Prior to watching the movie I had heard about the events but never knew too much about why and how it happened. I feel that the movie did a good job at putting together the details to pull emotion from the viewer, especially the pictures of the murdered bodies. Although that may have been disturbing to some, I feel that it showed how horrific this event was. After seeing this movie I feel sorrow for what happened and I also feel that all the countries came together to stand for what they believed in. Each country showed its own sense of nationalism and the movie showed that very well. As for nationalism being portrayed, the Israelis were not willing to give in to what the Palestinians wanted because then that would show defeat, although they were risking peoples lives they did it so that Israelis would not have any shame later in life. Also, Germany had a goal with the Olympic games and that was to show the world that they were good people and that their history was no more. I feel that Germany came together to prove this. The Palestinians came together as well and showed pride for their country, even though it was a negative way of showing it they still fought for their beliefs.
