I'm sure it would be accepted by many people if the movie was not some single-minded finger pointing session

What?

I dont understand your logic on this one. Could you explain please?

I'm not referring to any specific movie or anything, but merely being hypothetical. Though the tone of my response sounds as if I'm wholly defending Spielbergy, I'm not. But saying that, I don't think the question you posed about telling a story centering on the family of a man who wantonly kills gay men is as on the mark as you want it to be.

Every evil person has a family. They might even have a good family. The interesting and devestating aspects about humanizing terroirists, or at least trying to, is to juxtapose their heinous acts against their normal family man life, and how these poles can even exist...saying that, Spielberg doesn't do a great job in doing this. I think the context of the story is the wrong one to pose these questions, considering the public aspect of their assassinations. But I'm obviously not Spielberg.
