this film be extremely well do and convey a sense of suspense ( maybe a good word be dread ) good than most movie could ever dream of . the cinematography capture life in an afghan village and the excellent performance by the cast seem true to life and the story be set in pre democracy afghanistan when the taliban be crack down with a force and brutal efficiency that would have shock hitler s . their extremist version of islam be force upon the populace without regard to the effect on their life or the necessity of an already impoverish and struggle people . woman be not allow outside their home and require a male escort . in addition they be require to wear a burka it be a source of constant amazement to me that the same compassionate liberal folk who rightly condemn the third reich would defend and excuse or rationalize similar atrocity when commit by those in the middle east . it really a sort of subtle racism if you think about it . this movie should put the myth to rest and should serve a a sort of diary of anne frank for a new generation . the atrocity of the taliban and other extremist islamic fundamentalist must be reveal to the resistant and skeptical west and osama and the first film to come out of afghanistan after the fall of the taliban and do just that .
