My chief concern is the reflective self doubting that has entered Mossad related literature as of late. This gut gnawing questioning of the morality of killing terrorists and characters abandoning their righteous posts stinks of Le Carre’s leftist “The Spy that Came in From the Cold.”

I do hope the film points out what bungling buffoons the Germans were in this tragedy.

So now I’m torn. We don’t like to go out and see movies too much these days as it is hard enough keeping our baby on a good sleeping pattern. And I really want to see King Kong. King Kong or Munich on the big screen?

I disagree with the author on Star Wars. It may not be political propaganda, but certainly is a rich with moral propaganda and moral absurdity. Obi Wan tells Anakin “I loved you” after he cuts off his legs. And somehow Obi Wan tries to take the moral high ground by declaring there are no absolutes. What the F? Isn’t the Jedi order a group of men aligned by absolute beliefs (protecting the Republic, sexual abstinence).

"My chief concern is the reflective self doubting that has entered Mossad related literature as of late. This gut gnawing questioning of the morality of killing terrorists and characters abandoning their righteous posts stinks of Le Carre’s leftist “The Spy that Came in From the Cold.”

I guess I would have to see the level of self doubt and the overall portrayal. This review makes it sound like the Mossad operatives were consummate professionals who got the job done, and for whom self doubt was a mission accomplished post facto indulgence.

"I do hope the film points out what bungling buffoons the Germans were in this tragedy."

For that you need to rent Arthur Cohn's "One Day in September." The Germans were portrayed as incompetent appeasers. The Olympic Committee was more concerned about the games than about a few expendable Israeli athletes.

I pick my movies very carefully these days. Hollywood gets me so ticked off that instead of actors I see political useful idiots on the screen.
