Language of the Enemy - Romeo & Juliet in Middle East
Rent it! Buy it! Steal it! See it? This movie was a bitter sweet romance based on an old story. Star crossed lovers fall in love. The sweetest kind of love - at first sight. He is on a mission for the Israeli secret service. She is a member of the PLO and a doctor looking for food. He nearly empties the entire content of his bakery into her car. Her dad is a big shot in the local government in Ramallah. He gets wounded and nurses him back to good health. Our Romeo is an American Jew who has come to Israel to help his mom bury his dad. He risk his life to return to Ramallah to see her again. He stays at her home with her kindly and wise grandfather. The old man and Romeo bond. You know the rest of their story from your 10th grade English class. They are married by a priest and spend their wedding night near the Sea of Galilee. She fakes her death, but Romeo is unaware of her plan. They meet at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem where he is shot and dies in her arms. Both families are united at Romeo's funeral.
