Người đánh giá phim gọi đây là một bộ phim thất bại đã hoàn toàn bỏ lỡ trọng tâm của câu chuyện. Rõ ràng là người đó đã không còn trẻ và ngây thơ từ rất lâu rồi, hoặc có thể người đó đã hiểu rằng bi kịch của bộ phim là những nhân vật trẻ tuổi tốt bụng thực sự tin rằng họ có thể tạo ra sự thay đổi bằng cách treo áp phích và tổ chức một buổi hòa nhạc vì hòa bình. Nếu chỉ đơn giản như vậy thì tốt biết mấy. Nhưng những người hoài nghi chỉ ngồi đó và chế giễu những người cố gắng hết sức để làm cho mọi thứ tốt đẹp hơn, trong khi tình hình ngày càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn mỗi ngày. Vậy thì, nếu bạn không phải là một phần của giải pháp, bạn là một phần của vấn đề.
The reviewer who called this movie a bust has clearly missed the point. It's obvious he hasn't been young or innocent in a very long time, or he might have understood that the tragedy of it was that the well-meaning young characters actually thought they COULD make a difference by putting up posters and holding a rave for peace. If only it was that easy. But the cynics sit and sneer at people who earnestly try their best to make things better, as the situation gets worse and worse every single day. Well, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.<br /><br />The central theme is that revenge begets more revenge, which begets even more, in an ever-expanding bloodbath. Both sides will tell you tales of atrocities committed by the other side, which they think justify their committing even MORE in retaliation. Where does it end? And apparently he missed the significance of "the bubble" referred to in the name, which was that people living in Tel Aviv are strangely cut off from the ugly realities of what is going on all around them, which is partly why they seemed so naive. (He also seemed to think that Ashraf could slip through the checkpoints without a problem, which tells me he wasn't paying attention when Ashraf related the delays and problems he had encountered.) <br /><br />I found it very brave of the director, the screenplay writer, and both star-crossed lovers, to update the Romeo & Juliet story to a modern troubled land, and to make both lovers male. Let's be honest here: Very few people would have a problem if one of them had been a female (young love wins all hearts) -- but when people's uneasiness with their sexuality is added to the fact that, incredibly, these same people would rather have them HATE each other, then the conclusion is inevitable.
