Enjoyed this highly imaginative animated documentary in the afternoon. Few cartoons have such a cinematic feel. As soon as I came up, I was stunned when the scene was pulled by Chopin Bachary, who was being chased by 26 vicious dogs. It is said that this documentary reflecting the 1982 Beirut refugee camp massacre was made into an animation because of insufficient funds (budget of 2 million US dollars) to restore the war scenes, and it is the animation's shape and style that make the film unique. The story of the whole film is very simple. The aftermath of a soldier's war caused his memory impairment: is it a nightmare imagined out of thin air? Or an unforgettable bloody past? By interviewing 9 comrades who participated in the massacre together, the protagonist returns to 20 years ago to pursue memories, constantly shuttles between reality and non-reality, and finally restores the truth of history.
The most imaginative scene: a soldier suddenly jumped out of the cover tunnel under the hail of bullets and rushed to the center of the square covered with huge posters with the head of Basher. Holding the submachine gun, he waltzed intoxicated while shooting. That's awesome, I love this scene so much, there are pictures of Bashir full of bullet holes left in the square. Dream or reality? Dreams are reality. It's just that we can't believe the cruelty of reality.
The innovative form is the film's "alternative excavation of realism". At this level, the film has been successful. However, the handling of "play" in the film is even more appropriate, which is undoubtedly closely related to director Ari Folman's military experience. indivisible. In contrast, if we think about our Nanjing again, the results of filming only with "concepts" are indeed quite different from others!
