Munich
I just watched the movie “Munich“, directed by Steven Spielberg. It was about the Isreali response to the killing of the Isreali athletes at the Olympics in Munich by the “Black September Terrorists. (setting up a secret Mossad assasination squad to hunt the terrorists).
I thought it was an excellent film, which is probably why it was nominated for five Academy Awards. I would recommend renting the DVD if you haven’t seen the movie, because it was good. Apparently I am not alone in thinking so, see, Rotten Tomatos has a 78% rating for the movie.
I came across this section on memorable quotes from the movie at the Internet Movie Database Website. I do think that some of the quotes there were pretty good, but the saying I found most interesting was not up there. I am going to give you it from memory, because I have to return the DVD and can’t stop to search for the quote again. Here goes:
“We live and work in a world of intersecting secrets. We die where those secrets meet.”. This was said by Pa Pa, I think, to Avner when he was questioning Pa Pa and Louis as to who was responsible for the Dutch woman who killed Carl.
A very interesting movie…
