Two of the best films I have watched this year remind me a great deal of each other. One of them is this film, Waltz with Bashir, and the other is Persepolis. Both are animated, both are biographical, and both are about living through war time experiences that make me grateful to have been born and raised somewhere else.

I have always been interested in history, and the stories that these two films tell are very insightful and most definitely held me in rapt attention. What surprised me about both of these films, though, was how completely drawn in I was by them as movies. The animation in both was very well done, as was the editing and sound. Very good flicks and very relevant storytelling. I highly recommend them both.
