Waltz with Bashir is a 2008 Israeli animated documentary film written and directed by Ari Folman. The film was conceived as a journey in search of Folman's lost memories from the 1982 Lebanon War
In 1982, Ari Folman was a 19-year-old infantry soldier in the Israel Defense Forces. In 2006, he meets with a friend from his army service period, who tells him of the nightmares connected to his experiences from the Lebanon War. Folman is surprised to find that he does not remember a thing from that period. Later that night he has a vision from the night of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the reality of which he is unable to tell. In his memory, he and his soldier friends are bathing at night by the seaside in Beirut under the light of flares descending over the city. Folman rushes off to meet another friend from his army service, who advises him to discuss it with other people who were in Beirut at the same time in order to understand what happened there and to relive his own memory. Folman converses with friends, a psychologist and the reporter Ron Ben-Yishai who was in Beirut at the time.

THE MUSIC
The funny thing is, a lot of people here in Israel blamed Ari and the movie for being very left wing. Did you guys feel it was biased toward a certain end of the political spectrum? Perosnaly, I thought he did a pretty good job at just describing what happened over there.
I especially liked the first scene, with the dogs.
edit: I thought of the ending when I first looked at this thread..
Yeah, it is really powerful, all I did after the movie was over was to sit in silence for a few moments
yeah it was a fun movie
I LOVED
Also: Hotel Rwanda and Waltz with Bashir on the same evening would probably make one depressed for ages.
All the character animation was done in flash, and it looks shit-hot.
I didn't really see any bias either, it was just showing what happened. I wish I could play this movie on my PC but it doesn't support Bluray. The most striking images for me were the ones in the cities. That part about the amateur photographer whose barrier that held back reality broke was amazing. The horses.
I was upset that it didn't win best foreign film. But I hadn't seen the other nominated ones. I just wanted it to be recognized for something
