Film

Well while watching the film a few things came to my mind. First I am very surprised the boy was so calm about everything I could only imagine if I was in Iraq, eleven years old and worried because a war was raging on. He seemed to appreciate his boss, he mentioned he didn't abuse him but he seemed so brainwashed he didn't realize he is verbally abused. When the boss told him he is the son of a whore and he is a bastard because he doesn't know how to spell his fathers name that was wrong and that was verbal abuse. I feel terrible for the boy and it is a shame he canst seem to succeed in school.

The second part of the movie covered the resistance. While this was happening I had two things on my mind the entire time. I was thinking about if the Americans were going to consider this a threat. And sure enough by the end they did.

There was talk about the bathists. Saddam's party and how they would abuse people. But these men did the same thing, they thought a man was selling alcohol they took him by gunpoint to a makeshift jail. The entire situation in Iraq is terrible and it is so sad when you look at it from a humanitarian point of view.

I look foreword to watching the rest of the movie in class.
