I enjoyed the movie! Mr. Daniel Barenboim obviously has done a great deal to try to establish a connection between the Israelis and the Palestinians. I really admire what he has done for that cause; it really appears that he is fair in his opinions of the Israelis and Palestinians. What I mean is that he is Israeli, but will speak out against the Israeli government when he thinks there is injustice. The prime example, from the movie, of that is when he quotes the Israeli Declaration of Independence and really ticks off the chairman of the Wolf Prize foundation. She was so angry at what he said in front of the group present with the Jury of the Wolf Prize. I admire him for doing that; what he believes in, is contradictory of his government and he spoke up about it.
Additionally, I did see the physicality of music. I never imagined music to be physically draining. The musicians and the conductor became very sweaty while they were playing. That is what I mean when I say that I can see how much effort he puts into that organization.
It was interesting to see how much the orchestra travels. I was a bit jealous of them, because I personally would love to see Germany and Morocco. What a great experience for those kids to see so many countries in Africa and Europe.
