming. The German-based Israelian organisations have judged the movie and found it not only offending but also terribly evil. The movie portrays the day of two suicide bombers and tries to convince the public, that they are two poor, helpless persons, who are only doing the bombing, because they have no other choice.

The defense of this movie by the peace-loving leftists is due to it will prove to be a psychological analysis to the problems of suicide bombers and will help to persuade young Arabians to stop taking-part in suicide bombing runs.
Of course, this is utter bulls*** and you see it, when they portray Israelians as rather gloomy and scarry. It's rightfully called the Number One most dreadful movie of the year.

Sadly, there are no English Reviews online, but there are other news that might interest this audience. The movie was entered into the race for an Oscar by Hany Abu-Assad (director).
