Intense

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2006)

This is the only movie where I cannot decide what to think of it. It started with a tense atmosphere and ended just the same. The killings of both the terrorists and the assassins were horrific; I could not stop squirming in my seat. However I thought this was a great touch to the movie; it was brave enough to show the terror of what happened. It did not protect the audience by shielding the images. It showed everything.Sometimes people need to be shown horror in order for them to understand how terrible the events were.
The movie reminded me of Black Hawk Down but Munich does not let you go home routing for the protagonist. It allows you to see why Palestinians and Israelies are raged at each other and what each wants. I could not say the Palestinians were monsters or that the Israelies were animals. I empathized with both and felt sympathy for the innocent.
This movie shows how hopeless it is to find peace if we act upon vengeance and destruction. The spite was there a thousand years ago, it was there in 1972 and it is still here today in 2006. Will it continue till 2050...it probably will.
