There are many ways to tell a story, in style, tone, plot, characters, and point of view no less. But if you keep up with the news, the intricacies of international politics, then IMHO, it is kind of lazy of the director to choose the tone of comedy to mix with such a serious opening image. Maybe that is exactly the point. And like everything nowadays, it is only an opinion. But still, opinions can be a lazy one, however the rational behind the choice.
And the story of the film is told through basically a road-movie style in comedic tone with a few messages, shot at you the audience so directly that it is like pointing a gun to your head. Man, I sincerely hope that, audience nowadays are not so dumb. Then again, I did choose (wrongly) this a part of my 2006 TIFF filming experience.
