Will win - Departures should win - Waltz with Bashir Another great foreign film from 2008 that was not nominated - Taare Zameen Par - Nomination from India - a lovely story about a dyslexic kid.
Will win: Waltz with Bashir Should win: The Class The buzz has been deafening for Ari Folman's one-of-a-kind Waltz with Bashir, an animated documentary about the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon; some might find the subject matter a little tough to take, but the film's contemporary resonance should put it over the top. The Class is about a year in the life of a French inner-city classroom -- it's another superb effort by director Laurent Cantet, who specializes in tales of modern society in breakdown. Should've been nominated - I've Loved You So Long while it was never actually submitted for the prize -- France instead opted for The Class as its official selection.
Lead actress Kristin Scott-Thomas deserved a nomination, too for this movie.
Waltz with Bashir, Israel, will win. Departures, Japan, should win.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
