"Amreeka" [fr = "Amerrika"] ~ 8/10


More than a movie about discrimination of Muslims, or war between Israel and Palestine, this beautiful work Talks about motherhood.
A very good point, amongst others, is the use of written "slogans" at several moments, in Palestine and in the USA : "Ich bin ein Berliner" on the great wall around palestinian territories, "God bless America hamgurgers served 24 hours were open minded" in front of an american fast foood restaurant...
The actors are really great, the use of music is intelligent, and we can really feel this presence of two very different Americas : the open minded one, and the one who goes to war.
