One night in September 1972, at the Olympic Village in Munich, a nightmare began. The director used one by one almost documentary footage to reflect the Israeli Mossad's retaliation after the incident. I was stunned that the stories behind those few lines in newspapers and magazines were brought to the screen more than 20 years later. I even feel sick watching the killing footage. It seems that, as a third party, I still cannot deeply understand the right and wrong between Palestine and Israel. But who can really tell? Discussing who is right and who is wrong on the issue of Palestine-Israel relations is tantamount to asking the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, which will never come to fruition. When the Mossads carried out their missions, they gradually discovered that the Palestinians were just like them, not murderous murderers, they also had a life, and they also had a family. This made them confused about their mission for a while, until their companions were killed, blinding them with hatred, from killing innocents at first, to killing everyone who hindered their actions later. In the end, the male protagonist realizes that they are actually the same as professional killers. They are killing people with money. As for whether the murder target has committed a crime or not, it does not matter whether there is evidence or not. "Killing an Israeli costs a lot, and killing a Palestinian costs a lot." For the leaders of the two countries, they don't care how many people die or how much they spend, as long as they can achieve the purpose of hitting each other. As a result, the so-called fixed-point clearing operation has never stopped, and until now, scenes in the film continue to occur in the real society.
Almost everything in this world has laws or formulas, but the relationship between people is a problem that countless philosophers and thinkers have not been able to fully analyze for thousands of years. Newton's third law cannot be established in this matter, I kill you one, you kill me two, kill the person in power, the latecomer succeeds, the brutality is better than the predecessor, and the balance between the force and the reaction can never be achieved. , the result is endless killing, bloodshed, death. From "Schindler's List" to "Munich", Spielberg, as a Jew, did not simply criticize who was right and who was wrong, but tried to use the language of the camera to reflect the facts as much as possible, so that the dead rest in peace and the living think. The film features a conversation between Israeli agents and the Palestinians they want to kill, even sharing a room with Palestinian bodyguards. From the detail that they finally agreed on the choice of radio songs, the director wanted to tell us that there is nothing that can't be solved, as long as the method is right. But unfortunately, Spielberg is just a director, not a politician. Those politicians usually don't watch movies, they are busy paving the way for their careers, what does it matter to die for the sake of power?
It is not known whether Rabin and Arafat in heaven can rest in peace. While we are enjoying this film, how many people are dying, how many mothers are crying, and how many innocent civilians have fallen victim to political struggles in that country, even in every corner of the world. If human beings are destroyed one day, it will not be because of nuclear bombs, but because of the hatred in people's hearts.
