30/20
In contrast, September 5 plays like its Bizarro counterpart
During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, an American sportscasting team must adjust to live coverage of Israeli athletes held hostage by a terrorist group. Saturday Night was a film about the making of the original Saturday Night Live.
It’s undoubtedly a powerful film, but it’s hard to imagine who the audience might be
While Saturday Night leaned toward the humor of the making of SNL , September 5 is understandably devoid of any comedy. Instead, it’s a sobering true story about ABC’s sports news team covering the Olympics, where the initially joyful atmosphere turns to horror when gunmen storm the athletes’ village and start shooting Israelis.
And let’s be honest: neither the news media nor Israel are very popular these days
Americans, who are no longer known for their enthusiasm for history, may find a story in which the “good guys” lose a tough sell. A film like this might have resonated a decade or two ago, but today, depicting faceless Palestinian murderers and brutally persecuted Israelis doesn’t resonate as much as it once did.
But modern audiences are increasingly aware that Palestinians have voices and grievances, too
That’s not to say that the murdered athletes weren’t victims—of course they were. Reducing them to one-dimensional villains ignores the broader context of the ongoing horrors in the occupied territories.
Similarly, the events of 9/5 are factual, but they are also incomplete
It’s like telling the story of Custer’s murder on the Little Bighorn without delving into why the Lakota and Cheyenne were evil. Sure, you could depict Native Americans as killers, but doing so would ignore the larger reality of broken treaties, stolen land, and genocide.
