A complete Steven Spielberg Film : no doubt about it

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2008)

If one looks closely at Spielberg's cinematographic career, one would find that he has booked a special slot for controversial films which are even thought provoking to some extent.He achieves this hidden effect by choosing themes about which people are bound to have diverse opinions. This is the reason why Spielberg has complete hold over his work as someone like Richard Attenborough had for his film Gandhi (1982).Munich is one of a kind film which must be watched with an open mind as a biased viewer might spoil his own viewing pleasure.There is no need to take sides as nothing is shown neither in black nor in white. Although some of the situations featuring an ensemble cast of talented actors are truly spectacular there are certain confrontation scenes which defy logic.Although Munich tackles the same Jewish question as Schindler's List,it is very different from that film because of its insistence on color and an elaborate cast of actors.It is one of those rare American films completely dominated by French actors especially Mathieu Amalric.He is the only shining light of this somber drama.
