This is criminal! I can’t believe that a famous American film Director hasn’t pampered to a murdering terrorist and involved them in his new movie! How inconsiderate not to have sat with him for ages to let him recite his tale and tell how great he is and generally incite others. Imagine how evil Spielberg must be not to have given him some enjoyment and allowed him to have a say in a movie that will show him to millions. From IMDB:
Steven Spielberg has been criticized by the only surviving Palestinian terrorist behind the massacre at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, because the director failed to consult him over his new movie dramatization of the tragic events.
Afraid you might get shown in a poor light? You’re a terrorist mate, of course you will.
…was a member of terror group Black September in the early 1970s and was responsible for the deaths of 11 Israelis in Munich’s Olympic Village…
…is so angry with Spielberg’s supposedly pro-Israel stance in new film Munich, he contacted news agency Reuters to put forward his side of the story. He says, “If someone really wanted to tell the truth about what happened he should talk to the people involved, people who know the truth. Were I contacted, I would tell the truth.”
Right, right, whatever your reasoning and the acts involved it does not give you the right to kidnap and murder people who are engaged in one of the biggest events that this World carries out. An event that brings diverse, and often warring, Countries together for a short period of time in the name of sport.
Frankly, politics aside, I don’t think they have the right to be involved in this movie, although I can understand the point about authenticity. However how do we know which way the movie is going? There’s so much speculation about this film and we haven’t yet seen or heard anything concrete about it.
