The face of an American suicide bomber manifested as an orphaned young adult with little in life to her purpose except in her relationship with her savior of which she will die to join in the 'here after.'
It was an enlightening insight to the ideation of a person without any other purpose in life except to perform a terroristic act knowing any deaths would result in a huge ripple through the conscience of Western society while bolstering others seeking the same fate. The dialogue is very limited and in that has a purpose. The words she speaks are profoundly insightful. She lives in the here and now while indulging in simple worldly pleasures before carrying out her fate.
The bomb fails and while she initially seeks to ignite it in any way possible, ultimately calls her support team, but in the last minute retreats from them only to reflect alone on the streets of the city still safe from her own wrath which culminates due to a 'lack of identity of self.' Her last words are down right scary although may in time prove to be a turning point for her, in that she sees a rejection of her mission by her savior and is left to quander her inadequacies in his eyes as a reason for the failed ignition of her backpack bomb.
Rather than embracing 'the fear' that could be excerbated with the potential reality of this film, I found it interesting that such a scenario could be possible in the USA, yet has never happened. It states why the 'idea' of suicide bombers does not exist in the USA to the extent it can and does in other Western nations. The USA can be a socially generous nation whereby sitting near a slow traffic pattern 'outreach' takes the face of a young man realizing the 'activism' in a car license plate.
Please don't make me a liar, but, the youth experience in the USA is so indulgent that I can't fathom a young adult wanting to give it all up in an act of violence.
The film created a plausible reality for me I hadn't fashioned completely. It was a reality of selfishness to come to one's savior in a simplistic way of destruction that would include others as if enemies when in fact the others had accepted 'their burdens' in life so much more completely than the person carrying out an attack of violence.
