Munich

[MetDream]

Has anyone watched Munich?

Based on actual events, Palestinian terrorists hold hostage and ultimately kill a group of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. In the tragic aftermath of the infamous murders, a Mossad agent (Eric Bana) tracks down the assassins. Ciaran Hinds and Geoffrey Rush co-star in this film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Tony Kushner (award-winning playwright of "Angels in America").

Very intense and very sad. The intensity of racial prejudice, terror and politics are personalized through the portrayal of the sensitive human behind the assassin. Very good movie. I find it to be ironic that the last scene of the movie was set across the harbor from Manhattan with the twin towers intact. Leave it to Spielberg.

I watched this on dvd when it came out, I thought it was pretty cool. The main assassin guy played a really cool role, he's a good actor, I'm too lazy to check his name right now. It was definitely a good movie, I wonder how much was based on historical facts?

Another great Spielberg film. Kinda wish he gave up on the kiddy ones these days now. Maybe just one more Indiana Jones, at least before Ford turns 70.
