THE KINGDOM :The opening shot of the movie shows a Saudi killing
Americans.The news travels to Fbi head quarters Where one of the victims is the husband to an agent. Jamie foxx walks to this agent and whispers something to calm her down.
(In real life )I went to an icl match between India and Pakistan. I saw many Indian supporting Pakistan. I was shocked and happy that we are truly a secular country.But when I observed closely; there was a strong undercurrent. Pakistan team was getting so much support not for their cricketing skills but for their god and religion.The match was not about India and Pakistan. It was god vs god. ( it depends on what religion you belong to choose a god ). I was wondering how this will help creating more hatred among the two religions.How both sides will stereo type each other to death.( each muslim is a traitor and each Hindu hates a Muslim)
It is not surprising that most of the terror activities have their inception in hyderabad.The circle of hate has a strong presence in hearts of its inhabitants.But now it is in full public view.
( back to the movie )The Fbi team goes to Saudi and kills all the culprits involved in killing of americans. In the penultimate scene :they shoot abu hamzaa. Before abu hamzaa dies he whispers something into the ears of his grandson.
In the last scene , one of the fbi men ask Jamie foxx what did he whisper in the ears of the widow to pacify her. In Saudi . A mother asks her son what did his grandfather whisper into his ears before dying
The beauty of the story lies in this moment. Both whispers though world apart mean the same.
"kill them all".
Hate is something very real and dangerous. It speaks a universal language.And it is more closer to home and heart than we can imagine.
