I'm a big fan of "Munich"; I thought it was powerful and dynamic. In its way it helped ameliorate the horrors of the '72 Olympics, as if anything could. It also brought us Eric Bana who is a great find if you ask me. I also thought well of "Empire of the Sun", largely because of the cast, particularly John Malkovich who can do no wrong. But this, this mush of a movie should have stayed locked away in memory. No need to traipse all the dirty laundry out for the world to see. What's the value of that? I really don't get it. Was Spielberg tired of being accused of never doing anything personal? Well, this more than makes up for that. And I'm unclear, despite its two and half hour length, did his mother get the help she clearly needed (at least through the lens of Spielberg et al.)? I also liked Jaws and will watch it again every time it's on tv. But I won't watch this again. E.ver.
