Paradise Now |
68 days left till the elections...
But that's not what I'm writing about.
Hey, if the mainstream press is obsessed with entertainment and show biz, why can't I be sometimes, too?
First of all, there's the Golden Globe win for "Paradise Now," which as Sarah Jessica Parker told us, is a film from "Palestine."
Yesterday, I read Sever Plotzker's insightful take on the win in Hebrew in "Yediot Aharonot" and considered posting on it, but lazy me, I decided to wait till Ynet published it in English instead of laboriously translating it myself.
He makes some good points about the film, which, in case you don't know, had Israeli producers. I haven't seen it, but apparently it tells the story of two Palestinian youths who set out to commit a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. Plotzker leaves aside the subject and content of the film, and focuses on the award and the ceremony...
