Waltz With Bashir is an animated movie from Israel which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film (among other awards). It’s about how the main character, Ari (who also wrote, produced and directed the film), tries to piece-up memories that he didn’t know he had of the war he fought in. He met with friends and people who was with him during the time in order to help him remember.
I enjoyed it. It made me realize how it’s possible that one can completely (and unconsciously) wipe-out any recollection of a tragic past. Not that I have a past that I want to completely wipe-out… or maybe I have one and I just can’t remember.
Hmmm, I should start watching other movies. I have been watching war-themed movies for the past months.
