Can you talk some details about the movie? What made the greatest impression? What still sticks in your mind?

There are so many things about this movie that overwhelmed me. Rent the DVD at Blockbuster, and you will see what I mean.

The Taliban denied women the most basic rights, and did it with such zeal, it's hard to think of one example from the movie that stands out in my mind.

When they pulled Osama out of the hole where she was hung and tortured, it became obvious she was not a male. You just knew she had bought the farm, and your heart, and stomach just dropped, hoping there would be a reprieve.

I was praying for a daisy cutter to fly over, and kill the Taliban, and put Osama out of her misery, but alas, it did not happen.

At the soccer stadium when the men all gather to watch the weekly entertainment of putting women in holes, and stoning them to death, Osama gets (rent the movie for the rest of the story).
