尼古拉·齐奥塞斯库的自传 (2010) 豆瓣
Autobiografia lui Nicolae Ceauşescu
其它标题: Autobiografia lui Nicolae Ceauşescu / 尼可拉赛欧雪斯古的传记
"After all, a dictator is simply an artist who is able to fully put into practice his egotism. It is a mere question of aesthetic level, whether he turns out to be Baudelaire or Bolintineanu, Louis XVI or Nicolae Ceausescu." Andrei Ujica. From a formal point of view, The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu proves that it is possible to only use existing images to yield films focused on recent history, yet with an epic vein similar to that of the historical fiction cinema - such as, most notably, the ample period pieces dedicated by American cinema to the Vietnam War generation. This is an eminently syntactic endeavor, where montage plays a twofold part: mise-en-scene, as it builds scenes that do not exist as such in the rushes, and classical editing, connecting scenes together. We may be witnessing the birth of a new film genre.

Lebanon - Borders of Blood (2020) 豆瓣
导演: Duki Dror
The story of Lebanon is one of ongoing tragedy. A march of follies orchestrated by heads of state, sects, and militias. The Palestinians, French, British, Iranians, Syrians, Americans, Israelis and the Lebanese themselves, have all, at one point or another, contributed to the country's tragic history. Caught up in the chaos were the Lebanese themselves - made up of different sects, religions, and ethnicities - writing their own history in a string of political assassinations, massacres, and betrayals.

以色列人犯渾的帳果然還是要以色列人自己來算,全方位的挖掘深究。信息量過大以及過於沉重,才拖到現在才看完… 大概是以色列角度最完整的關於黎巴嫩(之於以色列)的敘述。採訪對象也全都是重量級,再次感謝編劇和Kan11🙏
2021年8月21日 评论 לבנון - הסיפור של לבנון, הוא סיפור על יהירות ובורות, על פנטזיות של שליטה. סיפור על שאיפה לכוח, ועל מנהיגים שלא יודעים את מגבלות הכוח. הנוצרים, השיעים, הדרוזים, הישראלים, הסורים והפלסטינים, כל צד מספר לעצמו סיפור שונה. כל צד, השלה את עצמו, שהוא ישליט סדר חדש בלבנון, וכל ניסיון הפך למלכודת דם.

王者比比 (2018) 豆瓣
King Bibi
导演: Dan Shadur 演员: 阿隆·阿布布尔 / 本雅明·内塔尼亚胡
其它标题: King Bibi / Kung Bibi
《世界總理 國王畢比》是第一部以納坦雅胡為對象的紀錄片,關於他的崛起之路,與美國和川普總統的深厚關係,以及他對自身形象和媒體的偏執癡迷,而這很有可能會是他最終垮台的原因。

1月9日,《世界總理 國王畢比》(King Bibi)成為Yes Docu上收視率最高的紀錄片。
自從2018年7月在耶路撒冷電影節上首映以來,《世界總理 國王畢比》已經成為年度最受爭議的作品。紀錄片拍攝以色列這位最具爭議性人物別出心裁的手法,引發該國政治光譜兩端的人馬紛紛現身評論。 這部影片引起以色列各大媒體(黃金時段電視節目、廣播、平面和數字媒體)的關注,甚至連納坦雅胡總理本人也都提到了這部紀錄片。
隨著4月9日以色列大選的腳步接近,針對納坦雅胡的刑事調查也如火如荼,有人說《畢比國王》極有可能會左右大選結果。凡是想要了解以色列和它過去二十年來的領導人,本片是一部不容錯過的作品。

唐納·川普令人大開眼界的前二十年,班傑明·納坦雅胡已經深知與媒體維繫毒性關係,同時與公眾直接溝通所帶來的政治利益。
《世界總理 國王畢比》完全仰賴納坦雅胡多年來面對媒體的檔案影片,探索他的崛起之路:從他早年深受美國電視台歡迎的客座專家身份,到公開自己的不倫戀情,以及他對社群媒體藝術的嫻熟專精。
在穿梭各大攝影棚的過程中,「畢比」從以色列高人氣的政治希望,脫胎成為一名飽受爭議的人物。有些人視他為以色列的救世主;有些則而認為他是一個機關算盡,不惜一切代價來鞏固權力的政客。

