Watch Paradise Now For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Paradise Now was an eye-opening movie. It was really interesting to see the life of a suicide bomber. It definitely was different from what I've perceived most suicide bombers to be like. Though, the conflict in the Palestine territories is different then most of the terrorist suicide bombing that occurs with radical groups such as ISIS. I thought the direction of the movie was well placed and the actors made brilliant choices. I honestly did not expect Said to be the one who kills himself. He seemed to have more to live for than his friend, with a potential girlfriend, a job, and a loving family. It was also interesting seeing all of the military checkpoints and learning about how all of the territories are split up. It seems very ineffective in the grand scheme of things, but it was made that way for a reason. I thought the movie did a good job on allowing the viewers to look into the lives of the bomber, while allowing him to remain humane.

For the most part, this film was interesting to watch. I love the fast paced rhythm of the film. All the action in the film kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could not wait to see what happened next. Although the fighting and battle is not something I particularly like in movies and stories, the plot and symbolism of the film made this essence of the film okay for me to watch. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in war films or the West Bank or the Middle East. I would particularly recommend this to any history classes, for it shares so much information and insight into the lives of the people of the West Bank. I find these types of films very interesting, as well as very important ones to watch to understand a different culture.

I have given a 10 only to 6 movies in my life. This is one of them.Fist of all, the urgency of the thematic; which is, so I see it, the big schedule of the 21st century; crossing boundaries, understanding that what glues us together is of the same kind than that which tears us apart; tying/ untying; Re- ligion / Dis- legion .I believe it to be a major task of movies today to provide cathartic bridges and alternatives to this question; "Paradise now" nails the problematic on the head. This is just as far as movies were able to go until now; remember Spencer Tracey in the last scene of "Inherit the Wind", holding the bible in one hand, and Darwin's book in the other. In paradise now, a clear question is raised: what is the kind of fight we want for this century?Answers are for everyone of us to provide. Then of course, the way the movie is treated. I am always fascinated at a how a film manages getting you up on your toes for more than an our, without even showing a drop of blood, physical violence or even a minor car crash. In this chez- d'oeuvre, Hany Abu-Assad provided just that.

On seeing this film a second time, I found it more powerful and more disturbing. I had read the script, and pictured the two leads played by much younger people, which I imagined would give the film a deep sense of innocent tragedy and loss. So I was disappointed when I first saw the finished project. But as is so often the case, that's not a fair way to judge a film, and with the passage of time, I could appreciate it for the excellent, intelligent, emotionally and morally complex and challenging film it is. Any film that can make suicide bombers 'human', without justifying their actions, or can really make you understand the roots of violence and terrorism without condoning it is an important film for the modern world.
