Even for a media person like LUC who has been dealing with text all the year round, the film reviews published in the paper media still make people feel that something is missing. Or this conventional style has become a constraint for such a film.
The director chooses this more free animation form to tell the story, and it also makes a better effect in the narrative effect. But the point is that it's not as dazzling as "Slumdog Millionaire". I would say that the biggest flaw of "Slumdog Millionaire" is that it is too neat and too Hollywood.
But "Waltzing with Bashir" is obviously not only a breakthrough in form and narrative structure, the picture presented by the large color blocks, thick lines and perfect perspective effects, plus almost impeccable soundtrack and editing, but As far as the viewing itself is concerned, its enjoyment is no worse than any of Pixar's 3D masterpieces.
Usually people are keen to be critical to show their standards. This time I think it's hard for a normal person to pick a bone in "Waltzing with Bashir", even if you don't know anything about the subject matter and don't know anything about the historical background, when the poetic piano in that dream sounded again When you come, you should be touched.
After reading a little background information, the director was doing a TV documentary before, and this "Waltz with Bashir" is no exception. The protagonist is the director himself, and the story is also the real story of the director's own experience. During the entire interview process, there are real people with names and surnames, but they are made into animations. Perhaps it was because of some audiences who might not know much about that history, or to highlight the massacre more than 20 years ago more realistically, the director used real video materials at the end. All the phantasmagoria in the movies have been smashed. History has always been history, no matter if you want to face it or not, and no matter how you tamper with it.
