In Reply to: I was not talking about the film, I was discussing your reaction posted by Victor Khomenko on May 2, 2006 at 15:15:47:
There's a lot more going on in it than you may think (based on your reaction to a couple of the words used in tin's analysis).It's not cut and dry, there are voices in the film extremely opposed to these bombings and the would be bombers are not so easily pigeon-holed (and the rage of one of the main characters is more family based). Also, there is - in my opinion - a good but subtle portrayel of how these men are being used by the radical Palestinian power structure.
I can't say more without giving away major plot points but it's worth a look and would be very interesting to discuss if you see it.
