beyond border brings to light the very realistic struggle of the million of refugee create by war and the valiant effort of aid worker who contribute to their survival in spite of overwhelm odds . the storyline of cross your life border away from a comfortable life to help other struggle human being be a story worth be tell . in this type of humanitarian experience and every aid worker i have come into contact with have describe the experience a extremely enrich . i be sadden most of america do not embrace this subject matter at the box office . we and a american and live a very comfortable life comparatively and and perhaps it out of fear and complacency or just selfishness that we generally do not cross border to help fellow human being . this attitude do not make u very popular around the world and but perhaps if more people become aware and do something to help other people in their struggle and the world would be a good and safe place to live . a a journalist who cover the afghan or soviet war and recently watch the making of on the dvd be compel to see how the filmmaker make something so realistic without put their cast or crew in harms way . i hope this film will be embrace a a dvd so that studio will continue to make film of solid subject matter . angelina jolie be well cast in this role for she ( in real life ) be the ambassador for the united nation high commission of refugee ( unhcr ) . she bring much passion into this role and and while she appear a little girlish initially and the character have to grow out of her pampered life for u to follow her across the border both real and metaphoric . i be pleased she be brave enough to embrace such a role and and hope she will continue to grow in her range of act choice . noah emmerich remind me of a very gentle aid worker i know kill on the job and which tug at my heart string . while clive owen portrayal of a man who close off his heart to survive the cruelty of every day life in the war zone be accurate and for the general public who have probably not live through these extreme condition and it difficult to empathize or care . i be sure that be why there might be a general dislike of this character . for a handful of my friend and the romantic connection be unrealistic and but in reality if youre living day to day in such extreme condition and youre friend dy and you will let down your guard just to feel alive . i be sure a lot of people have sex just after the sept. 11 attack . the excellent production design and cinematography and poignant music move the story forward and but while i love this subject matter and i also felt the transition between three very distant location cause the film to feel somewhat disjointed . perhaps that be due to behind the scene budget constraint ( maybe some transition scene be cut before they could shoot them ) or perhaps some studio executive be push the film out to theater before the cut be ready because the investor be cry out for their roi . who know what the politics be . either way and i like the film and be go to buy the dvd and will definitely recommend it to anyone who want to be inspire beyond their own border . i certainly be .
