Spielberg should be ashamed of the historical inaccuracies of the film

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2007)

If this were a piece of fiction, I would have rated the movie much higher. The fact that it is non fiction and that, "Munich" was made by Steven Spielberg set my expectations very high to only be disappointed with historically inaccurate details.
As an example, the Mossad in the movie rig a phone with explosives, when in reality they made a table packed with explosives. Another scene shows the agents coming into Beirut with boats and pulling right up to docks, when in fact they landed on a dark beach.
The movie also depicts most of the information on the terrorists coming from informants that appear to be mafia. The reality is that the Mossad did much of their own intelligence gathering, and there was an operations center in Isreal that was tracking and planning events. None of this is in the film.
I can't imagine that these details could not have been easily worked into the film. I can't understand the inaccuracies when considering the unlimited resources at Stepehen Spielbergs disposal.
This movie has undoubtedly distorted for millions of people the reality of what happened, and will continue to do so for many generations to come. Steven Spielburg should be ashamed of the film.
