Yesterday morning I made my breakfast and sat down to watch a movie I've had for a while, but had yet to see. I started playing it and Mike joined in after watching only the first scene. Waltz with Bashir is an Israeli movie by Ari Folman depicting the Israeli-Lebanese war, mainly the Sabra and Shatila massacre that occurred in 1982.
The movie won a Golden Globe for best foreign film, and rightfully so. It's animated, but quite differently than the average animated film - you'll have to watch it to understand. From a Lebanese point of view, the film was neutral enough, though the Israelis were portrayed in a slightly better light than should be.
If you're looking for some insight into the conflict, or simply a good movie, I recommend you check this one out.
