Munich
Watched Munich with YL tonight. We both agreed that it's a good show.
I am never really a historical or political person. I don't work well with facts. But Munich striked me cos I think it's a rather emotional show. Actually politicans play and toy with emotions. We can come up with the best plan, strategy but if someone mess with our emotions, we are goners. Be it the greatest politican or an ordinary person, we are just creatures with feelings. We all have a soft spot. Press on the right spot, we will be brought down to our knees.
Why are there terrorists? Izzit cos of the long-stuffered grieve? The unfair treatment? Skin colour? Race? Religion? I do not pity terrorists but I empathise with them. How will you react if you are brought up believeing that a certain group of people are evil and peace will return and things will take a turn for your people if you 'fight'. Many terroists know their fate. Death. But they have no fears for they are brought up to believe those are acts of a hero and their death will make a difference. Like one of the character in the Show 'Ali' said I will die but mt children will have children and my children will have children and we shall fight until we have a home.
Another thing I learnt from the show is never send a group of amateurs to do a professional work. In Munich a group of 5 'ordinary' people were chosen to kill 12 key figures involving the terrorist acts in 'Munich'. Everything they do is a give away that they are amateurs. They panicked, fumbled, fear the death of innocent people, were emotional, have fears, have doubts/struggles and felt gulity.
I was once told everyone strikes to be good. We do a wrong thing mostly cos of the situations or circumstances. This is very evident in Munich. All 5 set off ever ready to kill but soon doubts seep in. Cos they question am I doing the right thing. They want to be right, do the right things. But the question is what is the right?
