Waltz With Bashir

Posted by dave c on September 10, 2008 at 04:42:56:
This Israeli film was a big hit at the recent film fest but I didn't manage to see it till today.
We had a professor of Israeli studies go into some detail about it including the double meanings of some of the language.
Then... well, I found the animation style of what is a very serious film somewhat offputting but that mught just be me and you do get used to that pretty easily.
It concerns the massacres of Palestinian refuges by the christian phalangists with the connivance of the Israelis and is made by a man who, as a young conscript, was actually one of those setting off flares so that the killers could see what they were doing... very heavy stuff!
But... and I wish I didn't have to say this... I walked out. AFter only 20 minutes.
Half the sub titles were missing. Very odd. I thought it was just me but someone asked me if I had any idea what was going on... and I didn't.
6 chunks of dialogue and up comes.. "so was it an accident?"
I didn't have the slightest idea what "it" was let alone whether or not "it" was an accident!
When I realised I could hear people all over the cinema asking the same thing I headed for the door.
You have been warned.
