Waltz with Bashir.

An incredibly well written adult animation that is a true story of a man trying to remember parts of his expereince in a war he can't quite remember.

So understanding this is in context to his uninformed and lost, terrified, and congative dissonance with war being part of something that horrifies him. It is very intense, well written, true to human nature and form, because it's real.

It won four international film awards plus a Golden Globe, and was nominated for a BAFTA and An Acadmy Award (Oscar).

It is banned in Lebanon.

I like it because it's a true story. Because it's not glorified bullshit about gun and war. It's *real* war. It tells the stories of the completely baffled, inexperienced, terrified young men with no idea wtf is going on, and having to make life and death decisions for themselves and others when still children and the congative "splitting" or dissonances that happen and the dream like altered reality you enter to cope. Which you brain then later codes into symbolism or erases. It talks of small internal beauty when facing peril. Of fear. Terror. Cowardice. Heroism. Self preservation. All happening in the same person, all at the same time.

We are rarely the simple black and white characters North American film often makes us out to be. We are complex, full of good and bad at the same time. And I like that it's not fictional - these events *did* happen.

That it's banned in Lebanon is telling.
