Waltz with Bashir
by Ari Folman.
I always thought the only thing that is holding documentaries from being highly popular is that they rely on the availability of filmed footage of the events. One of the main reasons I think Hollywood productions are so popular is because they offer a detailed and real presentation of the way the story in the film really looks like.
The "Animated Documentary" genre is free of this difficulty.
Last week I went to see the first-of-it's-kind "Animated Documentary" movie "Waltz with Bashir". The movie is all animated, but only to show realty as it was in the absence of the necessary footage.
In my opinion one of the best outcomes is that for the first time I watched a documentary that was able to portrait the dreams and thoughts of it's characters. Ironically, this actually feels like a more real and authentic documentary.
This movie is good for more reasons. Other than the great editing and soundtrack, the story is interesting. It shows some of the not-popular aspects of the non-consensus "Lebanon War" - mostly regarding the unfortunate Sabra and Shatila massacre.
My bottom line - I recommend you to watch it.

the time being
via Overheard in New York:
Mother pleading with squirmy four-year-old son in tight jacket: Just keep it on for the time being.
Son: I hate the time being.
--Christmas Mass, St Patrick's

Real Love
by The Beatles.
All my little plans and schemes lost like some forgotten dreams.
Seems that all I really was doing was waiting for you.
Just like little girls and boys playing with their little toys,
Seems like all they really were doing was waiting for love.
Don't need to be alone, no need to be alone -
It's real love, it's real, yes it's real love, it's real.
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go.
Seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
Don't need to be afraid, no need to be afraid -
It's real love, it's real, yes it's real love, it's real.
Thought I'd been in love before but in my heart, I wanted more.
Seems like all I really was doing was waiting for you.
Don't need to be alone
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love.

Moon River
by Audrey Hepburn.
The first (and last) time I watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was just a year ago. I was in a very unique place in my life, and was easily moved by this great movie. For a very long time I didn't stop singing this song in my head, and at times, when I didn't pay enough attention, out loud.
"Moon River, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me."
