Lebanon was technically very well done (acting, cinematography, sound design) but when it comes to "the point" I agree with you 100%. There wasn't one. And given the inability of Israeli filmmakers to take a 30,000 ft view, that's a good thing. Israeli movies are getting better but still are not great. Avoid Amos Gitai movies at all costs. What a waste of talent.

You seem to think the end of serious film is propaganda. Gitai is a brilliant auteur. - tinear 08:50:41 05/21/12 (1)
He is critical of his country, Israel, as are many good Israelis. Gitai's father was a victim of Hitler's intellectual purges and was forced to flee.

- You're probably referring to this Gitai film - Jazz Inmate 06:19:55 05/22/12 (0)
  Kadosh? Kippur? Don't you think it's weird that the only enemy you ever see in Gitai films are other Israelis? Even Lebanon showed that not to be the case.
