一部以色列导演拍的反战动画纪录片, 看到画面第一印象是想起采用类似rotoscoping技术的片子A Scanner Darkly, 只是Waltz的题材要沉重得多.

故事缘起以色列老兵(导演Ari Floman) 为了寻找19岁那年在黎巴嫩战争中缺失的记忆而踏上解谜之路. 从心理医生到昔日战友, 大家口中的过去, 不是失神般的茫然便是现实和梦幻交缠 — 也许战争本身就是超越现实的存在.

当人面对无法承受之痛苦时, “逃避”应该是最自然的反应吧. 主角脑海中那段空白的过去作为逃避的结果 也不难理解. 

其中让人揪心的描述之一, 是关于某业余摄影师的故事. 他从修罗场中奇迹地熬过来了, 因为他曾说服自己眼前的残酷景象不过是镜头中的构图, 也唯有这样做他才能有勇气活下去. 直到一天痛苦超出了极限, 穿过镜头 在死亡的眼中他看到自己的倒影. 他才终于崩溃.

虽然画面偶有粗糙之处, 从把握叙事的整体节奏来看我觉得Waltz with Bashir相当完美.
战争题材 原来也用不着一味”理性”和”沉重”到底的.


“I Bombed Beirut” by Zeev Tene
改编自Cake的旧曲 “I Bombed Korea”. 阳光, 海滩, 热血士兵高歌”我今天轰炸了贝鲁特”, 是最充满黑色幽默的一幕.

原声主刀是来自德国的电子音乐人Max Ritcher (记忆中他似乎很少为电影作配乐).
配乐中混杂了rock, 古典, ambient和电子等不同元素, 却没有突兀的感觉.
尤其是开场二十六只狗在城市暴走那段配乐 非常有冲击力. (试听见后)

指挥官Frankle在枪林弹雨中以重机枪跳出的华尔兹, 作为点题, 也是片中(我认为)最浪漫的一刻.
…最接近生命尽头那种绚丽的浪漫.

新年打开电视, 新闻上还是充斥以巴冲突的消息.
二十年, …抑或二千年, 这种残酷愚昧的游戏还在无奈地继续…

 

新年愿望, 虽然有点点老套:
Peace no war.
