This was a very interesting movie about two suicide bombers. I have never seen this from the bomber's perspective. I always just assumed they were bad people and they just wanted to kill others. Now, I look at it a little differently. These two bombers, named Said and Khaled, are told that they are going to be involved in an attack. They are recorded saying their cause of the attacks and saying goodbye to their loved ones. They have to act normal and try to avoid looking suspicious. This was probably very difficult because they know they are going to die soon, but they have to act like nothing is happening. They have explosives attached to them. It was very interesting to see the bus scene. Said sees a small child on the bus, and he decides not to get onto it. This shows that they do have some respect for others. He did not want to kill a small child, who is so innocent, and has done nothing wrong in her life. She has her whole life to live, and Said recognizes that. At one point, Said does not want to carry out with the plan at all. At the end of the movie, we are unsure if Said detonated the bomb or not. I believe that he did not. He knows that he is with a bunch of innocent people, and the viewers already know that he was hesitant about the situation. This was a very interesting movie.
