Paradise Now, A Great Movie

It’s always interesting seeing the psychology that leads people to violent actions, and Paradise now is no exception. Its message is complex, and its two head actors are actually pretty likable. It does a great job of supplying the message of “Terrorists are people too,” along with some other thought provoking less definite messages to go with it.
I Imagine Paradise Now had more punch in 2005 when it came out. The movie paints a definite picture of what goes through the head of someone who is willing to kill himself for any reason, not just terrorism, but I kind of feel like the emotional punch is pulled just a little bit due to the time and place.
That’s less of a criticism and more of a complement in the long run. This movie is a product of it’s time and a product …
