I just saw this movie last night, and I did NOT see all the so-called moral equivalency that people are screaming about.
"If we had not killed those people, what would have prevented Black September from continuing its reign of terror?" askes Michael Bar Zohar, co-author of "The Quest for the Red Prince," a 1983 book that deals with the Munich aftermath... (quoted in The Jerusalem Report, 1/9/06)
Spielberg again has warped the historical facts to fit into the Hollywood movie frame for a "blockbuster" ("Schindler's List" was another example). His movie does not argue the real issues that were involved, but SS's own sophomoric plot devices. You are the poorer for more than the cost of admission and your lost time, if you watched this as a basis for engaging yourself with a situation that demands our urgent attention.

I never read that book, but I did see the movie
Maybe you should before you pontificate on whether I lost money on it or not.

Once again, all dramatizations based on historical events do this. If you want the unadorned truth then read a history book and/or watch a documentary.
