For all of you wondering what films may be ducking low under the radar this week and next you may want to see which of your local theatres is showing off Spielberg's latest pic, Munich.
Munich Review
The good people over at AICN have now posted two reviews for Munich with this latest go being even more positive than then last.
MUNICH is quite frankly a masterpiece of film storytelling. Whether or not it is great history – is frankly, not for me to decide. That MOSSAD Agents are lining up to essentially attack the film for claiming that they might have a conscience… well, sadly – that’s the whole point of the film.
You see, this was a film made by a man with a conscience. Spielberg is a citizen of the world that makes films for everyone in the world to enjoy. He’s an incredibly emphatic person who can’t help but think about what he would think if he were put into the incredible situations that the characters (fictional or non-fictional) that occupy his cinematic universes.
Is it really surprising that someone that loves PINNOCHIO would imbue his hardened characters with a Jiminy Cricket? I find it hard to imagine not being haunted by killing anyone. It’s kinda why I try to avoid intensely violent situations. Most every review I’ve seen for MUNICH seems to reflect directly upon the direct actions of the film. The retaliation of the Israeli government upon those responsible for the Munich Olympic slaughter of Israeli Athletes. That is the surface level story that the film is telling, but I also feel that Spielberg’s film is dealing with something greater than just the Israeli – Palestinian conflict.
So far the only major complaint we have heard about Munich is its Kong-size length. But, if you dig a film with an extended running time, then head over to AICN to read the entire review for Munich.
Munich is out in theatres now.
