The Lemon Tree is based on an actual incident that happened in Israel not that long ago.

“A multifaceted drama straddling the Palestinian–Israeli chasm that’s marbled with irony, generosity, anger and pure crowd-pleasing optimism.” – Variety

Eran Riklis takes a fresh look at the Israeli –Palestine conflict by imbuing it with the warmth of a personal story. Palestinian widow Salma Zidane lovingly tends to a lemon grove planted on the Israel–West Bank border by her father 50 years ago. When the Israeli Defense Minister builds an ostentatious house right next to Salma’s lemon grove, it becomes the focus of bitter frictions.
An intelligent allegory for the hotly politicised border debate, The Lemon Tree doesn’t shy away from taking sides.
“There are so many walls that are created by tradition and religion and bad blood from the past.” – filmmaker Eran Riklis

从冲突当事人眼中看冲突, 和我看新闻, 当然当然不同
或者只是因为艺术的处理?
不敢苟同.

这个故事让我想起了<秋菊打官司>
谁说不是好电影?

质朴; 善良, 两个女人
