After viewing the film I found it to be extremely insightful and gave a different perspective on cultural aspects of certain parts of Israel. There seems to be a lot of identity issues for people in the region and how that could be extremely confusing when people are trying to grasp a sense of who they are.

I like the way the story is written and flows very nicely. The gas mask incident seems like the people are always having to jump through hoops and deal with unnecessary extras to try and get the things needed to remain safe, and not even see a final result of secured safety since non of them ended up with masks. I also found it quite amusing how the little dog was able to recieve a passport so easily but it takes years and sometimes people will never be able to get an ID for Jerusalem.

I like how she talked about taking a step back and seeing how ridiculous everything was that they had to go through living and what they had to go through to try and live a normal life. Rokem had a very interesting writing style and the words flowed together very well. I liked the comparisons that were made and the way it was written was very interesting. I am sort of confused by the last line though because it says something about Jerusalem being undivided but then talks of two capitals for two states for two nations which would leave me to believe that it is shared or something along those lines.

I also wanted to talk about my project since I forgot to in the last blog and am thinking of doing something with the architecture of Jerusalem portrayed through paintings in the early ages and now with photographs that are available and how it has changed or the perspective from one artist to another throughout history has differed.
