An Eye for an Eye (2016) Reviews
Beautiful message but difficult documentary
"An eye for an eye" delivers the story of the shooting of several innocent Muslims after the events of 9/11 and how the man responsible for that and facing a death sentence gets help from an unexpected side, from one of his victims. As already mentioned in the headline, the movie delivers a beautiful message, one of forgiveness and love. It is a shame, in my eyes, that a country like the United States, that claims to be the leader of civilization, still sticks to something like the death row. It is a rare and moving event that out of all persons, a victim takes a stand for the accused and criticizes the charge. In this point, I totally agree with the movie and even think it is an important lesson especially in times of increasing hate and anxiety. What I find a bit difficult, though, is that, as he claims himself, the producer in the end become more of a friend than a neutral observer. Of course it is well possible that people change and if the accused really means the things he tells on camera, he surely deserves a second chance under new circumstances. Nonetheless I had to swallow when the movie tried to help him by portraying what a harmless guy he was before the shootings and how the events more or less overwhelmed him. With all due respect, but you shouldn't try to explain murder and you shouldn't play down wearing a swastika and SS symbols and many things more. This is what leaves a bitter taste for me. Yet, I'd advise you to watch this film because you can learn a lot from it, just not, maybe, which role is the perfect one to shoot a documentary.
Thoughtful movie of a murderer forgiven despite being executed in Texas
After 9/11 A white supremacist takes the law into his own hands and kills two people and wounds another. 10 years later he is executed on Jethro but his life has been moved by the forgiveness of one of the men he attempted to murder, who recovered from his wounds And shows another trait in Islam, Forgiveness. This helps the Accuse the man to come to terms with life and repent of his views. This ultimately leads to his own forgiveness of himself and he's turning around to accept Jesus Christ. A moving message told by sincere people in this epic film based on truth.
