Not disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2006)

I've seen this movie 3 days ago, with a friend. I'm neither a Muslim nor a Jew. I went to see the movie because it was the only one i hadn't seen yet, i wasn't especially looking forward to it, neither was my friend, but we were at the cinema, and it was freezing cold outside. So at first, knowing Spielberg 's a Jew, i was a little afraid the movie might be pro- Israel, not really showing both sides of the conflict. U know, mean Arabs, poor nice Jews, that kind of thing. But happily, i realized -but once again i want to repeat i'm not especially involved in the conflict and i surely don't know much about it, except from what i read in the newspapers which i don't think is reliable- that Spielberg, didn't only show Jews as victims and Arabs as terrorists. To me, the meaning of the movie, is that in both sides there are terrorists and victims at the same time. When i see the reaction of people in this very website, i simply cannot understand how religion which is supposed to be all about love and respect can still lead to so much hate, and i mean, it's just a movie. Another message of the movie i agree with, through all the many wars mankind has lived, why haven't we learned the lesson yet : killing human beens shall never be a solution to any problem at all. I know i'm not saying anything new or really clever. I'm just a young woman, living in a world i mainly know by what some books or papers say about, i don't live in the place where the fight is going on, but from my point of view, which is certainly very naive and simple, it seems no god who requires children, men or women to be killed in his name deserves anyone to believe in him anyway.
