2What people say
Scary. If they want to kill you they will. You could be anywhere , anytime . And they do that like kids playing dystopian video games. Alll they see is a digital puppet falling. No human interaction, not enemies in a battlefield . The human cost of the war is only borne by the dead. It’s a play for those who kill . The dystopia is here .
A damning and incredibly haunting look into the mechanics of the Israeli war machine and their systematic displacement/murder of innocents. How those pushing the buttons justify it to themselves, taking comfort in being cogs in a wheel that will find someone else to turn it if they don’t. Bone-chilling stuff. Revealing about how governments can exploit us psychologically to commit horrendous atrocities, made easier by our ability to hide behind screens and tech. There’s nowhere to hide from the truth that comes out in this film. No manipulation of narrative-crafting needed by the filmmakers.Abraham and Szor find something cinematic in these images overlooking Tel-Aviv at night. Watching people comfortable in their homes as soldiers discuss destroying homes in Gaza. Shielded by the propaganda on their televisions.
