Trivia
The film was only submitted once to the Academy. Though the Academy did consider it, it did not make the final cut of the top five films in the world. There was some misinformation about why the Academy didn't consider the film the first time. The American distributor claimed he called AMPAS and asked them if they would consider it and was told they would not because Palestine is not a country recognized by the Academy. In fact, the Academy spokesperson said that the film was not considered the first year because it was never submitted. The second time it WAS considered but didn't win a nomination. The AMPAS spokesman also said that it's not their job to decide who is a country and who isn't as the UN decides that. It should be noted that Taiwan and Hong Kong are also not recognized by the UN as "official countries" but have had films nominated by the Academy.

Goofs
At the border, when several cars are told to turn around, the camera is reflected in the side of the cars for several seconds.

Absurd, hilarious and strongly significant

Amazing..

A film that has a crucial twist to what is happening in Israel today.

Two tribes at each others throat. However this isn't your usual mainstream war type, social issues, machine gun shoot type film. This is a film of quality..

Scenes are cut, a lot is left for the audience to tie up and conclude.. Directing at its best.

Powerful visions and photography.

You'll laugh.. but as the scene stays fix on the sketch.. you start thinking of the REAL message the director is giving you and believe you stop laughing.

I will definitely watch it again..

the balloon, the football, the Palestinian lady walking past and creating havoc to the Israeli border, the scene with the hands... all sketches that are unforgettable! Very symbolic...
