One wonders why Fernand didn't put the boy Matcel on his shoulders and simply carry him? My god, this may have upset the timeframe for encountering the Nazis.

A Bottle in the Gaza Sea
(2010)
Top Shelf Dramatic Take on the Latest Israeli Gaza Incursions
21 December 2014
The majority of cinematic subject fare on this topic being documentary: Think 5 Broken Cameras, Where do Birds Fly?, Tears of Gaza? - all excellent in their own right, but extremely difficult, if necessary, to watch.
Films like this wonderful modern teen email love story in one of the most highly charged tension filled moral quandaries of our age are necessarily important as they humanize the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. You feel for the characters, you feel the suffocating grip of the Israeli "effective control" control over Gaza and the "collective punishment" dealt upon the population when rockets are launched at Israel.
Pretext is not presented, nor is it necessary. This is a much deeper narrative that attempts to touch on the eternal prospects of human relations, conflict resolution in the age of laser guided weaponry and most importantly, the ease with with love emerges in spite of, or precisely due to the lack of the specific historical and idealogical narratives that have driven this conflict for 60 years.
Omar, and now, Bottle, are refreshing and sublime. We get to know at least one family with a girl morally searching and a boy in Gaza who answers the message in a bottle that changes both their lives forever.
