When forgiveness is condescending.
I finally saw Munich.
What I anticipated: Disguised as a film that critically examines the ethics of violence and revenge between two peoples with separate histories of oppression, Israel's supremacy over the Palestinians would be subtly affirmed via the presentation of it as a nation capable of and willing to engage in such internal dialogue in the first place, in contrast to the Palestinians, who have no understanding of the nuances of justice.
What it actually was: 10% that thing I just said; 90% chase scenes and stuff getting blown up.
Reminder #5642194 that you can never expect too little out of Spielberg.
