Watched the latest film by Stephen Spielberg, the best film nominee of the coming Oscar, Munich. It is a good film...Smoothly and sharply edited with no excessive prolongation, the filming of the works is very nicely done. The colour of the film used by the filmmaker is very retro but lively. The scene installation and the costume design are another outstanding aspect of Munich. When I saw the work of Clooney last month, I thought it would be a big hit for the coming film award, but then after I saw Spielberg's one, I would prefer to reconsider the forecast of the award result. One of the special attractions of Spielberg's work is his ability to produce his stories with a certain degree of entertaining elements, be it love relationship, thrilling scenes or deepened description of the characters etc, and Munich shows again his talent in these regards. This would be one of the recent Hollywood films that have lessened the conventional elements of the Hollywood films. The casting of the film is promising, and I would say the performance of major characters like Eric Bana, Mathieu Kassovitz and Hanns Zischler are all excellent. Similar to Clooney's film, Munich has been merged with the historical news scene of the incidence of Munich massacre in 1972. Naturally inserted are the TV news clippings and this acts as a lubricant to the story development of Munich. Agreed with quite some critics that Spielberg has tried to be neutral on the issue of conflict between Israel, Palestine and the Western world. This is not an easy task though when doing a film like this. Quite a few US films talk about topics like these after the governance of Bush and his policy of dominance on the global issues. There is truly a need of rethinking for the people in this world on the balance of power and the global norms that would govern how this world would go to...(A)
