[lbo-talk] Munich

[joanna]

The movie is purportedly about WWII -- but I found the subtext to be 
much more troublesome and contemporary. I watched about 3/4 of the movie 
and then felt too disgusted/angry to watch the rest. What I took the 
"moral" to be was:

1. World War II was a war fought over and against the Jews. There were 
no other victims.
2. It is worth while to save the lives of educated people before you 
bother with the working class.
3. You basically have two choices: to work for good capitalists or to 
work for psycopathic capitalists.
4. You're lucky to have a job.

I also found the movie to be pretentious and puerile at the same time.
