When I learned that the movie was animated, I thought that the movie would not be very good because I don't really watch those types of films. I believe the goal for the film is to portray what happened in the invasion of Lebanon through the use of animation. War and traumatic events are two very horrifying matters to talk about or even imagine. I think that the film maker used animation so that the movie could seem less serious and allow the audience to visualize and see what happened.
At first, I was really confused about what was happening in the movie. As the movie went on, I began to realize what the purpose of the movie is. One scene that stood out to me was with the soldier who was in the tank, and his commander was shot in the neck. After the commander got shot, there was just a moment of nothing but fear. I tried to imagine myself in the soldier who was supposed to be second in command's shoes. I would have probably responded exactly the same as he did. I would have been just as petrified. After the tank got hit and all the soldiers tried to get away dodging bullets, I realized how much the animation helped with the scene. Imagining that scene with real people is terrifying. Having a less intense animation scene helped bring down the seriousness of that scene.
