A powerful part of history we're not familiar with

A brilliant and moving film, Walts with Bashir follows one man as he tries to remember his role as a soldier in the 1982 Lebanon War. This leads him to several conversations with his fellow soldiers, each one offering disturbing, sometimes horrifying revelation about what was done. Though it is animated, it is quite violent and graphic, but very powerful. The final frames show real life pictures from the event which really drive the film home.

Excellent movie in all respects

This movie was excellent! The animation and style was interesting and innovative. The storytelling was brilliant and captivating. The artistic direction and some of the shots they used were breathtaking. Great panoramic shots, panning landscapes, dream like shots make this movie truly stand out.

The music was an amazing fit as well and added a music video quality to the surrounding destruction that was very powerful.

Many movies have several of the things I've mentioned but this movie not only had them all but sacrificed not a drop of story telling ability, interest, and power. This is probably my favorite movie of 2008.
