Etz Limon (2008)
bitter lemon
Those lemons are really bitter to eat but wonderfully painted in this Israeli production.
The sympathy of the director were obviously with Palestinian side, but he was not one-sided at portraying the condition of women in most Islamic countries and that even some Palestinians in the end can make a profit of the oppression.
The Minister of Defense character is a little bit naive in my opinion but this serves the scriptwriter and director goals.
The main conclusion of this movie is that anybody in this sad conflict loses something...in the end, the minister at least lost his wonderful home view to a ugly gray wall.
Linha de Passe (2008)
something of Iñarritu
I haven't many comments to add, but something I really noticed in this good movie is that Walter Salles got a lot of inspiration, specially camera takes and editing, by Alejandro G. Iñarritu, not to mention the instrumental background music. The tone of Salles movies remains focused in the hope and good heart of the poorest despite deep unfairness of Brazillian society. Unfortunately, we do not watch good actor Vinicius Oliveira acting more often. The "moto boys" were admirably portrayed as well as the church followers. By the way, Corinthians, the football team supported by The Mother indeed went to 2nd. division in real life, as she worried at the beginning of the movie.
