Waltz with Bashir (Animation) | comment |
Waltz with Bashir (Hebrew: ואלס עם באשיר - Vals Im Bashir) is a 2008 Israeli animated documentary film written and directed by Ari Folman. The movie deals with the strange nature of human memory, through interviews with several Israeli soldiers who took part in the First Lebanon War of 1982; visceral visual re-enactments of their memories; and conversations with psychologists about repressed memories, invented memories, and post-traumatic stress disorder.In 2006, more than 20 years after the war, Ari meets up for drinks with his old friend Boaz. Boaz reveals that he's been having recurring nightmares about the dogs he had killed during the war as a marksman. Ari realizes that he can't remember any of his own experiences during the war. That night Ari experiences his first Flashback - a bizarre scene of himself emerging out of the sea at night, naked, to see stars falling out of the sky over Beirut. This begins his journey to rediscover his own past by seeking out the men who were with him in the memory, and deciphering the meaning of the memory itself - a memory of the night of the Sabra and Shatila massacres near the very end of the war.The entire movie, including the in-person interviews, is fully animated - much of it in Adobe Flash. It was the first feature-length animated Israeli film. | |

Badass Israeli | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_1c785368 | comment |
Badass Israeli: Deconstructed/subverted. Pretty much all of the soldiers shown are just scared kids who would rather be back home. Frenkel does have his moments, though. Journalist Ron Ben-Yishai is portrayed this way, as he walks calmly and upright through an intense firefight between the IDF and Palestinian snipers, while his cameraman crawls along next to him on his hands and knees. Ben-Yishai covered several wars in person throughout his career, including traveling to Damascus, Syria - an enemy country! Frenkel is also portrayed this way in the titular scene, where he dances with a MAG in the middle of a firefight (the same firefight Ben-Yishai walked through). Furthermore, we are first introduced to Frenkel doing martial arts practice in a black-belted robe. Soon after, he imparts a pro tip for combat infantry leaders: Use a pungent cologne so that your soldiers can keep track of your location in the dead of night. | |

Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_214c0753 | comment |
Angry Guard Dog: During his time in the army, Boaz ends up shooting twenty-six dogs: their barking have would alert the wanted Palestinians his unit was hunting, and he had informed his superiors that he couldn't shoot at other people, so he was assigned to dog duty. 20 years later, the dead dogs still haunt him, and the opening sequence is one of his nightmares of them chasing after him. | |

Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Folman and Boaz remarking that car bombs are "a blast." The red Mercedes montage. It starts with a group of soldiers trying to hitch a ride on a Huey helicopter by holding on to the skids, but one guy slips and gets left behind. As he's shouting for the helicopter to come back around, a red Mercedes drives past and a man with an AK-47 standing in the sunroof shoots him in the head. The Mercedes then does another, much gorier drive-by shooting on a street in broad daylight, killing another five soldiers. In the next shot, an IDF sniper attempts to shoot the driver of the Mercedes, but the car just happens to pass by some random farmer on a donkey who gets shot instead. Next, an IDF artillery battery has a go at the Mercedes, but they keep missing the car and blowing up a whole row of houses behind it. Finally an F-4 jet targets the Mercedes from above and drops a big bomb right on top of it, taking out an entire street... and the Mercedes emerges from the cloud and drives away. | |

The Atoner | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Folman's story of the search for his lost memories, as well as the very reason he lost them in the first place, is of guilt over whatever happened on the night of the massacre of Sabra and Shatila. While he didn't directly participate, Folman cannot deal with the guilt of having been one of the Israeli soldiers whose job was to launch flares into the sky above the city- the light from which allowed the Phalangists to commit their atrocities. The "falling stars" from his vision are actually flares. | |

Self-Serving Memory: Used as the main component of the plot, when Ari has a bizarre flashback about emerging naked from the sea near Beirut - a distorted memory that his mind conjures in order to protect itself from the realization that he may have indirectly participated a massacre. The rest of the movie is mostly a discussion / deconstruction of the trope to explain why this happens in real life. | |

Art Shift: The film abruptly changes to live-action news footage at the end of the film when Folman comes face to face with his memories of the Sabra and Shatila Massacre. This is a Call-Back to earlier in the film when Folman is interviewing the psychologist: Like the soldier that viewed the war as if "through a camera", the film's animated style can be interpreted as representing Folman's dissociation from the events of the war. When he is confronted with the grieving relatives of the massacre's victims, Folman can no longer diminish the reality of the atrocity he is witnessing. The graphic novel adaptation switches to photographs of the massacre, with only one photo of a wailing survivor. | |

Murder by Inaction: the true source of Folman's guilt. He and the other Israeli soldiers didn't participate in the Sabra and Shatila massacres - but they stood aside quietly and watched while Lebanese phalangists butchered the refugees, even knowingly continuing to launch flares into the sky despite knowing that the light was allowing the phalangists to find fleeing victims. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: Boaz told his superiors that he "could never shoot a human being". So they gave him a silencer and told him to take out their dogs instead. The dogs began to haunt his dreams from that moment on. | |

Separate Scene Storytelling | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_e5128f80 | comment |
Separate Scene Storytelling: Events, that are being recalled by characters, are shown as animated sequences to avoid too much of Talking Heads. | |

Match Cut | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_ed503b22 | comment |
Match Cut: During Frenkel's description of day-to-day life on the beach in Lebanon. We see a soldier in nothing but white briefs sitting down for breakfast on the beach, with a backgammon board and a football scattered about. He gets a phone call, puts down the plate, and stands up. As he's getting up, we match-cut to him in full combat gear in an orchard, hunting for terrorists. | |

Anti-Climax | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Near the end of the movie, after the true intention of the Phalangists is discovered, we see how the news of the massacre wanders up the ranks of the IDF. When it finally hits an Israeli officer who cares and takes action, it's already morning. We then see a military jeep driving up to the Phalangists, a man gets out, picks up a bullhorn... and says in a deadpan voice: "Stop the shooting". The Phalangists stop, the surviving refugees return to their destroyed camp, and the man drives off again. | |

War Is Hell | |
Waltz with Bashir (Animation) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: The director stated that he intended to show that war is awful, and to not give the audience any heroic characters to emulate. Indeed, the stories people tell generally reflect poorly on the IDF in general and them in particular. | |
