The movie Waltz with Bashir was extremely confusing; perhaps it was because we skipped some parts or because there were so many characters, but I was struggling to really understand the concept behind it. I enjoyed it for its message and themes and the story line in general was interesting but it did not hold my attention very well. I gathered that the Israel army was protecting Lebanon from Palestine and that inside of that conflict the Lebanon Christian Army’s leader Bashir was killed and that led to the massacres of Shatila and Sabra. The Israel army then told them to stop though they took no action and therefore they cleaned their hands of the situation. I could be totally wrong in that summary and if I am please someone correct me!! Lol!! But I did enjoy the ending where it was live action and you could really appreciate the situation for what it really was. Those women were so heartbroken and it could have all been stopped if someone would have acted. That is one of the downfalls of society today as a whole, the inability to act when the time is right. It seems that so many conflicts could have been ended sooner or avoided all together is someone would have acted when the problem arose and acted in the correct manner.
