As someone who has dealt with this issue and the political implications and problems that comes from it, this movie was a sad example of one- sided propaganda.

Focusing mainly on emotions and again and again repeating what Palestinian terrorists has done (which in itself should not be denied of course). The movie mentions nothing on the actual geopolitical problem, the behavior of Israeli police, army and juridical system, abuse or violation of international laws such as laws concerning occupied territory or human rights. In fact, the situation is not even mentioned, instead Palestinians are portrayed as bloodthirsty, small- minded barbarians who want nothing but to (unprovoced) destroy the peace of the reasonable Israelis. Rather tasteless.

Movies can be used as a political statement of course. But as a movie that presents itself as a serious one, it comes of as cheap and tasteless.

Oh and by the way, Palestinians are to blame for the 9/11 attacks as well. Really?

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
