We all know the story of the 1976 Israeli rescue of hijacked Air France passengers in Entebbe, Uganda....for most everyone has probably already seen at least one movie made about it. Well this much is for sure.....the director of the newly released 7 Days In Entebbe must have had to work as hard as he could....use all his powers of artistic license.....and in effect pull off a minor miracle to end the film without anyone in the audience having any emotion at all.....for the rescue was....sterile.....I don't know what other word to use.
The film didn't directly attack or criticize Israel but by leaving this vacuum at the end when one would normally think that saving 100 lives was something good....it's what the stare might be like from a feminist college professor who had to give an A+ to a blond guy wearing a Trump tee-shirt....just because he got 100 out of 100 multiple choice questions right on the exam......surely there must be some sort of 'chad' thing.....or wrong pen color thing to fail him!
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of modern dance.....or modern art......I'm not a fan of modern anything.....but an Israeli modern dance troupe plays an integral part of the film....from the beginning to the end. I imagine it's probably real good stuff....if you like being mesmerized.
Up to the end I thought it was a good film.....a very good film. The portrayals of Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin were excellent.....particularly Peres. The surgical efficiency of the Israeli military in the rescue mission was evident....and there were some decent character studies.....except Idi Amin who seemed like he'd be a fun guy if he's just quit that atrocities habit of his. Here's a hint....if you stay for the end credits you will be treated to something that only a very very intelligent person could understand.....maybe even only a genius! I'm only a college grad so I had no idea.....but if you are into people like Elizabeth Warren.....you'll probably get a lot out of it....it might even change your life....you might quit your job.....move out to Arizona.....and spend your days looking for a great white buffalo or something!
So should a conservative go see the film? I say yes.....if you are confident of your opinions then it's not going to shake them....but you should know that there are a lot of big name conservatives out there nowadays who get real worried when simple people like us come across unpleasant things......so they just don't tell us unpleasant things.......for we might begin to actually think for ourselves. Here's a hint for them though......we've been thinking for ourselves for a long time now.....that's why your a big name conservative....so get back to work!
