לפני מספר ימים, התפנה לי חלון לפרמיירה של 2 הפרקים הראשונים של הסדרה פאודה בסינמטק ירושלים.
אנשים חייכו, מחאו כפיים, והתעניינו.

אך העניין, אינו בזה.

לאחר צפיית הפרקים, התחיל פאנל.

פנאל כמו כל פאנל שבמהלכו נותנים לצופים לשאול מספר שאלות אצל יוצרי הסדרה ולאחר מכן, כל אחד הולך לדרכו לשלום.
האומנם, ברגע אחד קמה אישה, ובנחמדות רבה שאלה:

האם אפשר במקום שאלה לומר מספר מחמאות.

אני אישית במחשבה הראשונית שלי שמחתי לראות שלמישהי יש חשק בעניינים, לשתף את חוויותיה, את ההרגשות, המחשבות.
בין הדברים הראשונים שנאמרו על ידה, הסכמתי יותר מתמיד, על הדבר הבא:

קולנוע, ובכללי כל יצירה, היא תמיד אספקט אשר חזק יותר מכל פוליטיקאי או אג׳נדה.
וזו גם לדעתי האמת, כי היצירה משלבת בין כל קצוות העולם, משגעת, מרגיע, מפרקת ומחברת.
היא אף פעם לא חד משמעית, אבל תמיד יש לה קול ברור שמגיע להביא צליל שונה וייחודי.

אותה האישה הוסיפה עוד מספר דברים, ולאט לאט הרגשתי איך העיניים שלה בוערות בכנות ובאמת שהיא רוצה לומר.

ממונולוג רגיל, הגענו לשיחה בעלת גיוון לרוח הפריימריה הקטנה.

היא אמרה לנו כיצד חשוב לאחד אנשים, מכל הרקעים המשונים, כי זה בדיוק הזמן להתעורר, לתת לאמת לחדור לפנים, כי כולנו בני אדם, כולנו שווים וצריכים לעזור זה לזה.

לפתע, היא ציינה כי היא אימו של ליעם בור גלאון הי"ד,
אחד מחללי מסיבת הנובה.

הרגע הזה, שינה מיד את כל רוח השיחה, ורק לטובה.
הוא הוסיף לשיחה יותר אישיות, פרסונליות, ומהות לאור הפרקים והאירועים שבהם.

לדבריה של אימא של ליעם יש יותר מפרספקטיבה, יש בהם תקווה, אמת.

באותו הערב ראינו בה לא רק את הכאב, אלא את הרצון להמשיך לחיות, לקוות לטוב, והכי חשוב לעשות ולהאמין באותו הטוב.

שמחתי מאוד לשמוע ולגלות את סיפורה, לראות את האינטליגנציה הרגשית הגבוהה שלה, יחד עם ניצוץ של חיים בעיניה.

אני הייתי אותו החייל שישב מספר שורות קדימה, שהקשיב באהבה וחיוך רחב לדבריה.
דבריה שהסתכמו בסופו של דבר בחיוך ומבט ישיר אליי, עם המשפט ״תודה לך״, שכנראה הופנה אליי.
ואני עם חיוך נבוך עשיתי תנועת תודה עם הראש.
וזה בדיוק מסכם את כל מה שהיא אמרה במונולוג שלה, אהבת האחר וקבלת האחר.

היא לא יודעת מה אני עושה בצה״ל או כמה זמן אני במערכת, אבל היא נתנה אות הערכה, שכלל לא מובנת מאליו, אות שמסמלת את הערכיות והנכונות בכל מילותיה.

שום דבר בשיחה ובפרימיירה הזו לא היה מובן מאליו, ולראות אותה ואת כל שאר האנשים חרט רק טוב יותר על הלב.

בתחילה חשבתי, אולי לשים זאת באנונימי, כי בכל זאת לא רוצה שאנשים יחשבו שהנגשתי את הטקסט הזה בשביל מטרה מסוימת.

אך בסופו של דבר הבנתי שאני זה אני, ולהיות אותנטי צריך להיות עד הסוף.

ליעם ללא ספק גאה בך על העשיה והרצון הטוב, כי כזו את, אותנטית ואמיתית.

Yuji Ohno was best known for composing the music for the anime franchise Lupin the Third, including its jazz themes and soundtracks.
He was a legendary Japanese composer, arranger, and pianist whose music became deeply associated with the series for decades.

חברההה,
סוף סוף קניתי כרטיסים ליפן באוקטובר.

ועכשיו אתחיל לתכנן מקומות ומסלולים שיספיקו לכחודש.

מה העצות הכי חשובות שלדעתכם אני חייב לדעת, ושנית אילו מקומות וערים אסור לי לפספס בשום פנים ואופן?

לאור כל המתרחש, למי אתם תצביעו ולמה?
כאשר אותו האדם או המפלגה יזכו ברוב, מה לדעתכם הם יעשו ביום שאחרי הבחירות?

An Aboriginal and two young European people meet each other in the middle of the vastness of Australia.

But what can this meeting lead them to?

Walkabout is a ritual accepted among Australian Aboriginal people. The meaning of this ritual is to let a teenager go free, forcing him to understand what adult life is.

