An animated anti-war documentary... don't think i've ever said that before. Can you really show the truth and ruthlessness of war through animation? wouldn't the animation just remove the idea of war even further from reality?
It was quite a brave movie to make. but it worked. After the movie i thought hard about why it had worked so well.. war seemed more truthfully nightmarish in this realistic animation then it ever has in filmed live action documentaries.
As the film maker searches for his hidden memoires of war, i thought animation is certainly the closest anyone could come to seeing into his thoughts. I imagine that any memories of war would have to be be painted with a pallet far removed from reality, how else could anyone cope with them?
