Jaws, ET, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Star Wars—films directed by the so-called Midas of film. All of them topped the charts with audiences and critics, but Munich was something else entirely.
Steven Spielberg introduces us to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The conflict of conflicts, the eternal struggle of the Jewish people to find their place, expelled time and again from each settlement and searching for their origins. A conflict that has not really been solely Arab-Israeli but has been projected onto a global scale, involving both European and American countries.
Let's return to the starting point. "Munich," taken from the book "Revenge," shows how the terrorist group Black September attacked Israeli Olympic athletes at the 1972 Olympics (the first to be held in Germany since 1936). The result: eleven Israelis murdered, failed demands, and a Olympics that continues.
From this event, Steven Spielberg plots the entire film around the revenge of the Jewish secret services to take down those involved in the incomprehensible and horrific massacre. These Olympic Games, on the other hand, were supposed to represent the unity of peoples through sport.
A harsh exposition that intertwines political ideas, issues of morality, and conflicts of religious or social coexistence. Perhaps too focused on revenge, leaving more substantial loose ends in the background. A revenge that is daily bread, repeated over and over again for so many years. Politics or politicians have never yielded the desired results, perhaps because there have always been interests both inside and outside that want the problem to never end, or as a well-known actor said, "Politicians are people who invent problems where there are none, and then try to solve them."
A dense, intense, and tough trailer reminiscent of the great spy films. Made to be enjoyed every second.
Something similar happens in the world of coffee, as it is one of the most popular products in the world, there are also commercial interests, stock market, exploitation or any other type.
Let's leave those complex topics for another time and simply move on to coffee. As you know, coffee grows on a bush, and each berry typically contains two beans. These berries, when ripe, are a rich, melting red or sapphire red, depending on how you look at them. There are places where coffee is harvested by hand and transported by animals due to the rugged terrain. Then, on the farms, the various production processes take place, depending on the region and tradition.
There are berries that, instead of producing two beans, produce a single bean (only in Arabicas). This bean is smaller and has different shapes (rounded or closed) because it receives fewer nutrients and is more affected by the weather, all due to the fact that it sprouts at the ends of the bush. Consequently, it has a more concentrated, more intense, and stronger aroma. This means that master roasters have to change their roasting strategy to extract its full potential.
But their work does not end here, since the grain "snail"Once denigrated, it is used primarily for its prized blends, thus giving it its signature touch.
Everything has a place within the machinery of life if you know how to apply the correct method.
