A world without reason - Spielberg, from the first 'revenge' murder, lingers on the faces of both sides. In each account, it doesn't get easier, but the motions become familiar, and Spielberg's dollies, zooms, one-ers etc. are jolting in a formulaic sense; moral muddiness in a constant loop, rising and climaxing, blurring the lines of routine and passion. Basically two hours of Spielberg showing off and yet he confines his skill to a narrative of accomplishment inherently tied to atrocity, with each off-the-cuff set-piece concluding with panache while the images spill with blood and fire, silence and annihilated bodies. That the film's distinct focus on sex - the characters' lack of it and the safety it can provide - is perverted by violence and trauma speaks to the collective pain which clouds up and rains down during the simplest, most primal of moments between people. When bloodshed is currency, there's no other way to pay.

"Every one of the ones who died, died wanting this."

everyone understands the mere futility of revenge but this wants to know how to live truthfully, even just to sit down to dinner or sleep with your wife, alongside the collective guilt of every violent act, if that is perhaps itself a moral compromise.

"Munich" fell short of my expectations, although I actually didn't know anything about the film. The film looks very great, the cinematography is very good and also the acting can convince, especially Eric Bana plays really great. I like that the film deals with how close the boundaries between right or wrong and justice and vengeance are, and I also liked the storyline of the main character. The ploblem is just that the plot did not grab me at all and therefore never aroused tension and I did not cheer with the characters. Certainly not a bad film, but in my opinion one of the worse films in Steven Spielberg's filmography.

Immenso in tutta la sua bellezza.
Tratto da eventi reali, Munich risulta essere un film con una regia, a dir poco strepitosa, del buon Steven che qui ha messo in scena uno dei suoi film più belli andando oltre il semplice thriller tratto da una storia vera, e facendo emozionare il pubblico in vari modi: ansia, gioia, tristezza, paura, rabbia.
Ciò aiutato da una recitazione generale davvero sublime; recitazione strepitosa in particolare di Daniel Craig e di Eric Bana.
Il tutto coronato da un montaggio delle varie scene passate, future e presenti magnifico e da una colonna sonora che....WOW; non la si scorda facilmente, ecco.
Sicuramente uno dei più belli e realistici di Spielberg.
Non un capolavoro, ma quasi.

good .nice ride.

Quiero ser como spielberg cuando sea grande

This movie was sick! My finger slipped or else I would have given it 5 stars

Biiiiiit of a slog, but a few dope Spielbergy direction moments

What this movie suffers from is a terminal lack of chill unique to the Boomer Generation. The way my dad simply cannot-not speed when he’s driving, despite or perhaps in spite of not having anywhere to be, is the same impulse, I think, as the one Spielberg had when he thought cross-cutting between the conclusion to the Munich massacre and a sex scene was the right move. Not an ounce of chill. And yet, there is something to its literary size and pacing that I cannot deny my own affinity for, and to this American Jew, who too must shoulder the weight of Israeli statehood whether or not I choose to, the callousness of the ending rang surprisingly true.

Fthismovie's Junesplotiation Day 2: Revenge!

Based on actual events that took place during the 1972 Olympic Games, where 11 Israeli athletes and their coach were assassinated by a Palestinian terrorist group. This story tells of the retaliation and revenge that unfolded from the attack. Spielberg shows us a dramatization of a controversial story in this political thriller with an angle that allows us to view violence as an ugly cycle and questions the morality of loyalty and nationalism. With excellent performances by Eric Bana, Ciarán Hinds, Daniel Craig, Mathieu Amalric, and others, a fantastic score by John Williams, and a compelling screenplay by Eric Roth and Tony Kushner we see the complicated ethical dilemma that is Munich.
