Before we talk about any other race, just look at ourself. Are we any better? Agreed, Spielberg is a Jew, and he might be little more inclined to Israel. But did he? The movie is about the aftermath of slaying of the members of Israeli Olympic team. If someone has really watched the movie, without dozing off of course and yet says Spielberg is taking Jews and Israeli side, then I'd advice him to strictly stick to the movies like "Wedding Crashers" -- time-pass, fun and no need to ask any questions. "Munich" on the other hand is Spielberg's take on aftermath of massacre and Israel's decision to take a vengeance and eliminate those who were responsible. Without giving away the spoilers, the conclusion of the movie is what good it did to Israel by lunching such a secret revenge mission. Did an "eye for an eye" policy bring any peace to that region? It's not about Spielberg glorifying Jews at all or about ridiculing any other race. A brilliant movie -- simple old style yet innovative thriller with flashbacks and slick editing, some great performances and equally brilliant dialogues -- no preaching or trying hard to convince the viewers. The conclusion of the movie is out there, in the news archives, among the headlines of the newspaperss -- what is the cost of the vengence and does it really do any good? Hunters are eventually hunted and the cycle never ends. Daniel Craig doesn't look as wooden as he looks in the pictures haah!!! Seems like a good choice for a James Bond. eh.
