True Art

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2006)

I don't remember another movie entering into my dream life. Munich did. Seamlessly constructed, one follows image upon image as in a dream and its substance seeps into your soul. The plot is carried so you do not have to use your mind to sort out the sequences. You can lay back to receive the story...the Dream. You are given enough time to digest the powerful images but none are cheapened -- sustained beyond dream time -- as artifice -- either to manipulate emotion or ideology. Each character rings true. You meet the assassins from your heart. The ruse of the word "terrorist" is made manifest. What empowers certain people to legitimize their violence and eschew the label, "terrorist"? You understand that it IS a tough world out there, baby. That is starkly made manifest. This is not a film to be entertained by but to be enlightened by; enlightened, not in the sense of weight, for it is heavy...but in the sense of widening insight into the nature of Reality; to see its truth to help you walk your walk with a clearer vision. I honor Spielberg and Kushner Bana for their gift, their artistry. Thank you.
