7. Steven Spielberg’s Films Drew Heavily on His Jewish Heritage
Spielberg’s film Munich, which was released in 2005, told the story of the Israeli athletes who were assassinated by Palestinian nationalists at the 1972 Olympics. The story portrays the tragedy by saying both the Palestinian and Israeli sides of the conflict in the Holy Lands, which ultimately led to the massacre. Spielberg felt that his Jewish faith obligated him to tell both the Palestinian and Israeli narratives because there are tragedies and victims on both sides.
