I don't want to see it again but I think it's a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2006)

I would like to disagree with comments that I've just read from pfarmer891 about Spielbergs Munich. I think that the main message was totally overlooked and your comments were mostly concentrated on facts that sometimes are useless. So what if the Fiction movie is not totally based on facts, but do you think you can actually get those facts straight in a conflict like this. If the movie ads on in order to created a clearer message, I believe it's not a crime. And I don't think that the message was the standard Hollywood "why can't we be friends". I thought it was the message of desperation and hopelessness about the situation in Middle East. And it makes the story even stronger when we look at out the same conflict in 2006 and realize that nothing has changed, because the violence has continued. If Spielberg would have taken sides, then that would've been a standard for the modern Hollywood - Israel is the victim and Muslims are all terrorists. I thought it was a very brave move by Spielberg to try to analyze the conflict from words of both Israelis and Palestinians. The "safe house" part of the movie might have seem ridiculous to you, but why, is it impossible now for people of those to nations to sleep under one roof? If you believe that, then the conflict is inevitable in your world. I think people who go to see this movie, should not come there trying to dissect every setting and decide if it can be fact or not, but look more deeply into the meaning of the film. Try to get rid of all the previous conceptions and just watch it from both sides and then see if you can decide who is right. I think that's the point, that it's no one. Too many people have died to naively believe that any of the allegations of the truth, be it from Israelians or Palestinians, can be justified.
