Gideon Levy, Haaretz Correspondent: Gideon Levy / 'Antiwar' film Waltz with Bashir is nothing but charade
Talkback
Title:artistic vs ideological-pedagogical
Name:aroshka
City: State: france
Gideon Levy doesn`t understand what makes "Waltz" so powerful: it`s precisely because Folman stuck to a point of view, that of the soldiers. And we as an audience are well aware that this is just the young soldiers` point of view, and inside those apartments and camps are other people.
As Michael (#4)points out, what Gideon Levy is telling us is the movie he, Levy, would like to make: probably some dour, laboriously pedagogical set of images following a script that would be halfway between a newspaper column and a lecture.
