I'm an egyptian, don't know much about Afghanistan other than what's on the media (which is not true most of the time) but anyway i have that stereotypical image of Afghans and Taliban.
I like that the movie is based on a true story, the makers did not hide the fact that the missionaries were going "to spread Christianity" in a "strict Muslim country" and they showed both sides of Afghanistan, kind people who believe in peace and respect to all humans and extremists who use violence for their own benefits.
Not here to defend my religion or give lectures about Islam, but it breaks my heart that people might think most of us are extreme, but I wanna thank the makers for showing that being extreme has nothing to do with religions.
Also, love the locations and sets, even the editing is fabulous, i felt convinced most of the time. Huge applause for the cast, Hyun Bin sir your dedication to every character never fails to amaze me.
