Bu film haqqında

At 28, Yariv Mozer is suddenly drafted as a soldier in the Second Lebanese War between Lebanon and Israel. Instinctively, he grabs his video camera and threads a shoelace through the handle, securing it around his neck and next to his rifle. As the days drag by, he begins to realize how unplanned the war is and how each of the those who serve and survive pay a price. This is his personal earthquake and the nation of Israel's as a whole.

I would say that this film's excellence is that it really brings you into the IN VIVO experience of warfare. I particularly like the narration and the narrator does an excellent job, always enhancing rather than distracting from the visual. It neither glorifies war - the opposite as shown by the quotation by poet Wilfred Owen, at the beginning warning against encouraging children to believe in the glory of giving your life for your country; nor does it delve into politics, again, in the way that real military experience occurs - you wanna do your job; and you wanna save your ass and those of your comrades, and not always in that order. A true slice of life, a real "Reality Show" - real Realism - Bravo on such an achievement, from my point of view.
