I've seen the doco's and original film and indeed was a young 20 year old when this event took place. I must say I'm surprised at so many negative comments. I found this film very human. The hostages were ordinary people in an extraordinary event. The Israeli soldiers, terrorists, Ugandan soldiers were ordinary people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences come together for all different reasons. I do not believe that the film sympathised with the terrorist as some here have said. But I do believe some elements of this film compared to our current times should be a warning against dispassion. I enjoyed this version of the historical event. I enjoyed the mix of idealism, duty and revenge displayed through and resultant from ideology. I also enjoyed the background of the modern theatre even though I'm sure I did not understand all of its nuances. To me it showed the continuance of the normality of life during an event of life changing proportion.
