It brings us back to the problems we've gotten away from

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2007)

This is such a clever film, in that it utilizes a lot of clever aspects (example: whenever they do the assassinations, there's always a clever way of doing them). I am very glad that Spielberg chose to direct this film and similar to Schindler's List (but of course, not even close), he takes into account the care, consideration, hardships and aspects of the Jews during very hard to cope with times. And as this does not compare to the caliber of Schindler's List, I do believe it's another brick in the wall for us to learn from and begin to understand those hardships if we're not Jews ourselves. And any film that deals with the hard times the Jews went through is stunningly powerful and emotionally resonant. Yet, ti still has that urgency and that importance that something can happen like that at any Olypmic game or at any time. Security and safety may have doubled since 1972 but that war and threat against security and safety has doubled as well. There's always new technology to be used and to be abused. But Munich, however, really captures the thoughts and the cares of the Jews, as they take their revenge and that's where the raw emotion and heartfelt theme takes its presence. That's where Spielberg takes his presence and really captivates the audience into understanding this piece because that's where you get the knowledge needed to pass this on to future generations because this problem, this threat will continue on for generations and generations.
