The lens, tone, and composition of the film are all ingenious. At first glance, it turned out to be shot by Spielberg.
If you don't know much about the film's background and the history of the country involved, you can't talk too much about the film's metaphors and the right or wrong of all parties.
The summary should be that Israel and Palestine have launched a number of assassination and terrorist actions against each other for their own interests, but they have affected many innocent people. In the end, the fate of both sides will naturally not be very good, and the war will not only not end, but will intensify.
The movie begins with the "Munich Massacre", and then the protagonist Avner is in danger and ordered to accept the request of the state to assassinate the 11 Palestinian "criminals" involved, but to remove all apparent relations with the state, this action will also be lesser known.
In order to collect intelligence, Avner met Louis, who said that he was very opposed to cooperating with the state and its organizations, and did not want the actor to leak the intelligence they provided to the state. The previous action was very smooth, except for some small twists and turns (when eliminating the second target, because of an accident, the target's daughter was almost killed by mistake, the protagonist also rushed to stop it when he found it, which shows that he did not want to kill innocent people by mistake).
Until the boss orders (secret meeting of course) the protagonist to reveal the identity and intelligence of the intelligence officer, namely Louis, they will send troops to destroy the target (this is both fast and deterrent). The protagonist is also forced to say the location of the next target, but refuses to name the intelligence officer on the grounds of his employee. As a result, the strangulation was broadcast worldwide. Of course, Louis also noticed it and asked to see Louis' father if he wanted to continue to cooperate. Only then did Avner know that the master behind it was actually Louis's father.
After the meeting, Louis' father showed great sympathy for the protagonist, agreeing that he joined the assassination operation because of the country and family, but the following is not an example. When parting, he gave the protagonist many special products, and said to Louis: We will do business, but you are not family.
In order to assassinate the next target, the protagonist asks Louie to find them a place to live. As a result, the environment was very dilapidated. In the evening, they also encountered the PLO, which was also arranged by Louis. The protagonist and his party lied that they were from the ETA organization to avoid conflict. In the middle of the night, everyone lay in the same room, listening to songs and enjoying this moment of peace. Avner chatted with Ali, a member of the Palestine Liberation Army, and talked about the contradictions and wars between Israel and Palestine. Of course, the two also had ideological conflicts:
During the assassination, he encountered the Soviet KGB and Ali who intervened. The remote control of the bomb failed. As you can imagine, not only was a KGB shot dead, but Ali was also killed in the exchange of fire.
Before executing the next objective, a member of the team was killed by a female spy after talking to Avner (a knife on the head of the color)
Avner's mentality also began to change, and he was determined to kill the female spy, so he contacted Louis. Louis' father told Avner that the information of the female spy would not be charged, but he was already being targeted and persuaded him to stop as soon as possible:
Before the action, one of them sensed that they were getting farther and farther from justice, and Avner agreed with him to take a break. After the assassination of the female spy, the intelligence organizations of various countries were alerted, and two members were also killed one after another, and the assassinated targets were constantly replaced, and they were even more ruthless. At this time, Avner's heart has almost collapsed, which can be seen from many details: auditory hallucinations, checking the location of various bombs in the room before actions, cooking in a mess, and sleeping in the closet at night...
After that, Louis told Avner the information that he did not want to disclose before (this target often cooperates with intelligence organizations of various countries, and Louis did not want to alert the national organizations), and then simply communicated:
Avner and the only remaining member James Bond (how to shoot 007 when he died, haha joking), went to assassinate the next target, but was found by an underage guard, Avner killed in a hurry The guard also alerted others, and the two had to flee.
Avner was then recalled by his boss to suspend the program. No honors, no medals, just a hug.
Back at his home in Brooklyn, he was suspected of being followed while holding the child for a walk. So I called Louis' father, and found that the other party actually knew his address and name (previously, Avner used a fake name), it turned out that Louis's father had been using the protagonist for profit, and he knew that the protagonist's assassination could not be made public. , but there will be a steady stream of state funding. He kept saying that he did not cooperate with the state, but obtained information through the intelligence bureaus of various countries. And when Avner alerted the people of the intelligence bureau, he was ruthlessly thrown away.
Then Avner found his boss, and combined with the previous episodes of the "Munich Massacre", he learned the truth: it turned out that because of the failure of the sniper rescue in West Germany, all 11 Israeli athletes were killed, and many of the terrorists involved should be killed. Kill and catch all that should be caught. The so-called "assassination plan" is nothing but Israel's "revenge plan" for "Black September". The team dispatched is not only the protagonist and his party. Most of the assassins were high-level "Black September" or terrorists who had instigated attacks on Israel. The number of 11 people on the assassination list also corresponds to the 11 who will die. Athletes pay for their lives. This operation is completely a "secret war" carried out by the country for its own purposes. On the surface, it is carrying out the so-called "revenge operation" of justice, but in fact it is just another dirty war act, which has even affected countless innocent civilians. . In fact, they all understand that this will not be a road to peace.
Forcing his composure, Avner invited his boss to come to the house for dinner, or because of suspicion, the boss rejected him and left without looking back, leaving Avner alone. Only then did he realize that he was just a pawn that was used by all parties and could be discarded at any time once it lost its value.
The movie ends abruptly here...
People exist in the world, why don't they run for their own interests? Abandoned by his father, the protagonist was born in this country, destined to serve this country, whether the country's purpose is righteous or not; do business with Louis' father, and when you are profitable, you can even be his son .
In this way, Louis was accused by his father of just doing business with each other. How can there be coexistence between people who do not coexist for the sake of profit? It's just that Louis's use value is more long-term. When Avner gradually loses its value, the so-called family will also be thrown away.
