According to Robert Fisk in his book "The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East", pp.484,488–489, Israeli defence minister at that time Ariel Sharon and Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan met with the Lebanese Phalangist militia units, inviting them to enter the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps and telling them the PLO fighters were responsible for the assassination of their leader Bashir Gemayel. This is the core information that was neglected/distorted in this movie.
I know this will sound stupid, but a fact is that chosing animation is a bit wrong, you don't feel the simpathy as you would feel for real actors, but I understand the decision, and its truly a masterpiece. It does take you in the mind of the director, gives you an ilusion of dream, fractured reality and darkness, big time darkness, its amazing. I think its somewere near Schindlers list, really near.. as good as it can get, I wouldnt have it any other way, GREAT MOVIE
I know nothing about this conflict: YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW. It's so well made as a film that you empathize with everyone in it. WOW! one of the best films I have ever seen! Great music too - extremely atmospheric. 5/5
sorry to say this but Arabs are Real Nazies, not all of them but many of them.
they Nazies without power, if they will have the power they will do to everyone in Israel excactly what the Nazies to the Jews in ww2. that their dream, specially of the "innocent" Palestinians. if they will have nuke they will use it in the first second they will get it, they don't care how much womans and children will die, they jsut want Israelies to die. just like Hezballah, Syria, Iran, Al-Qaeda...
yeah the MUSLIMS will conquer Europe and much of America. When they have the numbers, they will reveal their true intentions, and all others will be under siege from the Islamic Caliphate. The Catholics will fall, Israel will burn in a thermonuclear explosion, and the massive and powerful Latter Day Saints will assemble and finance a powerful military force, this will be world war 3.
Hitler convinced Germany that jews are a threat. He was afraid of them, intimidated by them, so he killed them. Let's not do the same thing with Palestinians. Let's not punish people for things they did not commit, things that we think they might commit if they had "power." Yes, there might be some arabs who wish all israelis would just die. And i'm sure there are some israelis who wish all arabs would die. But these people are extremists, controlled by fear. Don't be one of them.
Just screened in my college. Ditto, left everyone speechless, no one moved until a minute after the credits. One of the most intense movie going experiences ever. I recommend it wholeheartedly if you are up for it.
ogmak31: Where is the guilt, tears for 100,000 Christians raped, tortured, murdered & maimed by these "poor victimized" Palestinians (& Muslim allies) during the Lebanon Civil War that provoked the revenge by the Christians at Sabra & Shatila? Where are the tears by irresponsible leftist Israeli filmmakers for thousands of Israeli civilains murdered & maimed by Palestinian terror? These self-serving filmmakers create a bad image of Israel & IDF helping the very successful anti-Israel Arab PR.
your right, and besides Sabra and Shatila it's nothing to compare what happned to the Jews in world war 2. 6 million people being torutred, raped, burned and slaughtered from no reason. Here the Lebanese Christians did it as revenge to all the christians that died because of the Palestinians. in the Holocaust the Jews died from no reason.
@Yuval012 seriously what does that matter? There is no justification for ANYBODY to slaughter women and children. I think all isreali and palestinian extremists (or any extremists for that matter) should die and burn in hell, and the rest just shut the fuck and learn to live with each other
The Palestinians in this camp had nothing to do with raping torturing murdering and maiming 100,000 Christians, or killing Bashir for that matter. All Palestinians combat fighters had been evacuated on a ship to Tunisia two weeks before the massacre. FACT. If some Palestinians caused terror in Israel or Lebanon, not every Palestinian should pay the price. Revenge makes little sense here. I'm lebanese, and i'm christian, and I'd never defend the christian forces who did this
Just saw this movie tonight in Leicester (Odeon). Was really hard hitting, something that you don't get very often. Was excellent. Left me and everyone else in the room speechless throughout the credits. Definitely worth a watch, try not to download!
If you can help it, don't see it on divx. See it in the theater. The movie is so beautiful, it's worth going out of your way to see. A movie like this comes out maybe once in a decade. You won't regret the effort, and you'll probably also be supporting a good independent theater in the process.
I saw the preview for this at 'Slumdog' in Miami and was instantly captivated. This looks absolutely amazing. Exactly like what people are saying in the comments here is how I imagine it would be. They are only playing it in NY and LA right now. I must see this! Please bring this to Miami!
There are really no words to describe how amasing this film is, it's just an incredible, accurate and very true film about the innocent lives of everyone.
It is certainly out in a few European Countries, don't miss it everyone. I saw it yesterday and watched in awe. It is so real in spite of its form. The plot, the flashbacks, the emotion, the vividness of the whole thing... Above all, its truth!
Don't get surprised if at times you feel as if you are there.
Amazing movie, though I don't agree with his stance on rotoscoping at all. It's still an art form in my opinion.
