Bumped and Freeped. I notice the reviewers who loved the movie saw it purely as entertainment or believe it to be historically accurate.

I saw a profile on the movie "Alexander", in which Oliver Stone said something like "We're not historians; directors have 'License'." IOW, "We can take a historical event and twist it to read the way we need it to read." In this case, no thanks.

I am getting a very good feeling about what is happening in Hollywood. It looks like they are getting ready to give America the finger on Oscar night by giving the best picture award to Broke-back Mountain.
Combine that with jon stewart running the show and they will send a big message to the few people who still go to movies that " You will continue to be insulted and you WILL take it, LIKE it or not!. And oh yeah, vote Democrat and death to America!"
All of this just in time for this important mid-term election. How nice is that?

Spielberg has publicized the fact that the movie is fiction, that some conversations and events never occurred, and that he purposely tried to make the Palentinians and Israelis equally wrong in the film.

Your comments are, as usual, very thought provoking. Other commentators/reviewers have noted that Spielberg "humanized" the terrorists, but they suggest that this was an "afterthought", to avoid criticism that he was being too partial to the Israelis. What they may have missed (and what I wouldn't know, not having seen the film) is the notion of "Munich" as an analog for the War on Terror. Should I take that to mean that we will ultimately have to abandon the War on Terror, just as the Israelis had to abandon their anti-Black September operation because one (presumably) "innocent" Arab was whacked by mistake?

Spielberg fantasy wrapped in sober documentary -- is a verisimilitudinous contrivance that is pernicious, especially now
I had to read that three times ... slowly. Well said!

Great piece, Mia.

I read and scored the whole list, top to bottom, so also advanced yours relative to all of the others.

Which quite well suits the tone of the Spielberg [With whom, somewhat sad to say, my producer son quite often works] modus operendi.

Blessings - Brian
