That pretty much sums it up right there.
The whole Munich Massacre thing seems to boil down to Jews killing Arabs, as far as Spielberg is concerned. Amazing.
Well, I'll skip the movice and buy the book by George Jonas. Trust me he is no Liberal!
Without any context? how about the murder of Israeli athltes in Munich? Isn't that context enough? Too bad, 'cause that's the picture most people would want to see. Instead it will be a more 'nuanced' portrayal where the concept of 'evil' or 'bad' is nonexistent. In other words, watered-down garbage.
The genuine story is not squeaky clean. The Isreali hit team screwed up big time and killed the wrong person in one of their revenge killings.
What's his beef with Charles Bronson?
There is an entirely fictional scene in the movie in which [the leader of the Israeli hit squad] and his Palestinian opposite number meet and talk calmly, with the latter getting a chance to make his case for the creation of a homeland for his people. That scene means everything to Kushner and Spielberg..... Without that exchange, 'I would [said Spielberg] have been making a Charles Bronson movie — good guys vs. bad guys and Jews killing Arabs without any context. And I was never going to make that picture.' "
Spielberg has officially sold out.
