Have we seen enough promises on West Bank conflict, or even the World at large? And how big is our hope towards the peace and harmony? Mine? Bigger when after watching this piece. Personally, for me, Arabs, Jewish, Muslims, Yahudis, Israelis, Palestinians, etc, are just ridiculous labels in this piece.Bones break, organs burst, flesh tears. We can sew the flesh, repair the damage, ease the pain. But when life breaks down, when we break down, there's no science. No hard and fast rules. We have to feel our way through. And you know what? This applies to all the labels stated above. This piece delicately speaks it out to me. Simplicity and ordinary could give greater impact than complexity and extraordinary. Pick our lenses wisely.

I find it interesting that the New York Times referred to this as "a Humanists dream."
I don't have a rebuttal to this, but it just seems ironic. Humanism is "a philosophy asserting human dignity and man's capacity for fulfillment through reason and scientific method." (...Often rejecting religion as necessary, but accepting all religions as existent and not a factor for discrimination.)
According to a comprehensive online quiz I took at a reputable source, (Quizilla -- don't judge me!) I am most suited toward Secular Humanism. (Err... An Agnostic Humanist.)
Honestly, I couldn't agree more with what the New York Times said about the film.
... So, apparently I didn't have much to add. I just found it interesting that this film was referred to as "a humanists dream."
