Misfits

Now the oscar awards were a blast. The guys were great, the ladies were stunning and the awards,apt. But yet, something sparked me about all the works of the directors. They spoke for society. They spoke for appeasement. I'll hit Munich and Transamerica tonight. Well simply because, i have watched these two films.

Munich is a fight between the Palestinians and the Israelis. The Black September , the Munich Massacre and the Israeli response of the Mossad team sent to kill those that were involved in the operation then. So the movie starts off with the palestinians barging into West Germany and killing these athletes from the israeli athletic team in hope of getting their fellow palestinains freed. Anyway, it was a poor attempt and a moajority died. It then moves on to show the formation of the mossad team and their killing operations one by one, their escapes, some deaths of their team and their reason for such passion with the help of flashbacks of the munich massacre when the israelis were killed.

What we didn't know is that in the event of this, in real life then , was that the Mossad team had killed an innocent civilian, a waiter they had mistaken for one of those responsible for the munich massacre then. In anyway, it seemed as if the whole movie leaned towards the jews as victims as they were always known to the world. But noone is born a bad egg the palestinians behave the way they are for a reason. In themovie , there are segments of maturity in the palestinians and righteousness yet also naivety but yet admirable patriotism to the two sides. The movie ends with both countries displaying their affectionfor their nation and how they will stop at nothing to get what they deserve, a land they can call their own with no prejudice or judgement. It shows that the world is real and that if you fuck people, then ditto. Its dog eat dog.

Steven Spielberg has done this film not in an aim to show what was Munich. Steven Spielberg is handing in a prayer for peace but yet we all know that there is no prayer for peace, no appeasement for war nor is there end to greed. This film has depicte dmany aspects of our lives because we choose to see things from our side. Is that human nature or is that nurture? Movies are a guideline its application thats essential. Munich is a film that asks for peace with no judgment. Peace comes with compromise and a determination to believe that there is good to the bad that we all think it is. Full marks for intentions, none for realism.

Transamerica, a film of the transexuals. This gives a full describe of the haggards of our society, their perception and their ability to judge thats somehow unfair but yet so much of a sentence. this film talks of a man that undergoes operations to become a woman. As he is incomplete(transexual), he gets a call from the prison that his son is in jail , This son is illegitimate and came about in his years when he had a fling while he was a complete man. the movie goes on with the strength of a person that is determined to become a woman but yet afraid to admit to many. It shows how the son is in acceptance of her only for her to realsie that her son is actually an aspirer to be a gay pornstar.

These two troles in our society have been built by a firewall crossed upon by the people that believe in equality and created by those that see what they like and insult what they dont like. It requests acceptance and understanding. It explains that no life is hard if we have strength.

Noones life is too hard to an extent that we have to end it. The end is always sweet. Full marks for intention, full marks for realism on part of their lives and how their classified buy immature judgement in our society.
