I have seen it

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2005)

I went to a screening last night. Spielberg did a great job of weaving events of Munich with re-imagined events of agents plotting their attacks. Eric Bana's character has a lot of depth and his acting his excellent, plenty of emotion and his range is amazing. What his character goes through not only as a man, but as a man on a mission, with a family, and the allegiance to his country makes his mind go through many tumultuous stages. Various underlying characters do a great job, as members of his team. The next Bond, Daniel Craig's character is a bit showy, Matthieu Kassovitz is virtually unrecognizable, and Ciaran Hinds character remains composed.
As for any stance regarding Jewish/Palestinian comments that Spielberg/Tony Kushner/Eric Rogh make, I think they are taking real events that happened in our lifetime, some of which have to be re-imagined. They realize that peace in this region is still an ongoing process, and who knows when this may occur, but it is something we can wish for. It is interesting that there is dialogue that reflects this ideology, and yet today, the same situation remains in the Middle East.
