Munich
Tonight I have watched the film 'Munich'. I was attracted by the historical background of this movie regarding the Israeli-Palestiniane conflict. Yet in the end, I feel a bit disappointed, as it seems to me that this was just another movie about spy-game and assasination plot. I have already expected that the main actor will face struggle and dilemna in his heart when trying to finish his assasination. The story line that a secret agent was being used and manupulated by the their boss to achieve some 'unjust' aims for the country benefit was so common in many movies. That's why the movie didn't give me much surprising element that make it special. Maybe the original intention doesn't aim to give us the answer to the Israeli-Palestinian problem. It only look from the side of Israeli without exploring much into the Palestinian perspectives.
Yet certain message from the movie will let you think. One question posed is 'what is home?' and why people has to fight for their homeland. For those who are wandering and being an exile, they are longing for their homeland, and they will spend their whole life to fight for and to secure it. For those who have already settle, they will try their best and use every means to protect their home. That's why the Palestinian are fighting for their land, the Isareli are protecting their land from the attack of the Palestinian, and a man will try to build their family and to protect them. That is human life.
The home of a christian in heaven, yet we also thank God that in nowadays most of us have our home. Even though some of us are still searching for a place where we belongs, comparing to the christian in the early centuries, to the Jews before 1948, to the Palestine nowadays, or even to some of our grandparent or great grandparents in the early 20th century in China, we are in a far more comfortable situation than them. At least we can have a choice to choose, and at least it is not about life-dead issue.
Don't retailiate and love your enemy. This is another message from the movie.
