Bad Message

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2006)

I found the new Spielberg movie to be very well done, as would be expected. However, I found the message in the movie appalling and disheartening. To try and equate the wrong doing on those two sides is ludicrous. The Palestinians make it part of their interest to kill the innocent, while the Israelis had unfortunate victims in what can only be considered a mission for the future protection of other Israelis. I would be lying if I said that this movie did not have an expected view point but nevertheless I found it to be odd. We have no problem demonizing the Nazis for killing millions, but we fail to see that the radical muslims would do the same if they had the means to. Somehow we want to find the good in them, like some sort of pet project.Spielberg has really sold his soul on this one. But what do you expect from Hollywood?
