I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

That was an excellent one.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This was a film featured in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, I assumed it was something to do with war from the picture and DVD cover I saw, but either way it was an Israeli film I looked forward to trying. Basically it is set in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War between Egypt and Syria, specifically the Day of Atonement, the countries launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights, and the story is told from the point of view of the Israeli soldiers. Leading the audience into the story and the quiet city streets are friends Weinraub (Liron Levo) and Ruso (Tomer Russo), and through their journey during the war they, along with other soldiers, witness mass death, destruction and devastation both in their minds and on the surface. Also starring Uri Ran Klauzner as Klausner, Yoram Hattab as The Pilot and Juliano Merr- Khamis as The Captain. The film is not a traditional war movie with blood, guts and glory, there are many scenes full of surrealism and sequences that give you an insight into the effects a war can cause, whether it be with the graphic and repetitive imagery or with the intriguing use of sound, it may not be the most gripping of films, but is an interesting enough war drama based on a true story. Worth watching!

While I can appreciate the message that the director was trying to get through with this movie, while watching I was constantly reminded of how boring the movie was, and how I could be doing something better than watching it, for instance, watching fish in a tank.The camera work was bad, the story... what story? And the little character development that was there didn't make any impression on me at all.Being from Israel myself, I had very high hopes for this movie, but Gitai flat-out blew it.Back to the point of the movie - I believe it was trying to portray how war is terrible, especially for the common soldier. However, Gitai failed on all accounts: firstly, the viewer never feels sorry for the main characters, because they're never in danger and never lose anyone they really care about. Secondly, in his crusade to portray war as terrible, he completely destroys the image of the Israeli army. Thirdly, and this is probably the most important, the main characters (Russo and Weinrub) don't die, but return home safely. It's as if, right at the end, Gitai spit on his message, and decided to create a new one: nightmares happen, but eventually they're over and life returns to the way it used to be.Whatever you do, don't see this movie. Not only is it bad, but it's also plain boring. Movies are meant for entertainment, or for provoking thought, or both. This film provides neither.

Kippur (2000) Directed by Amos Gitai Starring: Liron Levo, Tomer Russo, Uri Klausner, Yoram Hattab, and Guy Amir ***1/2 out of 5 starsForgive me if I see the good in everything, but I believe that this Israel film, which features excruciatingly long takes and little dialogue, DOES have some deep significance. However, the long takes ARE draining, yet when you realize the purpose, it all seems to make sense.Based on Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai's personal experiences in the Yom Kippur war in 1973, in which Egyptian and Syrian forces attacked Israel on their holy day of Yom Kippur, "Kippur" follows a search and rescue team of four people as they travel by helicopter to different war-torn areas to find as many people alive as possible and bring them to some sort of safety and medical treatment. The film begins with two characters, Ruso (Yes, Russo) and Weinraub (Levo), who find themselves abruptly trying to get into a war. One of the characters (Ruso, I believe) is eager to get to the battlefront, proclaiming that a war has finally reached their generation and that "it is ours!". You must understand that Israel has been going through a war at least once, if not twice a decade. So, war, to the naive, inexperience individual, seems like a rite of passage.Ruso and Weinraub, after awkwardly entering the front lines and being told to go back as shells are heard closeby, stop on the side and meet up with Gadassi (Amir), a medical officer trying to find a ride to the mission briefing. When they finally get to the battlefield to start the search and rescue, you soon find out that the film is about the death, detachment, and irrationality of war. What began as a rite of passage for the characters ended up being a strange, tortured nightmare. They go from area to area finding amputees and dead soldiers, usually unable to help all and having to leave much of the bodies on the battlefield. One torturous take follows the four characters as they try to help a soldier, who is hurt and obviously alive, out of a big field of mud. As they fall and slip, the soldier's body is thrown around, unintentionally carelessly. The frustration takes over one of the soldiers helping him as he breaks down in the middle of the mud and the doctor is going back and forth trying to calm the panicking soldier and help the injured one. When they finally make it to some other officers waiting for them to take the soldier away, he is already dead and the helplessness on the soldier's muddy faces says it all.This film can be and will be very draining for most viewers. The long takes and the often far away framing distances ourselves from the action and you should soon learn to explore and examine what Gitai is trying to convey through the characters' stories. The film DOES build up to a briefly explosive climax, which poetically brings everything full circle for the soldiers. "Kippur" is a difficult film appropriate for its difficult subject. It is also daring, unwavering in its message, and, most importantly, truthful to the nonsense that war really is.

This movie doesn't provide much of a context for understanding either the war itself, nor the characters it follows. Characterization should be key in a piece like this, which dwells more on the (in)humanity of war than the action, but Kippur features a level of character development that wouldn't pass muster in a low-grade action flick: you're essentially following around a chopper full of ciphers as they pick up dead and wounded and suffer nervous breakdowns along the way.
