BrilliantA great perspective from the other side..UberAutoScore: 5/5
Loved itIt was a great movie!! I watched it in my Arabic 2 Class (HS not college) it was very well portrayed. One of those movies that show what life is like in the Middle East. Little humor in it (more noticed if you understand the Arab Culture). This is a Must Watch movie, and I highly recommend it!!!.I'm That One GuyScore: 5/5
Really interestingThis is a really fantastic movie. It's dramatic and compelling while also making you think, offering a very fresh different perspective. Unique partially in the amazing lack of bias while portraying a topic that is always fraught with personal prejudice. I want to watch this movie again and talk about it with the people I love whose opinions I respect. Of course I came to it with my own opinions and it neither confirmed nor denied them, it simply offered new insight.
Fascinating. Truly a must watch film for all of us who have grown up in comfort far from any real danger greater than driving our cars on the freeway..NHTORScore: 5/5
GreAT movieI had to watch this as part of my sociology class.... I really liked the fact that the movie lets you see it from two different persepectives. Its in another language, but its worth watching.... For my own taste I would have liked a better ending... All in all a good watch.Esteban 08Score: 5/5
A View from the Other SideIt troubles me that the only other review of this film was so negative. A far more accurate appraisal is to say that this film provides a seldom seen glimpse of the other side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is significant more so however in that it does not really levy any judgement on the actions of either side, but instead provides a fairly objective look at the situation. There can be no doubt this film will anger a great many viewers who hold strong opinions concerning the conflict, however that is only because it serves to remind us that the conflict is anything but simply understood..Supermegamanrunr800Score: 4/5
Briliant movie!It is a phisycological movie that allows you to enter the mind of the character Said and makes you understand what motivates him to do such a terrible act. In the end, we find that he was only one more victim of the system. After this, we need to review all our concepts..MshamanoScore: 5/5

Deutsch Die Palästinenser Khaled (A. Suliman) und Saïd (K. Nashef) sind seit ihrer Kindheit gute Freunde. Jetzt hat man sie dazu bestimmt, sich als Selbstmordattentäter in Tel Aviv in die Luft zu sprengen. Die voraussichtlich letzte Nacht ihres Lebens dürfen sie noch einmal im Kreise ihrer Familien in Nablus im Westjordanland (Westbank) verbringen. Selbstverständlich aber muss ihr Vorhaben streng geheim bleiben, so dass ihnen ein wirklicher Abschied von ihren Angehörigen verwehrt ist. Am nächsten Morgen werden sie an die israelisch-palästinensische Grenze gebracht. Die Bomben sind von außen unsichtbar an ihren Körpern befestigt. Doch dann verläuft die Operation nicht wie geplant: Die beiden Freunde verlieren sich aus den Augen. Getrennt und auf sich allein gestellt müssen sie ihr jeweils eigenes Schicksal meistern und am Ende eine erneute Entscheidung über Leben oder Tod fällen ...
Italiano Khaled e Said sono amici da quando avevano otto anni, ora sono adulti, fanno entrambi i meccanici e sono stati scelti per partecipare , come kamikaze, ad un attentato in Israele. L'amicizia, le paure, le illusioni e i dubbi di due ragazzi palestinesi, nelle 24 ore che li separano dall'azione suicida, attraverso cui credono di poter fuggire all'inferno di ogni giorno e trovare il loro Paradiso.
suomi Palestiinan Oscar-ehdokkaaksi hyväksytty draama kertoo kahdesta lapsuudenystävästä, jotka rekrytoidaan itsemurhaiskuun Tel Aviviin. Khaled ja Said naamioituvat israelilaisiksi ja lastaavat itsensä räjähteillä. Tarkastusasemalla kaverukset joutuvat kuitenkin erilleen toisistaan. Samalla toinen alkaa epäillä terrori-iskun oikeutusta. Elokuva ei ihannoi tai tuomitse henkilöitään, mutta tunnelma kehittyy pikkuhiljaa arkisesta pakahduttavaksi.

Magyar A film nem igyekszik sem hősként, sem terroristaként ábrázolni az Izraelben ártatlan polgárokkal együtt saját magukat is felrobbantó palesztin fiatalokat. Célja, hogy minél autentikusabb környezetben mutassa be két öngyilkos merényletre készülő fiatal utolsó napját, hogy feltárja milyen egyedi, emberi indíttatás rejlik egy merényletre készülő palesztin döntése mögött. A film két gyerekkori jó barátról, Kaledról és Szaidról szól, akiknek reménytelen hétköznapjai egy merényletre való készülődéssel nyernek új értelmet. A palesztin fiatalok bombatámadásra készülnek az izraeli katonák ellen, ám végül is különböző módon döntenek a Tel-Avivba szánt bombákról...

