Oslo

I think this film is a brief summary of the current Israeli-Palestinian relationship. I liked the choice of Palestinian actors.n N matter how much he is shown as a peaceful on both sides, there is a sense of hatred. Mona's" the world left you on your own " is a brief summary of film and finally, the dominant yellow light color was very disturbing.

An unofficial meeting in Oslo back in the 1990s between Israeli and Palestinian representatives seems an oddly specific thing to want to make a film on, and, on the face of it, an even stranger thing to want to celebrate, considering the state of that region even today: What did they achieve? What has changed? What there will EVER change?

But it does a lot with very little - a tiny cast, almost all in a single location - and successfully opens what was originally a stage play up to look and feel very cinematic. The acting is nuanced and engaging, and while the end result of it may all seem a little naive and simplistic, it's entertainingly done, and feels much like other real-life-stories executive producer Spielberg has had a hand in, such as Munich and, especially, Bridge Of Spies.

There's nothing groundbreaking or truly first rate here, but this is a nice film with nice sentiments, best summed up in the words of one of the characters in it:

"Our peoples live in the past, both obsessing over what we have lost.

Let us find a way to live in the present."

Finally one movie is made that brings forth to the world the life and work of Diplomats, Foreign Service Officers and showcases how important foreign policy and diplomacy is.

If you watch it without any biases and treat it in a value-neutrally, without taking sides, there are a lot of lessons for humanity in this movie, and it's full of entertainment as well, if you enjoy the story.

It will show and teach you, how important it is for humanity to understand the differences between different communities and factions of our world, to acknowledge it, to find a common ground and to work towards a solution - together and how challenging it can be to do so, to get the opposite sides to talk of the common issue of interest with stark differences and disagreements to the table, and to find a solution despite of that. How it can change the course of history.

I am tempted to give it 10/10, to balance the politically biased ratings, but I'm giving 9, in hope to see more and better movies like this in future.

This is an incredibly interesting glimpse at one the most significant events in the history of the Israelí/Palestinian conflict. Yes! There is no action packed scenes, but rather intelligent dialogue that is interesting and thought provoking. There is also a sprinkle of humor that ties the whole story together. I highly recommend this movie to individuals who are interested in the behind the scenes look at the events that shape history.

Being a political movie fan I kinda like this movie. The film seems like being dragged on but you can imagine what more draggy and difficult the real peace negotiation was. It shed some light into what is happening in politics of the area. Go watch this with an open mind and you will enjoy this.
