Munich

I feel like writing something else.

I just saw Munich. Incredible directing, subliminal score, enthralling cinematography, convincing script (laughs from the whole audience on a number of occasions) -- very real, very effective over all. Absolutely not recommended.

Another one of those movies that makes you feel impotent -- because no human can solve this dilemma -- and a bit hopeless. The escalation between Ishmael and Isaac's descendents that we feel today, that was so commonplace thirty years ago, has been going on for millenia. And it won't end until the very end. How's that for encouraging?

Go watch Pride and Prejudice. Chew your nails over whether Darcy and Elizabeth make friends in the end. But don't watch Munich. It's raining hard enough.

For those of you who have seen Munich, how about the whole radio scene? Makes the whole conflict seem really... pointless, wouldn't you say?
