great movie that will open your eyes

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2006)

Munich is a great film that shows incredible depth into the Israeli-Arab conflict that dominates world news these days. The mostly unknown incident at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany,was unfortunate, but the film enlightens us with the prejudice that feeds the fire of the war today. The film is completely objective, though viewed through the life of one of the Israeli assassins. When I first heard of the movie, I thought "oh great, another biased film for the public to misunderstand", but I was completely debased. Arabs and Israelis are both represented as great people, loving and caring as we consider ourselves, but unfortunately consumed by a never ending war. I was very impressed with Steven Spielberg, but am disgusted that the film isn't getting the attention it deserves.
