Seriously and incredibly overlooked and unappreciated

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2007)

This film, like a select few of Spielberg's is what i like to call his collection of secret pleasures. these films, which include schindler's list are made by Spielberg for his own personal benefit in many ways. Walking into the theatre as a favor to my sister who wanted to see this film. I thought is was going to be about confusing and boring politics of foreign countries observed in an American point of view. I thought it would be boring and extremely confusing to someone like me. I thought it was one of those films that would only be enjoyable to a viewer who's main passion in life was poring politics of foreign countries. I was extremely mistaken. Five minutes into the film I sat up and paid attention to what it had to say. putting all my prejudice aside i watched it and was enthralled by what I saw. I left the theatre entranced and in love. I was shocked and delightfully surprised. Eric banna was absolutely amazing and IMO was cheated out of an Oscar, because he deserved it. The film was also made by the supporting cast members, too many to name. I was delighted that is was nominated for best film but IMO it was a sick and quite tasteless joke that Crash won. Even though I knew there was no chance of Munich winning. the Oscars are far too political to give the award to a film like Munich, or even BBM. But if you haven't seen this film i suggest you go to your nearest blockbuster (or netflix) and rent it for a measly 3.99, its a small price for such a delightful film.
