The Scene That Stood Out: There were many scenes that most stood out to me in this movie. The beginning scene is one of them. It starts in a very peculiar way that grabs my attention. First one dog, then 3, and finally there's like 26. They are running like crazy and look very scary! My first reaction was "What in the world?!" Then it changes to a bar where two men are talking. This scene stands out to me because it draws you into the movie and makes you wonder what the movie is going to be about. It also caught me off guard because I didn't know the movie was going to be animated. It set the mood for the rest of the film and gave reason for it as well. The scene leads into the rest of the movie. It essentially sparks the plot.
Goals of the Film: The intentions of the film were kind of blurry to me. It did a great job of giving an example of post traumatic stress and the affects it has on an individual. The film could have also had the purpose of recalling the events of the Lebanon War and informing others of the events that took place. The film could also be representing one side of those involved in the war. On one side it could be against the actions that were taken by the Lebanese forces. These are the goals I took from what I got from the film.
Effect of the Animation: Again, I'm really unsure as to why the film would be all animated. This completely through me off, especially because of the topic it covered. To me it's as if it takes importance away from the film's topic. But there is another view. The confusion that comes from it being animated made me pay closer attention to what was going on and what was being said. The animation could have possibly had the purpose to draw in the viewer. A way of better informing them of the events and their importance.
