Munich

Munich is inspired by the events that took place after the terrorist group Black September took 11 Israeli Olympic athletes hostage in what has now been deemed the 1972 Munich Massacre. The film follows the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate the 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the massacre. As the mission of revenge unfolds, the squad learns quickly the impossibility of shedding all humanity while assassinating men with families not too unlike their own. The film adequately depicts the violence of the murders and it becomes hard to hold onto a personal sense of "patriotism" in the name of revenge. The obvious lesson learned by the time it is all over is that war and murder are not solutions to a problem severely clouded with complexities on both sides. More than 30 years later we are seeing that truth unwind before our eyes in the Middle East. When will the senseless killings stop? When will both sides realize that land is just land and that to survive we must live upon it together in harmony? When will we stop killing in the name of an Invisible Ghost? No one knows what happens after death - let's stop speeding up the search.
