Enough of the background...Let's get to the movie. "Munich" clocks in at over 2Hbut never leaves you YAMNing...
Attempting to understand what drives nation to kill other nation for any reason is [in the pit of the soul] a challengingenigma... Whether that "REASON " is war between countries at odds, protecting one's self when endangered...evenge or vengeance for deeds perpetrated by "THE OTHER "... for panic in the moment of survival - each of these feels wrong despite the fundamental belief to the contrary at the moment of killing*****
Steven Spielbergonce again impressed us with this raw... ...But very moving and exciting movie, inspired by the 1972 olympic games. The special effects are intense..plus there's this whole big story behind... very complex.. 【Eric Bana】Munich【Steven Spielberg】 A long way fromE.T.now..... ......Stephen Spielberg takes a dramatic look at the revenge that taken place following the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes
atthe Munich Olympic Games in 1972.
Spielberg But, just to make sure we get it,Spielbergends the movie with a stark shot of the mid-70s New York skyline, compete with the Twin Towers in the distance
. That cycle of violence continues today & will probably, inevitably, continue well into the future.. Speilberg uses his abilities to great affect to support the tired homily that violence breads violence. The MOVIE is EXCELLENT on set piecesbut as a whole it has no substance, even though it is 'inspired' by real events in world history. Speilberg strip mines resources quite well, using strangely enough, mostly non-jewish actors to play all these roles...
IMO... the MAN Speilberg is a genius filmmaker
, but now he wants to make a difference he makes me wince... A must for Spielberg fans. Speilbergdid a great job turning a pulp fiction novel about the theme of cloning In all seriousness
, this movie is an exceptionally " well-made
" film with all the impressive qualities of one of the finest directors of all-time helming the project..!!
