Reply #13: After the stark realism of the D-Day...

[Hissyspit]

scenes, the whole rest of the narrative, a compendium of WWII war movie cliches - monstrous German soldiers, the only kind, of course - the final scene where the American flag is waving has his grandchildren in awe-struck silence for his sacrifices as he demands affirmation for his actions implies that no one had shown him enough respect over the years. There is very much a fetishism for perceived World War II moral clarity. It was very subtle in how it did these things, which is one of the things I had a problem with. My understanding is that "Munich" deals much more with moral ambiguity.

I just thought it was a really crappy script.
