Completely Tasteless Film!

Rating: 1/10 (4 March 2006)

I cannot understand any of the comments that claim this is some sort of masterpiece or even a well made movie. The movie is tasteless and pointless. I was expecting to see a very high quality, well made movie, as Spielberg is capable of making (on the order of Schindler's List) and was anticipating to take a position on the "political" side of the movie. What I found was a really bad movie and not much more. It was completely tasteless in the "sex scene" at the end where Avner is passionately screwing his wife while seeing scenes of the massacre in his head. It was just disgusting. This was after a movie with no certain direction, full of really bad dialogue, below average acting and an uncomprehendable presentation of the Israeli revenge team. Why did they try to make them look so unproffesional? Why does the movie have almost nothing to do with the massacre except as a background theme? Why did they put that corny, far fetched, unnecessary scene with the Israelis and Palestinians in the same room? What did Kushner want to say and show, besides that he is a really bad story teller? Don't bother wasting the three hours on this movie that I did. Watch the documentary on the Munich massacre instead. There you see a well made, intriguing film, without any political hints and fictional settings and tasteless scenes. Shame on you Spielberg.
