interesting use of animation for a serious exploration of complex issues including PTS, memories of battle, the stark contrast of an oblivious civilian society literally living next door to a war zone it begins with a nightmare and a man (former Israeli soldier and veteran of the Lebanon war) who contacts a friend and veteran to discuss it. the friend who is the filmaker realizes he does not remember his time in Lebanon and sets out to contact former colleagues to verify his experiences. what starts as an interesting discussion evolves into a dark, very cynical anti-war tirade very graphic, definitely not suitable for pre-HS

This is an excellent film. It shows the reality of war as a frightening human experience. There is no glorification of violence. It is true that there are some sexually graphic scenes that make this film unsuitable for children, but they are a minor part of the overall story. Most importantly, this is a very effective anti-war film and it's from a young soldier's perspective. Also, the extra features--such as the interview with the filmmaker--are well worth watching.

The animations, the drawings and the story could be done much better.

I really appreciated the way the film was put together. The human mind is an extraordinary thing. I do not believe the director was trying to lay or to deny blame in the conflict. Moreover, I feel that this film really shows how helpless everyone involved seems to feel during war.

Pornographic. Can't believe anyone would think this is suitable for a 13-year-old child.

Waltz with Bashir recounts a struggle of a man to recall his memory about a profound event in his past.Although the animation is not as best interms of graphics quality, the story line seems to surpass any shortcomings in the presentation of the film. So without further ado, i give this movie two toes up.

Good – Waltz With Bashir (2008) 90 min. First animated film to be nominated for Best Foreign Picture (Oscars). Powerful and well-animated film follows a Jewish soldier’s recollection of his days in the 1982 Lebanese War. Later in life, he is haunted by images in his dreams but can’t remember the incidence that’s sparked this horror. Through discussions of those days, he begins to remember the atrocities that were committed and the reasons for his dreams. The end of the film left me emotionally exhausted as animation turned to reality demonstrating the effects of violence on a community.
