    The film uses the subjective perspective of human beings to lead the audience to understand their psychological changes, the collapse and reconstruction of beliefs in this whole event. The theme of the film is very convincing, but the form of expression is lacking in tension. Too many other people's dialogue and the static description of the old eyes can only make the audience have their own experience. As for Israel, I have always had no sympathy for this country built on national beliefs...

    It seems that everyone is impressed by the flash at the end, but the scene that attracts me the most is that after the protagonist lets go of the bus, the protagonist's dark face is finally illuminated by the sun, which is full of...

    In addition to expressing their dissatisfaction with bullets, what other ways can the Palestinians get the world's attention? The world is really the strong prey on the weak, and the weak can only exchange their lives for...

    The "Now" and "Heaven" of the Idealist Sade

    If the real world in front of you is full of killing and oppression, full of anger and war, then heaven is a beautiful temple in the imagination, holy and clean. The fearless willingness to sacrifice a self to defend the whole of heaven is the greatest tragedy ever played by an idealist.

Paradise Now quotes

  • Car Owner: It's still crooked.

    Said: What?

    Car Owner: It's still crooked.

    Said: What, the bumper?

    Car Owner: What else?

    Said: It's brand new.

    Car Owner: Maybe, but it's still crooked.

    Said: I'll take another look at it, sir.

    Car Owner: What for? It's crooked!

    Said: I don't think so.

    Car Owner: Are you saying I'm blind?

    Said: No, but you might be mistaken. Looks can be deceiving.

    Car Owner: My eyes are fine, and thank God for that.

    Said: And it's not crooked.

    Car Owner: Yes, it is! It's fucking crooked!

    Khaled: No, it's not.

    Car Owner: Get Abu Salim and have him look at it.

    Khaled: It's not crooked. You're probably cross-eyed.

    Car Owner: What did you say?

    Khaled: It's straight at a ruler.

    Car Owner: Go get Abu Salim. He'll tell you.

    Said: I'll check it with a level.

    [he takes a level and gives it to Khaled, who checks it]

    Car Owner: So who's cross-eyed now?

    Said: You are, sir. See? The ground's uneven, but the bumper's straight.

    Car Owner: Are you trying to screw me over? I can see it myself.

  • Khaled: Israel views partnership with and equality for the Palestinians under the same democratic system as suicide for the Jewish state. Nor will they accept a two-state compromise even though that is not fair to the Palestinians. We are to either accept the occupation forever or disappear. We've tried with all possible means to end the occupation with political and peaceful means. Despite it all, Israel continues to build settlements, confiscate land, Judaize Jerusalem and carry out ethnic cleansing. They use their war machine and their political and economical might to force us to accept their solution: that either we accept inferiority, or we will be killed.
