This one looks authentic
Narrative
During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, an American team of sports broadcasters had to prepare for a live broadcast of a terrorist group taking Israeli athletes hostage. I love real historical dramas. Especially from the eras in which I lived. I know this story and have seen it in various film formats over the years.
And too metaphorically
As already mentioned in the title above, this story seemed to me the most interesting of all. I saw Spielberg’s “Munich” in the cinema many years ago and I remember that I still found it too long and bloated. Even boring, I’m afraid to say. This version of the facts is tougher, the duration of the film is shorter, time in the film is ticking, and lives are at stake.
And also air time
You are in the control room of the ABC Wide World of Sports channel when tragic terrorist attacks occur during the 1972 Olympic Games in Germany. Chicken cigarettes. Dial phones are used for communication. A major crisis is developing in the Olympic Village.
But history is rarely beautiful
It’s a good history lesson for Gen Z. I think it’s even suitable for elementary school history lessons through high school, but it’s rated R, so no. John Magaro and Ben Chaplin shine brightest with their outstanding acting. This film is worth going to the cinema.
Perhaps it will be useful for him to learn a little history
It would be nice to take a child of high school age to the cinema to watch this film. After that, he will come out with you and ask: “Did it really happen?”
