When I first learned about the Munich Massacre, I was quite shocked. I was used to living in peace, and I never thought that the Olympic Games, a symbol of friendship, would also involve terrorism. And the failure of the hostage rescue, which led to the bloody result of the death of 9 athletes and 2 coaches, is somewhat unacceptable to me, I don't understand why they did this?
The entire film is in black and white, and even when the agents are in sunny Europe or highly modern America, it still gives me a stale, dark feel. This is easily reminiscent of Spielberg's other famous work, "Schindler's List", and it also indicates that this is also a film about vendetta and human nature.
Yes, it didn't disappoint me. The story begins after the Munich massacre, when Israel sent agents out of retaliation to assassinate the PLO leader, and there were 11 people on that list - the same number as the Israelis killed, in order to let the Arabs know" The price of Israel's life". As a result, Eric Bana, who looks like Tom, started his career as a killer.
Remember the saying "To kill a demon, you must first become a demon". In retaliation, unfortunately, Eric resorted to the same method - terrorist attacks (through bombings and assassinations). Agents are human too, and they all have their own moral bottom line. When the first strike, Eric was nervous and hesitant; when the assassination might hurt the opponent's daughter, Eric would be scared and desperate; when the conflict started, Eric would rush out to protect the boy in the house ...Even if he is unwilling (even ashamed to mention it to his mother), he still takes action time and time again for his "father" - the motherland. Moreover, I also became accustomed to this behavior, killing one and then killing another successor, even if it was not the person on the list, even if it was not the direct planner of the tragedy.
Violence is used to control violence, and blood debts are repaid with blood.
When killing the woman, this was even more prominent. If the previous actions were for the country, this time it was just pure revenge. Of course, they also regretted that they did not cover the dead woman with shameful clothes.
The success of the operation led to larger and more intense terrorist attacks against Israel, resulting in more deaths. Finally, Eric gave up, for his "home" and for his relatives.
In the film, his conversation with Palestine Liberation member Ali was very bright. Ali said that everything they did was for "home", and for it, they could give everything, even wait, and allow many of their children to wait. Let the child's child wait. They will not give up! And a scene where Eric is fascinated by the beautiful kitchen in the window is also quite memorable: he who likes to cook must also be eager to return to his "home" early.
When the Israelis tried the Nazis, they said, "If you won't share the world with us, neither will we!" Now, perhaps it's time for the Palestinians to say that.
