Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2015)

After War of the Worlds Steven Spielberg made us all reflect on the past and look into the future in this absolutely stunning recreation of events that should never ever have happened I am shocked to know that these cruel heartless terrorists killed innocent people for no justification no reason to kill they wanted power they thrived on power and glory even though the world seemed I find to Ignore it I think for a long time I may be wrong in that matter was there immediate action quickly enough could all this have been prevented sadly it was not prevented Maybe because of injustice maybe they felt they did not earn respect from us I do not know but what I do know and I indisputably will not stand for is intolerance of all people black white whatever we are all one in this world and that's in a way what Steven Spielberg is saying to us and questioning what do we need to do to stop moments of conflict unnecessary acts of terrorism that's the question the film poses to us what is the reason for hatred in this world, this world is very depressing at the moment I know the pain people will suffer to get what they want but the events portrayed here were shocking and intolerable and must never be inflicted on a human being ever just shocking the pain that thrives from death is just indescribable and I can not and refuse to accept that happened in 1972 it just terrifies me to think this is the world we live in the 21st century, a world of hatred horrible injustice and racism cruelty towards Palestinians and the Israelis in this case, Steven Spielberg directs the film with a maturity and a adult sensibility which I have never seen before from him, Yes Schindler's List had that Adult Sensibility but to portray acts of terrorism and interweave that into a compelling retelling of a true story is an outstanding achievement and once again as I keep saying a film like this shows Steven Spielberg's versatility and his unique ways of directing different kinds of stories without entering clichés, John Williams's score is one of beauty and reflective memories or recollections into the past just beautifully performed with a choral voice reminding you of the tragedy that unfolded, the themes for the reflective parts of the film are simply stunning in particular Remembering Munich A prayer for Peace and Hatikvah (The Hope) I must also mention the theme for the relationship between Avner and Daphna called Avner and Daphna just beautifully romantic and heartbreakingly tragic, the performances from everyone Eric Bana in particular was stunning simply stunning as Avner and Geoffrey Rush's performance as Ephraim also deserves a mention also! I want to thank Steven Spielberg for believing in himself to tell this story but also have the confidence to tell the events of the film as they happened and not tweak things for dramatic purposes just an outstanding effort from this incredible master of film, John Williams Thank you once again for composing a score of reflection and memories but also thank you for remembering the events of that tragic day in 1972 and the same goes to Steven Spielberg thank you for remembering the past and that now allows to look forward into the future with a determination to win the battle that lie ahead they will take time and a long time at that but still thank you so much for remembering the past and commemorating the victims who died in 1972 and this review is dedicated to the countless people who died in Munich!
