The Tiger and the Snow

I wanted to share with you a wonderful film that I saw and I believe most don't know that it every was made. Roberto Benigni the filmmaker of Life is Beautiful attempted to do the same about the situation in Iraq and I believe succeeded. It is very relevant to our world since Iraq at one time was the center of the world. Here in the best scene and most absurd Roberto Benigni, as Giovanni, is talking with his depressed Iraqi poet friend, Faud, played by Jean Reno.

Faud: That's just what I said to Vittoria. She asked why Id come back to Baghdad. I told her about the 351st story of Arabian nights. Remember it?
Giovanni:You know all 1001? How about 406?
F:406 is about the Italian poet with a funny side.
G:The Arabian Nights are wonderful. Beautiful sky.
F: The Baghdad sky is the pillar of the world.
G:Looks like they're firing angels.
F:80km from here, over 3000 years ago, they built the tower of Babel so they could climb up to this sky.
G:80km from here all our languages were born.
NOW THEY ARE SITTING ON THE HEAD OF THE DESTROYED STATUE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN...
F:Since they tried to touch this sky, we no longer understand each other. A Muslim legend says that Allah come back here because he misses the look of the starry sky from below. Centuries of wisdom and what have we learned? Nothing. You know why there are wars? Because the world started without men and it'll finish that way.
