Waltz with Bashir



Waltz with Bashir, a film by a Israeli director Ari Folman. The film is a very rare genre "animated documentary". The movie is nominated for the "Best Foreign Language" film category for this year' Academy Awards. By reading the reviews before watching this film, i thought it will be a boring one. The reason is it says about a person ( A soldier) who is affected war and trauma to overcome it and moreover it is said in an animation movie. The belief and what we have seen is animation is used only with fish or rat speaks. Those are fun,  like a talking donkey, fighting cats, but this film deals with a serious point and told with the canvas which was used to create fun and frolic.


The Fact - The story of the film can be said here, because some research for this movie will get us the story which are actual events, Middle East conflict and massacre of Palestines in the war camp by Lebanese militia where Isreal goverment failed to stop the massacre and turned deaf ears to it.

The Movie - Its interesting from the start, the first thing that captivates one is the color, bright yellow with dark colors. The next be the music and some little dark comedy and good story telling.

A good watch for movie goers, for people who like history and for who like Psychology.
