    “Munich” Movie Review

    “Munich” Plot Summary

    Based on the true story of the Black September aftermath, about the five men chosen to eliminate the ones responsible for that fateful day.

    Incredible film with a beautiful message

    The film starts off at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. A group of Arab terrorists capture and later murder 11 Israeli athletes. The Israeli community is outraged with the murders and they set out to investigate who planned the massacre, in order to send assassins to settle the score. Eric Bana (who plays Avner) is chosen as the lead assassin and the film takes us on a thrilling, violent and heartbreaking ride watching how Bana and his team accomplish their morbid task and the dangers they go through in order to finish it

    After the film ended, I thought about the reviews that complained it was too cold and detached for their taste. I Don’t know why some critics felt nothing because I did care for Eric Bana and his family. At first it’s hard to like him for what he’s doing, but after we see his remorse, guilt and paranoia(nightmares, trouble sleeping, fear of being murdered) start to kick in as why he’s doing what he’s doing and if his actions will accomplish anything, I began to care for him. The film also offers great suspense and the haunting score adds depth to it. We know Avner (Bana) is an assassin, he has to kill people and the film builds an unnerving suspense around this; anything can go wrong with the operations and we fear for the life of innocent people such as the target’s family or innocent bystanders who have nothing to do with the events in Munich

    Another complain I’ve seen from a few people is that the film had no point. My guess is they weren’t paying attention since Avner (bana) had two discussions with other characters, which clearly show what the film is ultimately about; the discussion with Ephraim (Geoffrey Rush) at the end of the film and the discussion with Ali (Omar Metwally) outside the safe-house. I thought the film was made to show how pointless and absurd revenge can be, that violence cannot bring about peace. Group A kills people from Group B and vice versa, but it doesn’t stop there, the slain people are replaced the endless cycle of killing continues. This in effect made the film thought-provoking, it makes you think about subjects you wouldn’t normally think of or discuss with other people. Thinking about it fills you with sadness since the events in it are in reality still happening and it’s sad to see how the two groups (Jews AND Arabs) don’t realize that death and violence will continue if they don’t learn to listen and forgive others and let the authorities decide what punishment people should get.

    Surprisingly good

    I went to see Munich last week. This movie is about one of the teams in the the Israeli secret operation now known as Wrath of God’. Originally their mission was to kill 11 men who were involved in the terrorist group Black September’s murder of the athletes during the Olympics. However, as time goes on, and they remain isolated from society the men begin to stray from their original mission

    I was surprised I liked this film. I’ve been following it since last year. When I first discovered Eric Bana was cast as Anver I was concerned. I am a fan of his but did not think he would pull off this role. How quickly I had forgotten his performance in Black Hawk Down! Another concern I had going into the theater was the fact this was a Spielberg film. I hate Spielberg films. I hate them with a passion. They are preachy and dumbed down. They are as sweet as saccharine. At best, they are artsy-fartsy and play with the truth like toys. However, Munich was none of these. It was a hell of a film

    Although the movie is political, and I can’t think of one person who comes into the theater looking for flaws will be happy with it, this movie was great entertainment. It isn’t pretty entertainment, but it is entertainment all the same

    It was a great way to pass a couple hours. The only problem is, I can’t shake the final hour

    That is what makes a good film a great film.

    The best

    The reasons why I gave this film a 10 are simple. This is single handedly the best film made in the last 10 years. The editing was impeccable, the direction was above and beyond and the cinematography was untouchable. The fact that they used a rough grain film and used it well in anything other than a war film should confirm my previous statement. This film ran the gamut of emotions. I felt sad, happy, tense, sick and incredibly excited all in the same few hours. The acting, well i won’t waste your time (you already know my opinion). It’s great that Stephen got such a large crew to make this films, because to be honest, it could not have been done without them. Eric Roth and Tony Kusthner are the most amazing writers, the foreshadowing and other literary devices they used in this masterpiece were impeccable. The metaphor they use such as ‘We have butcher’s hands and sensitive souls’ make for a very dynamic movie. The ‘political’ parts, were political enough that at first glance you do not understand, but as they progress, it becomes a very fathomable. John Williams once again proves he is the best film scorer in the history of the industry. Well, that’s my two-cents, i hope you enjoy the film, but if your looking for the political points and not enjoying the movie as a whole, than don’t bother seeing it. Oh, and by the way, this very instant, i’m wearing an awesome hat. Just to let you know.
