Slow, full of Israelli propaganda

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2015)

Good story, good film-making and good casting, but the movie is a bit spoiled by its lengthy development and the story gets blurred by political propaganda. Instead of focusing on events or characters, the scenario likes to stray into emotional blackmailing, with some scenes awkwardly turning to be overly dramatic, adding unnecessary emphasis on the good reasons and innocence of the Israeli people and stretching the dialog to depict and justify their "good intentions" in borderline ridiculous ways. That and the little speeches full of political messages.. really not sure all those not-so-subtle arguments add anything to the movie, just load it with biased views and unpalatable justifications. Hollywood may like it, but Spielberg soils himself by engaging in such partisan projects.
