Review of Lebanon

Lebanon (2009)
10/10
The greatest war movie ever made.
21 January 2011
i watched this not knowing what to expect and was blown away by this film. I have seen many many war films in my life but this is by far the most emotional. It brought me to tears several times though out the movie, which is unusual for me. The presentation in this is superb, which shouldn't be hard since 90% all the shots in the movie take place from within the tank. Everything is seen with the most meticulous detail and everything seems authentic. Much of the tension in the film arise from how each character is interacting with the environment and the other characters. All of the acting is completely believable but its story is the strongest point of all. without spoiling anything i can just recommend this to anyone who loves emotionally deep war dramas that exhibit the duality of each man's psyche in the most stressful situation imaginable. There is no doubt in my mind this will be hailed for years as a masterpiece in filmmaking completely deserving an Oscar win for "Best foreign film".

10/10 Sincerely a video store clerk
