Waltz with Bashir
The scene that stands out the most to me was the child's head protruding from the rubble and more specifically the former soldier's mentioning of how the child reminded him of his own daughter. That they had the same curly hair and were probably about the same age.The goal may be to show the effects of dramatic life events such as war on the human mind. The film, until the very end that is,kind of felt like something that would go on in someones head.The film did revolve around memories. It was awkward, frightening,violent, confusing and introspective at times.Just like the human mind can be, especially under psychological stress I think. Maybe the best way to capture the psychological aspects of war and the human mind was through animation.Yet I do not think it would be effective to use animation to describe or discuss a war and that's why I think the film ended with real live scenes of this event with no narration.These scenes, unlike a majority of the film, spoke for themselves.
