(after he had fingered adolf eichmann in argentina, it was mossad agents who took the former nazi down.) i have never forgotten you salutes this bureaucratic detective as the man who first insisted that war crimes are sins that won't die unless they are dragged into the open. the fascination of six days is that it was that same thirst for historical justice that fueled israel's victory in the six-day war, though with far more ambiguous results. a tense, taut diary of a high-stakes military chess game, the film presents gamal abdel nasser, the egyptian president, in intimate photographs, provoking the war out of his too-close-to-the-sun dream of pan-arab nationalism. it also looks closely at the anxiety and bravura of the israeli leaders, who knew that they could smash the arab war machine. six days, though, makes the potent case that in taking over all of jerusalem, israel turned its greatest military triumph into a pyrrhic victory. a debatable thesis? yes, but also one that asks the price of certainty. i have never forgotten you: b; six days: b+ posted may 22, 2007   you might also like movie review lynch (oct 26, 2007) | owen gleibermanmovie review jimmy carter man from plains (oct 26, 2007) | owen gleiberman   add your comments the rules: keep it clean, and stay on the subject or we might delete your comment. if you see inappropriate language, e-mail us. you must have javascript enabled to submit a comment. your name your grade -- change/edit your grade your comment * characters remaining you might also like movie review lynch (oct 26, 2007) | owen gleibermanmovie review jimmy carter man from plains (oct 26, 2007) | owen gleiberman from people owen wilson's model friend id'edlindsay lohan begins community servicekanye west: thank you for support and kind words add to my aol, myyahoo from instyle look of the day: natalie portmantransformation: queen latifahparties: katherine heigl and daily hot shots add to my aol, myyahoo   home | help | site map | about us | advertising | magazine customer service | subscribe | promotions | privacy policy | terms of use | rss copyright © 2007 entertainment weekly and time inc. all rights reserved. more trusted sites from time inc.:all you | coastal living | cooking light | cottage living | essence | health | in style | life | myhomeideas.com | myrecipes.com | people | people en español | real simple | this old house | southern accents | southern living | sunset | time | time for kids
