Thread: Munich

  1. #1

    Default Munich

    I can't possibly say enough good things about this film.

    It is, hands down, the best movie Steven Spielberg has ever made.

    It's important that you all see it while it's still in theatres.

    Oh man oh man I really want to see this. I don't know too much about what happened, so this will be interesting to watch.

    Glad you liked it, though.

    I forgot it was out already. I like most of Spielberg's movie, either serious or lighthearted, and, considering how good I thought Schindler's List was, I'd really like to see Munich. Hopefully it'll be in theatres for a number of weeks so I have a chance to go.

    I take it this is the movie about that Olympics incident with which Spielberg is revising history and appealing to murderers in the pursuit of achieving world peace via film? I'll pass.

    If you want to know more about a historical event, don't consult moviemakers.

    I always wanted to see 'One Day In September' but could never aquire a DVD that worked with my player, so I definitely want to see this. Although, like Ryukishi said, I wouldn't use it as a learning tool.

    I've a problem with second generation Jewish Americans making these type of movies. Just just so....expected?

    A bigger hit home is movies like 'Downfall' non-Jews accepting their past & portraying, accurately, the madness their forefathers participated in.

    If this was an Arab movie, that was honest & not riddled with subliminal propaganda, it'd be a more entertaining movie.

    I hope it's not too late for me to bump this.

    I saw Munich yesterday and I really liked it. Gritty, and fascinating and definitely thought provoking. Best Spielberg movie? No way. Not by a long shot. But I really did enjoy this movie although I did think that it ran a little long.

    I really like Bana in this role, and the phone conversation with his daughter just killed me. But oddly enough, my favorite character had the least amount of screen time, which was Lynn Cohen as Golda Meir. She was captivating. Especially since the only previous roles I've seen her in was as Miranda's maid.

    But yeah, I thought it ran a little too long. There wasn't as much emotional impact as I thought there would be, and the ending collision montage with the sex being intercut with the murders was just plain bad. Bad way to end such a good movie. I don't know what Spielberg was going for, but it just didn't work.

    Great movie, but defenitely not what I expected. Wasn't completely centered around Munich. It's about revenge over in Palestine. Good, but kind of disappointing.

    For some reason I'm completely unpsyched to see this movie at all. Seriously I just don't want to sit through it. No idea why, I know it'd be good, I just...really don't want to see it.
