Amazed

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2006)

This movie was utterly amazing. I just came back from the movie theater and was so influenced and completely moved by it that the first thing I wanted to do was write my first comment (ever) on IMDb. It was extremely difficult for me to sit through this movie because I felt every tiny bit of pain and sorrow that I witnessed, within me. It was emotionally exhausting and I felt how it slowly took every strength that I had with every scene that I watched. I view myself as an Israeli above all and, as a human being I am a strong believer of peace. I love Israel with all my heart and soul and therefore I entered the theater with my heartbeats controlling my whole body, not knowing what to anticipate. It was so real...the whole production of the movie left me completely speechless. Every physical detail was nearly perfect- the scenery, the languages, the cast..absolutely phenomenal. One detail that touched me the most was the fact that Spielberg really highlighted the fact that the men who were sent to accomplish the mission were so careful not to hurt anyone who was innocent (the scene with the daughter of the terrorist and the way that every time before they killed a terrorist they made sure everyone else was safe-- the terrorists' wives, children and everybody that was nearby). It meant so much to me to see that..the fact that it was extremely difficult for these people to kill and their true humaneness. The message of this creation truly touched my heart and soul. In my eye, a movie that can move a single person in the way that it moved me, is a masterpiece. It made me want to wrap my arms around our whole universe; we ALL need love, we all need to remember to constantly LOVE one another and CARE for the world we live in. We all have the power to make a difference and we all need to constantly remember that. I thank Spielberg and the whole production of this movie for helping me remember that.
