God forbid they leave anything open to interpretation.

Too abrupt, too much left open for interpretation. Whole film focused on the character to the point where, despite him being a terrorist, you did build an affinity with, simply through the claustrophobic cinematography and his compelling desire to get away. So to suddenly cut all this off.......

I don't actually think he was a terrorist, as he was fighting in his homeland against invading forces.

"Terrorism" means disrupting civilian life in some way e.g bombing office buildings, not just being a bearded man of middle-eastern appearance on the opposing side to the USA in a war.

Not sure how to reply to this as it would be easy to interpret your reply as you suggesting I'm basing my use of the word terrorist on how I view bearded men of middle-eastern appearance. I really hope that is not the case. Of course, I may just have picked up on the description of the film in IMDb...go figure.

The phrase keep you friends close and your enemies closer springs to mind.

Anyway, that's all I have to say on this - there is another thread on this general topic which you may wish to offer your views and can see how many other folks share your seeing good in everyone openmindedness. Good luck and good bye.

What made you think he was a terrorist? In the beginning of the film, we see him walking in a canyon, unarmed and not wearing anything that would make one think he had a connection to anything other than being a civilian who was travelling in the wrong place at the wrong time.

SPOILER;

Mohammed is stripped from alleged "Taliban", to prisoner, to fugitive, to animal and then, thanks to the woman recognizing him, back to himself, restored and recognized before death, as a fellow human. The last shot represents his final stripping to essence -- his soul. Bloody and fleshy, but white soul nonetheless.
