I don't get it

Rating: 4/10 (5 February 2007)

I did not like this movie because of content. The acting was good and the script was believable but the subject matter was very disconcerting. What happened to the Israeli Olympians in Munich is not depicted all at once but is broken up into several different flashbacks throughout the film. Each one gets more intense until the end when all the athletes were killed and the terrorists along with them. The audience is supposed to feel so bad for these twelve men when a character in the film casually mentions that over 200 Palestinians were killed in retaliation. But that's not enough. Now an elite hit squad must be assembled in order to make every mastermind behind the operation pay with their lives. And of course the hit men make sure they don't kill any children, they just create an orphan. No I found this movie extremely biased and inappropriate considering the happenings of the world today. Its not okay for a nation that is not sanctioned by the UN to enflict vigilante justice on people who could very well be innocent. It's not okay for two hundred people to die and then the movie goer is supposed to feel bad because 12 Israelis died. How come Spielberg did not show the charred bodies of the civilians lying on the ground after they were bombed indiscriminantely by Israeli tanks. I just think he should have depicted both sides a little better instead of brushing by it in order to appease the liberals. Well I hate liberals but I'm sure they are appeased.
