Munich

Currently listening to: The relentless pounding of my festering ear infection

Last night I went to the movies with Gerson. We saw Munich. Holy crap.

I haven't seen such a powerful film in a while. I won't really give away any details (not like it would be a big deal anyways, it's a historical event that most people know about already), but, it was of usual Spielberg quality. It was definitely done with the same level of detail and care that went into Schindler's List.

The wierd part about the whole thing is, though, that it makes you feel bad for them. On the news, I always watch people blowing eachother up left and right as they fight for control of the Holy Land. But, while following this group of Israelis throughout the story, you feel for them, and completely understand what they are feeling.
It's on the same grounds as Grendel. From reading Beowulf, you learn that Grendel is this horrible monster that should be killed. But, after reading Grendel, you start to think that humans are evil and should die.

I like stories like this.
I thoroughly encourage YOU to go watch this. Just go to the bathroom beforehand, it's 2 hours 50 minutes long...
