I can't figure out why the male protagonist was hired for such a mission, apparently neither he nor the four team members had a particularly high level of special agent training, especially compared to the special agent movies we're used to. The way they carry out their tasks is a little weak and tender. Even on the first mission, it was impossible to shoot calmly. But apparently they believed from the very beginning that they were doing the right thing for the country. That is to punish the terrorists who killed Israeli athletes. They even toasted and danced when they killed their first target. As the task went on, their skills became more and more skilled, but their hearts became more and more hesitant. I think the first time I hesitated was when the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, disguised as a reporter to investigate the phone, saw the leader's young daughter playing the piano, and the phone bomb almost killed the little girl by mistake; The second time was on the balcony, and the actor had a conversation with the target to be assassinated. He hesitated for a long time before turning off the lights and sending the detonation signal, because the other party did not look like a vicious person; the third time was in a simple safe house in Sweden, They met people from the other side, do you still remember the conversation between the male protagonist and the man named Ali? It was about the founding of Israel, about the Palestinians' longing for a homeland, about why terrorist attacks, and about the endless confrontation of future generations. There are many inserted plots in the movie, such as the TV report that the three hijackers successfully escaped to Libya, such as the terrorists blindly shooting innocent people at the airport, and every time they kill a person, they soon have a radical and vicious one. Newcomers fill positions, and the fights and hatreds continue and deepen.
When their team members begin to be assassinated, they finally understand that the killer will be killed. You go to kill the other party, and the other party will kill you. When at first you thought you were taking revenge with justice, your actions would lead to "just" revenge from the other side, and the two sides fell into an endless vicious circle of mutual revenge, and in the end it was impossible to remember who did it first and who The justice is a little bit more. The revenge squad began to collapse, not only because of the death of the team members, but also because of the disappearance of the sense of justice that supported their revenge, and the cruel truth was gradually seen in their hearts. No one is more righteous than the other. Remember when they were just on a mission, and someone said he heard that there were intelligence officers who couldn't sleep in beds, but slept on the floor of the closet. On the eve of the protagonist's final collapse, he nervously suspects that a bomb was planted under his bed, disassembles the TV and phone, checks that all doors and windows are closed, and finally cowers in the closet with nightmares, I think he can't sleep.
It's just an endless senseless revenge. Anyone will only look at the world from their own side. They feel that the world has treated them badly, and they must retaliate more fiercely to arouse the world's attention. The Israelites were driven out by the Egyptians and wandered in Europe and the Middle East for more than 2,000 years. During World War II, this nation suffered the most suffering and massacres, but when they used the world's sympathy to establish their country on their original land , they inflicted suffering on the Palestinians who originally lived here. It is said in the film that because you have been tragically wandering for two thousand years, you should not think that you will always stand on the side of justice. When an incident that harms one's own citizens occurs, they appear in the image of the victim to demand justice, and even use revenge to assassinate to achieve this justice, instead of thinking about the harm they have caused to the other party. With the 11 athletes killed in Munich and the hundreds of people killed by Israeli planes in the camps, it's hard to say which country was hurt more.
The end of the film should be speculation about the Munich incident. Maybe the terrorists didn't want to kill all the hostages at first, but they wanted to attract the attention of the media and the international community. But when the police sniper at the airport to rescue the hostages, they continue to inflict hatred on the hostages with tears, because their own brothers have fallen in a pool of blood. Hatred cannot be ended with hatred, but can only be resolved with tolerance and understanding.
