Munich

"Somewhere inside all this intransigence, there has to be a prayer for peace"
-Steven Spielberg

Munich. Great film. Great tragedy. Great cinematography. Greatfuls? Grateful. and Great fools. Like many have already said, this is spielberg's best film since Saving Private Ryan, and perhaps his most important one ever.

164 mins long, and I didn't feel a minute of it.

And one off the list.


What makes a terrorist? An overwhelming belief in something? What makes a deeply religious christian or muslim or whatever? An overwhelming belief in something too.

A terrorist and a religious non-terrorist. Both have the same level of belief in what they believe in. You find a terrorist's beliefs naive. The religious non-terrorist knows that his god or the equivalent will somehow save the day, gives salvation. Isn't that naive too? If not, how would you know that the terrorist's beliefs are lesser than the religious person's.

My religious friend says she can feel her god's voice talking to her, telling her that everything is planned for. A terrorist says he can hear his god's voice in his head, telling him to declare holy war. What is there to say whose god is correct? Is your god actually doing anything?

If a spark ignite, will your belief makes you a potential terrorist? Think. Then think again.

In my simplistic and humble opinion, religions contribute nothing to world peace.

Five billion people can pray together for world peace and nothing will happen.
