i decided to take advantage of the fact that i live near PVR and it was a holiday on account of Good Friday and made an effort to watch Munich & Syriana...... apparently, a lot of other people had the same idea and all the shows were sold out...... thank god for internet booking......6 Hours back to back viewing of good cinema.......both the movies make strong but lopsided political comments.....choose your loyalties.....
Munich is an eye-opener...It is a story of what happened after the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at Munich Olympics in 1972......the Israelis set up an assassination squad to kill the people behind the attack........ The group is led by Eric Bana who plays the character of Avner....... the film tells the story of the exploits of the squad....
a movie that asks difficult questions.....The best example of this was a sentimentalized conversation between Avner and a PLO terrorist......
a film of uncommon depth, intelligence, and sensitivity.....and a must watch.......
Syriana is about the U.S. government and how that government will stop at nothing to ensure the future of its business interests.......
there are no answers here......and not even many questions......just a brutal portrait of the facts....its a powerful film, but a cold one.....
one of the best geopolitical thrillers in a very long time..........
