One scene in the movie which caught my interest is the part where it was explained how countries go to war because they misunderstood what both parties say. It is the job of the interpreter to translate every word correctly. I noticed how fast they speak while the one they try to interpret is still talking. Their life is always at stake because they understand almost any language and they can hear what they should not be hearing, like what happened to Nicole Kidman's character, Silvia Broome.

The story of the movie not only managed to get an inside scoop of how the UN works, but also gave an example of problems that they usually encounter. This one focused on the prosecution of Matobo's President Zuwanie in the International Criminal Court. His international crimes include corruption, tyranny, and mass killing or ethnic cleansing.

The movie also revealed how investigations and surveillance of suspected people are done. A situation of a terrorist bombing was also shown. The most sensitive part of the movie was how President Zuwanie himself planned his so-called assassination plot against him just to avoid the prosecution. This can happen to any country at any time. A leader, as high as the president, can do things like this.

1. City of God - Don't be fooled by the title, this Brazilian movie has nothing to do with religion. Rather it deals with the children who make up the violent street gangs of Rio. A word of warning: some of the violence in this movie makes The Godfather look like Sesame Street.
2. Open Your Eyes - If you've seen the American remake, Vanilla Sky, promptly forget all about it. This surreal, intelligent Spanish film makes the viewer question the reality of the characters, as well as his own. Plus, Penelope Cruz is a lot less annoying in her native Spanish.
