Reel StuffOliver Stone is doing a
movie about 9-11.
I suppose we'll learn how it was all a CIA plot.
Meanwhile
Stephen Spielberg is doing a film about the squad that tracked down and killed the men responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
Daniel Craig, one of the British stars of the film, said that the screenplay is a less-than-flattering portrayal of Israeli tactics. "It's about how vengeance doesn't work - blood breeds blood."As it happens, I read "Vengeance", the book on which the film is based, about a week after 9-11. It was a terrific read, especially at that point in time. But I don't recall that being the message. The squad succeeded in killing several of the men responsible for Munich, but in the end some of the members of the squad are killed themselves as the hunted turn on the hunters.
