Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden? - twitterwoods - 12-04-2008

Just got done watching WITWIOBL? It's a documentary by Morgan Spurlock - the same guy who did Super Size Me. The gimmick of the documentary is that he got his girlfriend/wife prego and he's concerned about what kind of world he's bringing this kid into. One of the big concerns is terrorism. So he travels to the middle east to Egypt, Isreal, Saudia Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to try to find Osama Bin Laden.

There were a few tense moments like when a bunch of angry Jews surround him and yell at him and his crew, or when he tags along with a bomb squad, or when he goes with some of the US Army into the tribal part of Pakistan which is Taliban territory. He also attempts to interview two 18 year old students from Saudi Arabia who were only allowed to be interviewed with their principal and teacher in the room.

It's really interesting to see different countries persepctive on their leadership, the taliban, USA , George Bush, and the war on terror. I really liked Super Size Me, but I think I like WITWISBL better. Super Size Me was almost entertaining in comparison. This movie was by no means eye opening, but really gave a different look then what you see on the news.
