Hallelujah

This is a short, seriously dated, but relatively harmless farce with some serious improbability here and there but with some praiseworthy touches too. The hero has to overcome not only external obstacles but also an inner choice regarding his direction in life. The comic villain too turns out to have a choice of his own to make, and he makes it with a newly acquired self-understanding. Oddly, the director of this 2003 comedy revolving around Eurovision and the Israeli army has gone on to make a 2019 comedy revolving around Eurovision and terrorists, "Douze Points." I haven't seen that one, but I'm a little more inclined to consider watching it on the basis of "Hallelujah."