한국어/조선말 이스라엘에 삶의 터전을 빼앗기고 그들의 암제와 차별정책, 절대적 빈곤 속에서 미래에 대한 희망도 없이 살아가는 팔레스타인의 젊은 청년들. 그들이 할 수 있는 저항이라고는 자신의 온몸을 산화시켜, 이스라엘인들에게 두려움을 주는 것뿐이다. 어릴 때부터 형제처럼 자라온 자이드와 할레드도 어느날 저항군 조직의 부름을 받고, 기꺼이 순교자의 소명을 받아들인다. 그러나 막상 가슴에 폭탄 띠를 두르고 이스라엘로 향하던 두 청년은 마음이 흔들리기 시작한다. 지옥 같은 현실에서 죽음과 같은 삶을 사는 것 보다는 영웅적인 죽음을 택해 천국으로 가고자 했던 그들. 그러나 과연 끊임없이 죽이고 죽고, 보복에 보복을 거듭하는 이 저항방식이 그들이 원하던 승리를 가져다 줄 것인가. 그들에겐 다른 선택의 여지가 없는 것인가하는 의문들이 그들을 주저하게 만든다. 죽음을 눈앞에 앞 둔 48시간 동안 자이드와 할레드는 극심한 혼란과 마음의 갈등을 겪게 되는데...
Český Kamarádi z dětství Said a Khaled žijí v Nábulu a pracují v autodílně. Jednoho večera jim oznámí, že byli vybráni jako mučedníci k provedení atentátu v Tel Avivu. Mladíci úkol přijmou jako samozřejmost. Stráví poslední noc s rodinami, které se nesmějí nic dovědět. Ráno podstoupí ve štábu příslušné rituály a dostanou se přes drátěný plot na izraelské území. Akce se však nečekaně zhatí a oni mají ještě čas zvažovat svůj úkol.
български език Саид и Халед са приятели от детинство. Един ден на двамата им е възложена мисия, която завинаги ще промени живота им. Предстои им да участват в терористична атака, от която не се знае дали ще се измъкнат живи. По време на подготовката плановете се объркват и се налага двамата да се разделят. Ще успеят ли да осъществят мисията си и най-вече да запазят приятелството си? "Филмът е толкова обективен, че е застрашителен!" Роджър Ебърт, Chicago Sun_Times
svenska Said och Khaled är två palestinska män som beslutar sig för att bli självmordsbombare. Paradise Now berättar om de 24 timmarna innan attentatet då de, med bomben runt magen inför sina närmaste måste låtsas som att allt är som vanligt. Utan pekpinnar eller rättfärdigande får vi följa två män som letts till att rita om sina och många andras öden.
ελληνικά Δύο Παλαιστίνιοι, φίλοι από την παιδική τους ηλικία, μέλη μιας αντιστασιακής οργάνωσης κατά των Ισραηλινών αποίκων, επιλέγονται ως βομβιστές αυτοκτονίας σε μία επίθεση στο Τελ Αβίβ. Στα ισραηλινά σύνορα χάνουν την επαφή με τους καθοδηγητές τους και συναντούν μία γυναίκα που τους βάζει στην διαδικασία να αναθεωρήσουν τους στόχους τους. Ο πράος Said, που βρίσκεται ένα βήμα πριν ανακαλύψει τον αληθινό έρωτα διχάζεται ανάμεσα στο καθήκον και την τιμή και στην δική του, χειροπιαστή ζωή. Αντίθετα, ο πιο θερμοκέφαλος Khaled, βρίσκεται σε ενθουσιώδη κατάσταση για την αποστολή τους, αλλά και ενώπιον πολλών απογοητεύσεων.
Português Visto da perspectiva de dois palestinos que estão se preparando para realizar um ataque suicida em Israel, este é o primeiro filme a tratar do assunto de homens-bomba.
Türkçe Çocukluk arkadaşı olan genç Filistinli Khaled ve Said Tel Aviv’de gerçekleştirilecek bir saldırıda intihar bombacısı olarak görevlendirilirler. Aileleriyle, vedalaşmadan, son bir gece geçirdikten sonra, vücutlarına bağlı bombalarla sınıra götürülürler. Ama operasyon planlandığı gibi gitmez ve birbirlerinin izin kaybederler. Artık tek başlarına kaderleriyle yüzleşmeleri gerekmektedir. Nablus’ta çekilen film, umutsuz durumlarda yaşayan insanların sıradan günlerini derin bir içtenlikle anlatıyor. İşgale karşı çıkmanın yollarını arıyor ama can almaya asla göz yummuyor.

But occupied Palestine knows neither simple love nor clear-cut war. When Omar is captured after a deadly act of resistance, he falls into a cat-and-mouse game with the military police.

Gaza. Synonymous to so many with conflict, destruction and despair but to Mohammed Assaf, and his sister Nour, Gaza is their home and their playground. It’s where they, along with their best friends Ahmad and Omar, play music, football and dare to dream big. Their band might play on second hand, beaten up instruments but their ambitions are sky-high. For Mohammed and Nour, nothing less than playing the world famous Cairo Opera Hall will do. It might take them a lifetime to get there but, as Mohammed will find out, some dreams are worth living for. Along the way, Mohammed will experience tragedy and loss. The world around him will shatter. Through it all, however, he will somehow retain the hope that his voice will somehow deliver him from the pain that surrounds him and bring joy to others. He sings at weddings, he drives a taxi to pay for his university studies. Even as the siege around Gaza intensifies, the prison around them ever more forbidding, Mohammed knows he has a rare gift. To make people smile and forget their troubles. And so, in front of him on TV one evening lies an impossible dream: the auditions for Arab Idol, the most popular show in the Arab world, are taking place in Cairo. The borders are closed. There is no way out. Somehow, he finds a way and makes it in front of the judges in Egypt. From there, destiny awaits, a chance to change his life and give a voiceless people the greatest feeling of all: the freedom to love, live and feel free.
