the kingdom..

Some people say this movie is way too inacurate. Some scenes are exagerated and will never happen in real life.

A background:
the movie is about Saudi Arabia and American relationship. I don’t want to go into details so i won’t spoil it to anyone but the main plot is when Saudi extremist blew up the international village in Saudi where American Oil workers resides. it killed a lot of Saudi guards that protects the village as well as the Americans.

My say about the movie?

I loved it. not for the violence but for the lesson.
The lesson is no matter what your religion or race is, your priority is your family and your friends.

Clearly the movie showed how different their culture is and i think the movie showed it with justice. I mean all we hear is how bad it is, but in the movie you can actually see and feel why it is like that.

The movie also is fair in presenting the difference between the Muslim extremists and non-extremists.

Anyway, if you’ve got time, watch it then let me know what you think.
