paradise now

I FINALLY got to see Paradise Now tonight - in the best possible way - on the big screen at the Grand Lake, one of the two best movie theatres in Oakland and the world. The fundraiser was crowded and the crowd was inspired. Even the gentleman who slept through the screening let out snores at poignant moments. This film is focused. It is unapologetically an exploration of suicide bombing that asks you to accept that occupation is bad without showing any of the gory details. Highly intellectual, it's also suspenseful, terrifying and unexpected. Kais Nashef has the saddest eyes I've ever seen and the movie keeps you guessing as to why. The movie is political and entertaining. Much, and nothing, like Dave Chappelle's Block Party, which I saw on the same screen in the same week.
One thing though - why don't they put subtitles at the top of the screen? Then the audience could read them.