══國際媒體評論══
「對以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡在媒體上脫胎換骨的過程,有著深刻的見解。」
《華盛頓郵報》
「畢比國王的稱號,加上導演丹·沙杜爾的巧妙引用,傳神呼應本片關於納坦雅胡對媒體偏執癡迷的觀點。」 《紐約時報》

══以色列媒體評論══
「這是一部耐人尋味的紀錄片,但說我通過巫術控制人民絕對是無稽之談。」 班傑明·納坦雅胡
「這部紀錄片探討了納坦雅胡與媒體的關係。」第12頻道新聞(以色列最受好評的新聞節目)
「根據他從觀看《畢比國王》中學到的東西,脫口說出十分鐘的獨白。」 Lior Schlein(以色列《每日秀》)
「看到這樣一部優雅的紀錄片處理我們這裡最炙手可熱的主題,真是令人震驚。絕對不容錯過……任何自認對納坦雅胡無所不知的人,都須要看《畢比國王》。」 《Timeout》
「……對以色列最富爭議人物一次極為公允和誠實的描述…… 大家真的必須看看《畢比國王》。」《國土報》
「震撼人心的體驗……,令人著迷且富有啟發性。」Walla(以色列最多人瀏覽的網站)
「深刻、迷人、令人不安」Mako(以色列最多人看的電視頻道)

今年正好10週年,感覺可以出續集了,el-Sisi都上台6年半了。最近一次大規模protest應該是2019年年底要推翻el-Sisi吧(之後covid耽擱了)。雖然protestors知道自己的期望和訴求,但權力什麼的還是無法避免落到那些別有用心的boomer政客們手裡。十年過去,權力交替從Mubarak到軍政府到穆兄會(Morsi)到軍政府(el-Sisi),中間經歷那麼多protests,那麼多傷亡,到頭來發現沒太大區別…

What If? Ehud Barak on War and Peace (2020) 豆瓣
导演: Ran Tal 演员: Ehud Barak
其它标题: Ma Haya Kore Elu? Ehud Barak al Milchama VeShalom
Can a leader succeed in influencing the world? Or is he, as any other human being, only a nutshell tossed to the waves of history with no ability to affect it? Tolstoy pondered this question in War and Peace. Ehud Barak, controversial former prime minister and a decorated commander on the battlefield, contemplates it in this film. Twenty years after he was forced to resign from the premiership due to the failure of the 2000 Camp David summit, 78-year-old Barak observes his own history and the history of the State of Israel with disillusioned clarity, while trying to figure it all out - "What if?"

「JerusalemFF2020」一直覺得Barak是個存在感不太強的PM,可能是年代比較久,我還沒記憶,印象中第一個PM就已經是Sharon了⋯ 對他唯一的了解就是撤軍黎巴嫩和都offer了半個耶路撒冷給Arafat了還是被拒以及後續的1st intifada。
第一次了解了他原來經歷了那麼多,基本建國以來全套大事件都經歷了。然後發現也挺喜歡他的personality的,說話也非常有意思,片子最後還引用了「浮士德」結尾。決定也去讀一下他自己寫的自傳。

Golda (2019) 豆瓣
导演: Sagi Bornstein / Udi Nir
Shortly before her passing, Golda Meir was interviewed for Israeli television. After shooting ended, the cameras kept rolling, recording an intimate talk with the first and only woman to ever rule Israel. As she lit one cigarette after the other, Golda spoke freely, pleading her case for her term as Prime Minister – five turbulent years that secured her place in history, albeit at a high personal cost.
Based on these never-before seen materials, testimonies of supporters and opponents and rare archival footage, GOLDA tells the story of Meir’s dramatic premiership – from her surprising rise to power and iconic international stature as “queen of the Jewish people”, to her tragic and lonely demise.

