" home" . a sacred word.

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2006)

I kept postponing viewing this movie. Don't know why, just a feeling. And today seemed like the right time to see it. or maybe I was on "thinking mode"... To be honest, I didn't expect to much. Actually, I didn't expect anything. But I was impressed. Spielberg redeemed himself. I almost forgive him for War of the Worlds.
"Munich" is a well-written, well-acted, well-cinematographed, well-made movie. It's a story about history, politics, manipulation, human feelings , the definition of "home"... "home" a sacred word. yet defending one's home means sometimes loosing one's humanity. and one's home means other's exile...
as for the Israeli-Arab conflict...it will never stop. but that's a different story, which belongs elsewhere.
the message is simple, though : violence will only generate more violence.
