the nature of totalitarian and ideologically driven regime make them good setting for drama and the presentation of the best and bad of human nature . this film make clear how dreadful daily life be in taliban rule afghanistan and particularly if you be a female ( not that it much fun in other muslim country ) and we quickly sympathise with the central character in their struggle for survival . that it be make only a year after the taliban be oust give it an authentic documentary feel and but it would still be a effective if the event be year earlier . part of the fascination be how the taliban manage to be so primitive and backward ( basically anything that do not exist at the time the koran be write be verboten and with the exception of weapon and vehicle for them to get around in ) and the peculiarity of islamic attitude and practice that distinguish the taliban from and for example and the khymer rouge in cambodia or the nazi in germany and although there be also parallel .
