Incendies

This was probably the most emotional and traumatic film I’ve watched. My dad lived during the Civil War portrayed in this movie, he saw a lot of things he wishes he didn’t and still brings it up and talks about it to this day. He has his own story and view, I don’t necessarily agree with it but I still understand that he personally lived this and I didn’t. We disagree a lot when it comes to these opposing views and in a way I feel connected to Nawal being a Christian Lebanese woman who is avidly supporting the “opposing” stance in this current era of war. This film hit deep in my soul knowing that it connects to me in a roundabout way.
