AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Jackson Booth-Millard I knew this Israeli / Hebrew film was animated, and I knew it had something to do with a war, but I had no idea it was a real life subject, it is essentially like A Scanner Darkly, cartoon imagery put over the real life filming. Basically in 1982, Ali Forman was aged nineteen and working for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as an infantry soldier, in 2006, he meets former army friend who tells him of his nightmarish experiences from the Lebanon War. Folman is surprised he cannot remember anything from this period, but later at night he has a vision from the night of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, he cannot clearly recall the realities of it, he has memories of himself and fellow soldier comrades bathing by the seaside in Beirut at night under the light of descending flares. Folman meets with a childhood friend who advises him to find other people in Beirut at the same time to understand what happened there and revive his own memories. Folman, amongst others, meets friends and other soldiers who served in the Lebanon War, a psychologist, and Israeli TV reporter Ron Ben- Yishai who covered Beirut at the time. Folman eventually realises he was with soldiers surrounding the Palestinian refugee camp, he was among those soldiers firing flares in the sky for the Lebanese Christian Phalange, and a massacre was perpetrated inside. Folan concludes that his amnesia of the war stemmed from his feeling as a teenage soldier that he was as guilty of the massacre as those who committed the atrocity, the end of the film dissolves from animation into actual footage of the aftermath of the massacre. With contributions from Ronny Dayag, Dror Harazi and Ori Sivan. The documentary has a very different and ingenious concept, memories from a bleak time history are reignited after twenty-five years, with the war stories presented in flash and 3D animation, adding to the surrealistic edge of the film, it doesn't shy away from the dark moments, with traumatic and almost hallucinatory sequences of the horrors of war and the crimes committed during, all together it is a most interesting animated documentary. It won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, it was nominated the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year, and it was nominated the BAFTAs for Best Film Not in the English Language and Best Animated Film. Good!

kely-campos1789 The psychological conflict of the war brilliantly explained I must say this animation is very similar to the story of a book. Achieve illustrate all without taste of war, human stupidity, feelings and small flashes of humanity that can go into a war.Walts with Bashir could be described as a well-narrated film without vices or propaganda.Quickly, the story grabs you and you live the torments of characters in each of the situations presented.This is a film that should be present in the election of a film lover.For me completely exceeded my expectations, so I evaluated with 10

michaelhirakida Waltz With Bashir (Vals Im Bashir) Is A Great Film. But Its Also A New Step In Filmmaking. Ari Folman makes a rare type of film that no one sees. Animation and Documentary combined. This is one of the most revolutionary films ever made because its a new way of telling a story and a new type of animation having some of the most realistic character models in a animated film to date.The film follows Folman as he interviews soldiers from The Deadly Lebanon War to get his memories from the war back as he was a soldier. The stories are shocking with each soldier telling his POV of the war. Folman is not trying to point fingers here. He is trying to show the effects of war like other films do (Das Boot, The Hurt Locker) and does a terrific job at it.I like that they are very careful not to make this film to colorful. Most of the colors in the film are black, Grey, green, brown and yellow. If the film had too many colors like red and blue and pink, then the film would look strange and odd. Without all these colors, the film looks Grimm and hell-like. Thats what Folman was trying to do here.I am so impressed by this film. It is sure to become one of the greatest films of the millennium.92/100 A-

CinemaClown A documentary. A war drama. A historical account. A biography. Waltz with Bashir qualifies as each one of these, in addition to being a gripping & powerful tale being told through the medium of animation. Depicting the horrors of war in an emotionally engaging manner, this animated documentary only gets more unsettling as the story progresses.The story of Waltz with Bashir is narrated in two timelines. The first one is set in present day Israel and finds Ari Folman, this film's director, meeting & interviewing fellow veterans of the First Lebanon War, the time period he happens to have no recollection of despite serving in the military that time. The second timeline is set in 1982 and illustrates Israel's invasion of Lebanon.Written & directed by Ari Folman, who also stars in the film as himself, Waltz with Bashir is crafted with immaculate precision, composure & attention to detail from start to finish and is brought to life in a unique manner, thanks to its pioneering animation which resembles a comic book illustration. The script is deftly penned down & its transition on the film canvas is thoroughly captivating.Technical aspects exhibit a lot of inventiveness here for its Cinematography makes stellar use of its camera, colour hues & lighting to expertly capture the feel & flavour of this story. Editing brilliantly paces its 90 minutes of story and makes sure each sequence plays a role in the final print. Max Richter's score is absolutely fitting. And the animated characters are splendidly voiced & also appear similar to their respective real-life figures.On an overall scale, Waltz with Bashir is an aesthetic, artistic & surreal piece of cinema that presents its writer-director in complete control of his craft as he attempts to regain the lost memories of his service in the First Lebanon War and in the process ends up adding a new chapter to the manual of filmmaking. A work of quality that will be able to score highly no matter what genre(s) one puts it into, Waltz with Bashir comes strongly recommended.
