Even if you choose the same war, compared to the varied and rich content of "Waltz with Bashir", "Lebanon" not only has a single perspective, but often only sees half of the faces of the characters, which is unclear. The human body is surrounded by black dust and greasy dirt, and the story is compressed in a tank one day and one night. In terms of image and sound style, it is close to 2008's "Beaufort" (Beaufort), the picture is real and rough and full of anxiety. Due to the limitation of the scene, there are many times when the tank is moving and fleeing, the roar and noise of the surrounding machines are used to expand the imagination of the space outside the painting.
Having said that, if you want to feel the cutting edge of film technology, or if you want to see how movies can be made in this way, then "Lebanon" is undoubtedly an excellent model, it is worth disassembling slowly, watching and learning. I think the movie wins by surprise first. At the beginning, a sea of sunflowers makes you unclear. Then I jumped into the tank with the machine gunner and couldn't get out for a long time. At the end you will find that this is a trap. The director forces all the audience to fall into it with him and return to the killings on the battlefield that year. Secondly, the subjective perspective of the machine gunner is shocking and exciting. When he is unable to fire or is forced to fire, the anxiety is simply that the audience participates and becomes the embodiment of the protagonist. Without the need for realistic 3D technology, the wandering magnified scope will make people experience the pain of life worse than death, followed by horror and numbness. You can follow orders, but how can you easily convince yourself.
There are four people in the tank, namely the commander with cold attitude, the talkative loader, the nervous driver, and the machine gunner with uneasy heart. In explaining the character of the characters, the director uses simple dialogues to complete the prompts. In the middle of the conflict, because the camera can not follow in time to realize the sparring, sometimes it is not clear which sentence comes from. Fortunately, none of this is important. When the lives of the four people are locked with the tank, their differences and psychological changes are like various reactions in a person. Frightened his legs and peeed his pants, and this person could become the avatar of any soldier stepping into the battlefield.
As a conscience movie, "Lebanon" does not tell how this tank is brave and good at fighting, and how the soldiers are determined and courageous. These novice rookies really don't have much actual combat experience, and panic and cowardice are commonplace. Tanks wrapped in iron armor can still be easily attacked by rockets, and the fragile hearts of the people are even more unable to resist. Don't doubt the authenticity of this story, Samuel Maoz was the machine gunner in the tank. If you have heard some descriptions of wars with flying limbs and splashing blood, then "Lebanon" is far from being a heavy taste. Its taste is all in the form of the movie itself.
