I thin...Spielberg was nominated for best director. I think one of the reasons why the movie didn't get a lot of consideration was that he kept it mostly under wraps until right before its release, and did only one interview, to Time magazine. Because of it being so controversial. . . I wasn't surprised at all for it being one of his films. It was totally something that I could see him doing after Schindler's List. <BR/>Some good thoughts Jacob. I really liked the movie too (if I can say "like" on a movie like that). I saw it right after it came out, made a point of it, but I suppose that is because I am a lot more wrapped up in Jewish culture, religous identity, and struggle than many normal people, Christians I know. If you want to hear more about the Palestinian/Israeli issue, Speaking of Faith on MPR did a great series of two programs a couple of weeks ago, with one week devoted to the Palestianian view and another week to the Israeli. MPR.org, Speaking of Faith, you can download them to itunes or as podcasts or whatever. <BR/>totally worth the time spent.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779779286116108315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784792.post-1143761897874769062006-03-30T15:38:00.000-08:002006-03-30T15:38:00.000-08:00As far as Spielberg's directing. I think he shoul...As far as Spielberg's directing. I think he should have gotten something for it. This just wasn't your typical Spielberg film, I thought. He branched out tremendously in his style, without sacrificing quality. His movies have been rather formulaic in the last 10 years, and I think he went to a new place and did a new thing. I was surprised to see his name on the film.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796177746716701185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784792.post-1143743371160034752006-03-30T10:29:00.000-08:002006-03-30T10:29:00.000-08:00munich was an amazing little movie. it takes a lo...munich was an amazing little movie. it takes a lot of mental stamina to sit through 3 hours of really intense stuff.<BR/><BR/>there were some controversies about this movie because spielberg campaigned hard for this movie to be nominated for a best picture. i dont think spielberg was nominated as a director.<BR/><BR/>i loved eric bana and his group of bandleaders. they were really good actors, and im so glad i was invited to see that movie.m/phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018066077096039965noreply@blogger.com
