This interview with one of the Palestinian actors from the Academy Award-nominated film, "Paradise Now," has changed my opinion of what the film is about. I'm now interested in seeing it. Take a look.

KS:
Do you think the film in way glorifies the idea of suicide bombers?
AS:
I don't think so. It's not about taking sides. There are a lot of things it takes for people to make this step. The occupation shows how bad their lives are and why they choose to do it.

So it doesn't glorify it, it just shows why it's acceptable?

KS:
What do you think this film sets out to accomplish?

AS:
It's the first time someone looks at these people (suicide bombers) like human beings -- that there's courage needed to do it. The message is, there is a human being under this wall, they scream about being able to do what they need to do to have life.

I'll reserve judgment until I've seen the film

I don't think that's what the guy was trying to say.

Ultimately, so will I.
