i really want to like this film for all sort of reason the subject matter be inherently interesting and be probably the major issue face the world today and have throw up fascinate work ( e. g. linda grant when i live in modern time ) usually from the israeli side of the fence . also and a bloke i like tell me he think it be the best film he would see all year and so with such a recommendation . however i actually find myself nod off at point . admittedly i be tire and the cinema seat comfy but i find it too much hard work try to identify with the character . once i would get my head round the idea that it be a series of vignette and i go with it and but this make it disappointingly like a sketch show rather than a film . i like the concept of a restrain and almost silent mise en scene contrast to these utopian moment the sexy girl and the red balloon and the ninja muslim fighter . but personally i think the film have be over hyped . i be not say narrative and plot be everything ( it definitely not ) but even a little more dialogue would have help .
