We'll know when it comes out.
"Exodus" was a terrific movie. Sound track awesome. Even though there was artistic differences between Paul Newman and the director, Newman's performance was outstanding. When Spielberg glorifes the pali terrorists, I don't see how "Munich" will go anywere. Besides, Spielberg is totally H'jerk and needs a hit in the worst way.
"It's easy (and natural and maybe even necessary, for some) to demonize the enemy, especially when he wants to wipe you and yours from the face of the Earth."
Yes, that sounds easy. A slam dunk in fact.
FOX-bashing--the first refuge of the liberally biased.
Never friggin' happened in the real story. I read "Vengeance" (a great book), and Schpielberg's fiction merely tries to humanize the Pali butchers.
I love movies about historical events. I would like to see this, but if it becomes a platform for making excuses for what these terrorist scum did, I'll ask for my money back.
This leaves me confused. EXODUS was made into a film, and a very successful one if I remember correctly. It even showed the bombing of the King David Hotel. What's the reference to 'Durban'?
Those currently in power in Hollywood want a world in which there are no absolutes of morality. A world of gray...so that the Self-Centered-Desire-Of-The-Moment can be fulfilled without interference of conscience... They will side with "Bad" Guy in "Black" because darkness covers the real ugliness of the events... Think about some of the tabloids' reports of late night clubs and how totally ridiculous & perhaps even disgusting to themselves the celebrity patrons would look if the floodlights suddenly came on & the music stopped.
The difference between the violence done by Islamic Terrorists and violence done by the Israelis... Well, Israelis do not strap bombs onto mentally disabled children. Or for that matter pay parents to have a child become a suicide bomber. Terrorists do not need to be understood, they need to truly meet the One God...
I was kind of excited to hear that Spielburg was making a movie about the Olympic terrorism. I saw the movie "One Day in September," and I thought there were a lot of interesting things that were suggested that would make for interesting plot elements in a movie --and make Germany look cowardly and E. Germany look suspicious. But I have a feeling Spielburg isn't going to touch on those interesting international dynamics. Speaking of Spielburg's Jewishness, Isn't Spielburg more into that UFO nonsense than God?
this guy doesn't seem to want to be specific about his complaints against the complainers, so his tirade kinda melts away
it could be an interesting movie, but a sympathetic portayal of terrorists is pretty lame, even for Spielberg
will have to wait and see
I found it hard to get past the slam about Fox News "feel-casts."
I kinda stopped reading right there.
There was one of the Israeli strikes early in the movie, I thought, hey, they said when the original Bronson "Death Wish" came out, the audience stood up and cheered. I'm no redneck, but glad I held back, cause in a way I felt that way. But nobody else did. The movie could have been made to evoke such emotions; that might be faulty as well.