导演: Ilan Rubin Fields 演员: Meir Kahane
其它标题: הנביא כהנא
Rabbi Meir Kahane began his career in the USA, where he founded the Jewish Defense League. As the league’s violent activities turned into terrorism, he was forced to leave America. In Israel, he became the most radical politician the state has ever known. He united the right and the left against him, and was banned by the media. Today, thirty years after he was barred from Israeli parliament, Kahanism has seeped into Israeli society, and Kahane’s prophecy about the divide between Judaism and democracy is echoed in the halls of the Knesset.

On October 14, 2014 the two Eastern European countries of Albania and Serbia faced off on the soccer field in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. With Albanian fans not permitted to attend the game due to purported safety concerns, the stadium full of Serbian fans echoed racist chants and death threats. Tensions rose to a boil when a drone carrying an Albanian flag flew above the players and onto the pitch. Angered fans rushed the field, attacking the Albanian players, forcing the match to end. A history of political tensions, war and genocide is explored as we follow the journey of the Albanian National Team to their first EURO cup appearance.

Menachem Begin 豆瓣
作者: Daniel Gordis Schocken 2014 - 3
Reviled as a fascist by his great rival Ben-Gurion, venerated by Israel’s underclass, the first Israeli to win the Nobel Peace Prize, a proud Jew but not a conventionally religious one, Menachem Begin was both complex and controversial. Born in Poland in 1913, Begin was a youthful admirer of the Revisionist Zionist Ze’ev Jabotinsky and soon became a leader within Jabotinsky’s Betar movement. A powerful orator and mesmerizing public figure, Begin was imprisoned by the Soviets in 1940, joined the Free Polish Army in 1942, and arrived in Palestine as a Polish soldier shortly thereafter. Joining the underground paramilitary Irgun in 1943, he achieved instant notoriety for the organization’s bombings of British military installations and other violent acts.
Intentionally left out of the new Israeli government, Begin’s right-leaning Herut political party became a fixture of the opposition to the Labor-dominated governments of Ben-Gurion and his successors, until the surprising parliamentary victory of his political coalition in 1977 made him prime minister. Welcoming Egyptian president Anwar Sadat to Israel and cosigning a peace treaty with him on the White House lawn in 1979, Begin accomplished what his predecessors could not. His outreach to Ethiopian Jews and Vietnamese “boat people” was universally admired, and his decision to bomb Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981 is now regarded as an act of courageous foresight. But the disastrous invasion of Lebanon to end the PLO’s shelling of Israel’s northern cities, combined with his declining health and the death of his wife, led Begin to resign in 1983. He spent the next nine years in virtual seclusion, until his death in 1992. Begin was buried not alongside Israel’s prime ministers, but alongside the Irgun comrades who died in the struggle to create the Jewish national home to which he had devoted his life. Daniel Gordis’s perceptive biography gives us new insight into a remarkable political figure whose influence continues to be felt both within Israel and throughout the world.

這本書的長度有點尷尬,Begin那些經歷寫傳記的話300多頁大概只夠開個頭,但300多頁也不算是簡介,所以大事件都有提到,然而深度不夠,愉快地讀完後發現在insight上沒什麼新收穫,而且作者的文風一看就是個和我一樣堅信『工黨誤國』的人(除了作者還religious,我不),所以連vision上都沒有變得更diverse一點… 還引用那麼多Yehuda Avner的話,那我直接去看Avner的書不就好了…

A Line in the Sand 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: James Barr Simon & Schuster Ltd 2011 - 8 其它标题: A Line in the Sand: Britain, France and the Struggle that Shaped the Middle East
In the twentieth century, while fighting a common enemy in Europe, Britain and France were locked in a clandestine struggle for power in the Middle East. From the first agreement to divide the region between them to the birth of Israel, A Line in the Sand is a gripping narrative of the last gasp of imperialism, with tales of unscrupulous double-dealing, cynical manipulation, and all-too-frequent violence that continues to the present day.
