A thin line between executioner and a victim to be executed

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2006)

I'm giving it all the stars possible because it was the best film of a few years of my life. I got interested with the poster which appeared online long ago, where a man with the gun, the executioner, looks like a victim to be executed. The dose of despair in "Munich" is breathtaking. The biggest contradiction of human nature is shown clearly: human-beings don't want to be killed, but a machine of violence following violence following violence is working and even with all understanding and diplomacy it's barely possible to stop it. And audience is helplessly watching the way those pinions inside the machine moving and affecting each other. Spielberg showed the sequence of a human-being breaking under the weight of God's duties he was given: to take lives away. "Munich" is strong enough to affect every viewer. It had an impact on me, it had an impact on part of audience who came to see "Hector of Troy without a beard". They stopped to giggle and grow serious after first 10 minutes. Movie is powerful when no one can open a mouth and start making silly jokes.
