Waltz with Bashir

One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs...

Very fascinating start of a movie! I was hooked right on to the animated images with so many angry dogs running blindly... as if they are on a mission. And they are!

This movie has won awards like you pick up sand on a beach. Just have a look!


This a biographical war drama story about few Israeli men who were sent on war when they were just like 19 years old. Ari, the main character, is intrigued by the loss of memory of those times. Curious about what happened, he visits his old friends who remembers that he has left. One link to another, he puts the story in the form a movie which depicts the woes and pain of war with high dose of cynicism.


The animation is real good as well is the music. And you must listen/understand the songs that they play - just so funny and damn cynical! The movie is, of course, in Hebrew mostly. So, don't forget to check the sub-titles.

This movie is an amazing change from almost similar stories that I have seen in past 2 years. I highly recommend it.

This movie is slow. Period.

I mean, just count how many slow motion shots you see in the film... and the director is sorry for that. Yeah, you can hear the actor saying "I am sssowwwrrryyyyyyyy" so many times.

Probably there are many guys who can related themselves to Wesley Gibson character, working all day long like a donkey. But how many can find a boss who can make your heart beat faster than 400 bpm???!! Either she must super damn hot or just the worst formidable creation of God. But either ways, you would be dead because you are just not a super-ass-ass-in.

The movie starts with good narration, but loses the tension when the action begins. You might not like watching a Dodge Viper getting trashed (just like I did), but the chase is good. And how can I forget the theme of the movie! Curving the bullet! Ah, now that's something even our Rajnikanth can do. What a shame! Bollywood Kollywood (?!) beats Hollywood this time =P

Morgan Freeman fails to convince with his soft spoken cursing. He should stick to roles of God. The most convincing character is the butcher! Yeah! He is given the best dialogs in the film which actually reflects the character of the hero. Enjoy his Latin accent during his conversation with Wesley. You are a pussy! Puto! Time to learn some Latin profanity! =D

Go for this movie (for boys) if you like rear side glimpse of Angelina Jolie and her my-oh-my tattoos. Girls, I don't know what is in it for you! Maybe second half of the movie where Wesley goes shirtless?! I-ammm-sssowwwrrrryyyyyyyy!
