Some questions

First of all - what a great movie...

Now, the questions:

1. I'm wondering if Omar killed Amjad before meeting with agent Rami at the end of the movie. I do think so, what do you guys think?

2. If Amjad wanted to get rid of Omar, he could have just said that Omar was the one, who pulled the trigger. That was the easiest way to get rid of him, why would he make things complicated and say that it was Tarek?

3. It's hard to believe that Omar believed Amjad story about Nadia being pregnant. If she was pregnant, why would she be flirting with him? Plus she would be devastated, instead of being all happy and in love with Omar. Doesn't make sense.

4. At the end of the movie Nadia is reading a letter, probably Omar's. What did he write to her? The whole truth? She's not crying though...

I know I'm fussy, probably those are just plot holes, but maybe you can help me out.

I'm from Poland btw. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see this movie and to see how it is to live in Palestine. My thoughts are with you, my friends, hope one day you will be free.

Just saw this movie for the first time. I don't think that Omar has killed Amjed before the last scene. I believe he contemplates killing him for a minute, but then he changes his mind minutes later. This is for two reasons. First, he doesn't want to leave Nadia with two kids to take care of all on her own. Second, he decided he doesn't want to be a tool of the Israeli's anymore. By killing Amjed he would simply be causing more Palestinian suffering, all incited by the Israelis.
