The human focus on these two men permits Paradise Now to present a dark and controversial subject in a fashion that may surprise you. The film does not invite you to root for either side of the conflict, just to see these guys as human. It is almost impossible not to empathize with their intense personal struggle
Every day in the newspapers we hear of these attacks. It is such an extreme act that I began to think, like everyone, how could someone do that -- what could drive them to it? I realized that we never hear the whole story. How could they justify this? Not only to their families but also to themselves. However you may feel, there is a reason.
