"Waltz with Bashir"

A war record pieced together from memory. She has no political stance, she simply starts from the image of people, and she is deeply and wonderfully.

If the film is made into a real documentary, it may not be difficult, after all, it needs real image support, but if it is made into a semi-documentary feature film, the space provided by the film will also present an excellent work.

The creator uses an ingenious animation method (of course, excellent animation production is also very difficult), and applies light, shadow and animation effects to the extreme, and adopts different narrative methods according to different people, sometimes like Terrence Horsepower. The hallucinations and inner reflections created in "The Thin Red Line" sometimes follow the true reproduction of ordinary war movies, and sometimes they are like stylized B-level movies... The most important thing is that it is not because of animation production. Forget about camera placement.

A work that has extraordinary creativity and respects the normal audio-visual nature of the film. In fact, this balance is more difficult.
