Beaufort (2007)
Member Rating:  
The title of Joseph Cedar's war drama Beaufort refers to the name of a fortress held by Israeli troops, during that country's contentious occupation of Lebanon from 1982-2000 -- an effort that Israel roundly lost. The film itself opens at the tail end of that occupation. It follows Liraz Liberti, the then-22-year-old leader of troops occupying Beaufort, as he and his subordinates come face to face with the necessity of withdrawal. As enemy fire bombards the fortress, Liraz recognizes that it will be necessary to evacuate, obliterating the structure that his men have spent two decades defending. Oshri Cohen, Itay Tiran, Eli Eltonyo, and Ohad Knoller co-star. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    This movie is about soldiers fighting a war whose original justification is long forgotten. It is not a typical war movie. Not a single shot is fired by the soldiers and the enemy is never seen, only its shells keep pounding the outpost. It is about the soldiers themselves, 19 and 20 years old, commanded by a 22 year old officer. Although it deals with Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, I am sure past and present US soldiers who fought in Vietnam and are fighting in Iraq will identify with it. The soldiers are told their mission is important, but they also know the Israeli pull out from Lebanon is imminent, and they do not understand why they are still asked to sacrifice their lives to defend an outpost they are about to destroy soon. They come from different backgrounds and have different political views but they all have one common wish, to return home alive. Good acting and very realistic scenes. Highly recommended.

    Be aware that this is a sub - titled (Israeli) movie but be assured that it is worth watching if you like war movies.It gives insight on what soldiers at remote sites must go through both mentally and physically John H
