torment of mind

It was very painful to watch. I knew that there was such a thing in the history of the Olympic Games, and I thought this movie was to show us the whole process of the incident. But after reading it, I realized that the story revolves around the story of an Israeli agent after the Munich massacre, and the massacre itself is divided into three parts, which are interspersed in this main line and presented to the audience in sections. In the overlap, it is more shocking than showing the event itself.
The whole movie is a process of revenge. Five patriotic patriots want to pay back their blood debts for Israeli athletes. After abandoning their previous identities and a good life, they are recruited by the government and become assassins.
Faith that was firm at first, was shaken after several brutal killings, and when they avenged their brothers, the Arabs used the same cruel method to "tit for tat", and our protagonists also became the target of opponents. Whether killing is the ultimate solution to the problem is what the movie should be talking about.
There are several places in the middle that made me particularly uncomfortable. First, when they decided to carry out the explosion, the target's daughter unexpectedly answered the phone. Seeing this, I deliberately turned down the sound of the computer, hoping this would make me feel better; There is also the male protagonist who calls his newborn daughter and tells the child to remember his voice on the other end of the telephone receiver; finally, when the male protagonist finds out that he has also become the target of the other party, and his companions are dying one by one, He couldn't bear the suffering of his soul and nearly collapsed into the closet...
Although he finally completed the task he wanted to complete and returned home safely, the changes brought about by the experience of the past few months can never be achieved. He can't go back to the past...
because the movie is more and more painful to watch, so let's give it four stars.
