Munich
I read this piece of news from my daily browsings of film news on IMDb.com. It's about some terrorist dude critisizing Steven Spielberg's current project, Munich. Anyway, read...
*
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. Mohammed Daoud 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. He has been on the run ever since. But Daoud 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. (Israel) carried out vengeance against people who had nothing to do with the Munich attack, people who were merely politically active or had ties with the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization)."

I'm a fan of objectivity, fairness, and all sorts of equality.
But do you really think Steven Spielberg really cares about what the Palestinians think, especially the dude involved in the event? Yala I know the authenticity thing and all that. But really...
Just a thought.

I love Spielberg as much as the next movie buff. But I hate him, just for now, for taking on MY project!
