Sex & Nudity
-
- A soldier watches porn on his tv, the woman is seen fully nude several times, and a man takes off his clothes and thrusts(For a few seconds we can completely see the intercourse.). A soldier has a dream about a giant naked woman coming out of the ocean to rescue him, this dream foreshadows what happens in the next scene. A man has a recurring dream about 3 soldiers coming out of the ocean naked, with penises and some pubic hair seen from a distance view due to the placement of the shot.
Violence & Gore
-
- A particularly frightening scene shows the after effects of the massacre with decayed and bloody bodies piled.
- There is plenty of animated bloodshed, with explicit detail on impact in most instances. Here is what I remember the most: A man is cruising in an open roof tank in a seemingly relaxed area, and then it goes into a side shot, so you see the impact of a bullet hitting him in the neck with blood spurting from the wound. As they go into the cockpit of the tank to help him, blood is coming up his mouth and his clothes are very bloody.
- You see terrorists drive through a town that the soldiers are laying low in, and riddling dozens of rounds into several soldiers, with visible blood spurt and smudge on the walls.
- A child fires a rocket, and then the soldiers kill him. You see blood on his clothes and the ground.
- It's implied that a man was killing guard dogs because he couldn't kill people, and in one instance you see and hear gunfire and see some possible blood, but the scene is set at night.
- During the Sabra and Shatila massacre, from a zoomed out shot, you see Phalangists line up refugees against the wall and fire several rounds into them, blood smudges on the walls.
- A Phalangist takes a refugee inside a building, and fires a shot. You don't see any blood, but he makes a sign with his hands that means he most likely killed the refugee execution style.
- There are several explosions and plenty of exchanged gunfire. The title comes from a scene where a soldier fires his gun in the air while he dodges bullets in the style of a Waltz with a poster of Bashir towering behind him.
- The film ends with actual news footage of the aftermath of the Sabra and Shatila massacre. This segment is both un-animated and un-staged, featuring extremely graphic clips of real dead bodies.
Profanity
-
- Contains two uses of coarse language (i.e. "fuck").
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- In one scene, two characters appear to share a joint. Another character smokes a joint later in the film.
- Contains some casual drinking and smoking throughout the film.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- People may find the animation weird and creepy.
- There are strong war themes, particularly dealing with trauma and collateral damage. Particularly of note is the final unedited live action footage mentioned in the Violence and Gore section.
