The archive photos and films help draw the audience into the story, by giving them visuals of the actual events. This style makes us feel like we are part of the event. A major component of this is the use of news footage, which emotionally invests the audience into the picture, making them eager to find out what happened next. The marriage aspect of the piece can be both a good and bad thing. This aspect adds a real weight to the film, and seriously emotionally invests the audience into the story. They care for Andre and his team more than they would have before if this had been a straightforward telling of the story. On the negative side, there are those who are looking for a straightforward telling of the story, and there are those who may have strong feeling towards the Israeli and Palestinian conflict that might become angered at the humanising of the Israelis but not of the Palestinians. The documentary features an interview with Jamal Al-Gashey, one of the Palestinian terrorists, which adds an interesting perspective on the story, but although he gives his side, neither his nor any of the terrorists' lives are focused on. The choice of rock music is another case of both negative and positive. On the positive side, it again draws the viewer in closer as this is the music that you would be hearing at this time in history, and in sequences such as the montage of the Games continuing whilst protests and terrorism still carries on outside, which is played along to Led Zeppelin, the song matches with the editing of the clips and the intensity of the situation on either side. On the negative side, there have been criticisms (Rotten Tomatoes, 2015) about the choice of rock music during the shots of the aftermath of the shootout, playing through graphic shots of the corpses of the Israeli athletes. The late acclaimed critic Roger Ebert remarked that it was a "tasteless conclusion".
