      "Walking in the Water": Israel's Poetry and Israel's Ito Fox

      The moving part of Israeli films lies in their profound themes and special humanistic care, especially those traumatic films, which always have a shocking force with people.

      Speaking of Israeli movies, many people think of gay movies, such as "My Lover in the Army". Although I do not reject this kind of same-sex love, every time I watch gay movies, it is always a little unnatural. a feeling of. The director Ito Fox, who was born in New York, came to Israel in his childhood and...

      Analyze the details~

      I agree with everyone that this is not a gay movie~ Eyal and Axel are just a little ambiguous friends~ This movie explores that people should know how to purify the body and mind at some point, and let go of any evil thoughts from head to toe. Only in this way can I live happily~ Eyal finally did this, thanks to the help of Axel~ So Eyal finally dreamed of walking on the water with Axel~

      From a certain angle, I found that Eyal was so It's a bit like Jake Gyllenhaal (representative:...

      High-minded

      Well, this is a special one among the gay movies I have watched. Involving politics, there are more racial elements, (MILK also has a lot of political elements, but I didn’t finish reading Milk). The whole story is full of insinuations of hatred between Nazis and Jews. . . I have never avoided this topic. From the contacts and conversations between the two protagonists, and the people around the social background, they seem to be asking what Germans think about the crimes of World War II when...

      Rare my cup of tea

      The director Eytan Fox is actually a newyorker. He went to Israel with his family when he was two years old. No wonder his films are like mixed juices, and they can be tasted in any flavor. It's a pity that it's too low to produce. It feels like filming is like a sideline, but I like it all I've seen so far, because he knows how to be sensational. I am very old and very sensitive to tears.
      Recently, I only watched gay movies. Although this one is not counted, he entered the list of my...

      This is an affectionate history book

      There are no emotions in the world. It is more exciting and cherished to come together than through the layers of religious obstruction, the dust of history, the inner estrangement and distrust. The feelings of the same sex or the opposite sex are the deepest and most memorable, especially in Israel. ----aolit

      A certain day in September was the last time Germany paid its indemnity during World War II, and it was also a certain time when the Berlin Wall was pushed. I happened to be...

      As a special agent, it is really unbearable to put such an important thing in a place where it is easy to be found. There is also this painful ending. There was no foreshadowing of the relationship between the agent and the sister before, but the ending directly made the two of them have children! And what the hell is the younger brother killing his grandfather inexplicably! Also, it is strongly recommended to remove the same-sex label, it is too...

      It's really a very beautiful and moving film. The undercover dog blood is a matter of unresolved hatred after the war. There are reflections and sorrows. Steel straight men X can be attacked and German handsome guys. Same. The director is very fond of the German brother. The German is a good young man. He doesn't look for his own people when he shoots, and he has the love of the world. The key is to look so...

      The historical origin of Israeli Jews and German Nazis is the background of the story. The director's sharp eyes and accurate narrative techniques are praised. Everything is because of love, suicide because of love, revenge because of love, understanding because of love, and acceptance because of love. Love and confusion, crime and punishment, grudges and disputes, national hatred, historical debt! Described so amazingly! No kiss and no bed scene, but the scene where it falls in the arms is...

    Movie quotes

    • Axel Himmelman: [tries to walk on the sea and falls in]

      Eyal: [sarcastically] Bravo. You did it.

      Axel Himmelman: You don't understand. You can't just come to the Sea of Galilee and start walking on water. If you could, everybody would be doing it. You need to prepare yourself.

      Eyal: And how would you do that? Please enlighten me.

      Axel Himmelman: Well, you need to completely purify yourself. Your heart needs to be like it's clean from the inside: no negativity, no bad thoughts.

      Eyal: And then?

      Axel Himmelman: And then you can walk on water. I'm sure of it.
