I've never seen such an effective contrast between the movie's beautiful animation and the horrific footage. A masterpiece is all I can say :D

[peacerebelgirl]

@11strelokfan1000 it really is. and when watching the film and then after 90-odd minutes of animation see it become real footage makes it so astoundingly real.

[Steenville]

Horrible pictures- and there is no doubt we could see more of this in the future. I remember the Sabra/Chatila massacre very well, a terrible crime.

[peacerebelgirl]

Awful indeed - i was so struck by the last two minutes of this film, all of it animated until the very end when real footage was used. what an effect.

[CPUT99]

the ending of this was so powerful, as someone else already stated using animation (at times whimsical, silly animation...) throughout the movie then capping it off with the harsh reality behind the entire film left me disturbed, sad, and speechless.

@inbar2335 Doesn't really matter. Israel still got a lot of crimes to pay for.

[inbar2335]

@rencrow this massacre was done by christian Lebanese soldiers - Bashir's followers.

NOT ISRAEL !

that's what the film is about. take a history class.

Holy shit. Civility. On the internet.

STOP THE PRESSES! BREAKING STORY!

[mozo73]

@tattat44 I will one of these days. I reread your posts, and although I mostly disagree with you philosophically, you do make some excellent points. I apologize for my curt nastiness.

@shooricus at least my parents are not brother and sister... ;)

[shooricus]

@guentherstoll this part can as well be used by pallywood, catchy title and lots of dead palestinians :) and by the way - your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

[guentherstoll]

@shooricus this is not pallywood you idiot... walz with bashir is an israeli movie...

[rencrow]

Warm animated stories are nice but they don't change a damn thing. Israel will pay for their crimes to the fullest.

[shooricus]

Pallywood does anime :) FAIL :)

There should have been three movies, one like this, another for the Christians massacred by the Muslims, and of course one for all of the massacres committed against the Jews of Israel by the Muslims. I think making just this one provides a slanted view.

[benjamininnit]

@shaiber Yes I know. Don't get me wrong, I love the Jewish people but Israel did a lot of things wrong during that war and stood by and watched while Christian Arabs slaughtered Palestinians. In the scene where he is firing flares over the city, he makes parallels between themselves and Nazis. Whether or not I believe this is unimportant however it is good to see Israelis critical of their own government's actions.

[shaiber]

@benjamininnit arbs are killing each other

israel was the viewer

[11strelokfan1000]

@LookingPastSky You've put it out perfectly!

[LookingPastSky]

@11strelokfan1000 Remember the sequence about the photographer and the horses? He photographs the war through the camera, which distances him from what he's shooting. But when it breaks, all of the emotion comes through and he can't help but break down. Its the same principle in action - the animation distances us, and in the end, it all comes rushing out of us...

[benjamininnit]

This has to be the most effecting ending to a film I have ever experienced. It really made me question a lot of the ideas I had about Israel.

[Xankara98]

@peacerebelgirl Is it because it was real?

[11strelokfan1000]

@peacerebelgirl Quite difficult to imagine something like that as possible, until you see it.

@Mangoyle

And that's just a trifling example. I could rattle off a dozen more off the top of my head.

If you cannot live without a root regressive cause for everything that amounts to nothing better than magic, I think that makes society as a whole weaker, not stronger.

Football clubs don't control public policy. What if every US senator, congressman, governor, and president ever belonged to the same football club? It would be called corruption and yes, it would be banned.