For this, he is left alone in the desert so that he tries to survive by his own strength.

It is ironic that at the same time this ritual also happens with our main characters, who got into it not completely by their own will.

A young girl and her younger brother, together with their father, went on a small picnic somewhere in the hot desert of Australia.

Yet at one moment everything suddenly changed.

Their father took out his hidden weapon and began shooting at them, trying to finish them faster and more precisely.

In horror, understanding the whole situation, the sister immediately took her younger brother away.

The brother realized nothing, because he thought that it was a game that his dad decided to play with him.

They both began to hide and move further until they heard the sound of a shot and an explosion from the car.

At one moment the sister left her younger brother behind a rock and went out herself to see what this dead silence was.

Raising her head, she saw that the car together with her father was forever gone.

Her father shot himself in the head, before that pouring gasoline on the car and setting it on fire.

Understanding this, without showing horror on her face, she realized that there would be no simple way out of this situation.

She immediately returned to her brother, taking what was necessary from what they had left.

The brother still did not fully understand what was happening, but she also did not.

Even though she understood that the father who tried to kill her was no longer there, she did not fully understand the thought of how they would get out to civilization from this moment.

Quickly thinking, she decided that there is only one route to go with.

Taking her younger brother, and just going where their eyes looked.

For days on end, they walked through the desert silence, their supplies were running out, and then, like an angel from the sky, a black boy appeared, who looked not like the others.

A boy speaking another language.

A boy who strangely stood out against their background, and that very boy turned out to be an Aboriginal.

Understanding that without him they would not survive long, he decides to take them with him on a journey that neither he nor they will ever forget.

So it happened that the two European children got into an Aboriginal ritual that gave them life.

The picture Walkabout is, perhaps, a quiet poetry about culture, nature, current civilization and the remains of the past.

The plot here is absolutely simple to understand.

But what marked it as an individual film is exactly its shooting.

Throughout the whole movie we are met with different locations, whether it is cities or desert nature with lizards and flying birds.

This film abstracts us from people, giving nature its strength, silently showing it as it is.

As the plot goes on, the camera shoots everything in some kind of cinematic, yet still simple format.

However, later, from the moment of meeting the Aboriginal, everything changes.

From the moment the Aboriginal character entered the story, we understand that if these two European children were forced by life to go through walkabout, then in his case walkabout is what his culture required, leading him to this event.

This very fact shows us the difference of the worlds from which these characters come.

If the two European children live in a civilization where everything has become so simple to obtain full comfort, then for the Aboriginal people everything is completely the opposite.

They know how to survive without food and water, how to get it, and how to see life with their own eyes, analyzing their journeys and decisions.

After meeting the Aboriginal, the picture slightly falls into the style of documentary shooting.

The camera runs and follows how the Aboriginal gets food.

We see how he runs after a kangaroo, quickly kills it and prepares it.

From this moment the culture of the Aboriginal and the Australian Europeans mix into one, creating a melting pot which leads them to mutual understanding with strong friendship without words.

Of course, each of them has different concepts of honor and code.

The way they look at life, and the way he looks, are absolutely opposite things.

Despite this, it did not prevent them from finding their understanding, understanding each other and helping with what each can.

This story, although short and silent, through its shooting tries to promote some other thoughts about civilization and the difference of cultures, rather than fully focusing on one.

In one of the scenes we see how our Aboriginal hunts to simply get himself food, as it is naturally embedded in his culture, which he knew all his life.

At the same moment ordinary people from a culture of the big city arrive and just start shooting many animals purely for their playful mood.

At that moment the camera focus shifts to our Aboriginal and shows us all the pain and misunderstanding of the actions of those men.

Here the creator of the film, despite the possibility of friendship between an Aboriginal person and a person from a more modern civilization.

The idea of the friendship breaks here in some way, telling us whether this friendship really makes sense, or is it simply an accident that should end soon?

Editing cuts, shooting, sounds, all this is quiet, yet when needed, massively used.

This specific moment strongly and quickly marks the whole difference, despite the closeness that we received throughout the whole picture.

This quiet journey with its different events clearly shows what the creators wanted to talk about and show, adding to all the living nature questions that are puzzled by what is the essence of a human?

How does a person change while living in another culture, and how does he adapt when meeting something unfamiliar to him?

For me, the element that will always become the strength of this whole movie is how simple and powerful the nature is shown here.

How it is shot, presenting its different corners.

How a person touches it by his own and not his own will.

How it changes, remaining at the same time the same as it was.

How with each landscape the terrain changes, constantly bringing something that is pleasant to look at.

To see a tree, full of the charms of nature, surrounded by water and parrots.

And on the other side an abandoned house of past civilization, covered by forgetfulness, but simultaneously by nature, which surrounds its old photographs of former residents, and how the whole room is full of darkness, yet through its openings a view full of sun and greenery jumps out, making the sun fall inside the building, creating naturally arranged shadows.

Walkabout is a serene, such a natural story, a picture of nature and different people.

It is about people passing through nature their path, differently and with different goals.

In the end, walkabout is the charm of the camera, which shows its charm through the correct shooting of nature.

Adding to this an intimate story about people and for people.

Despite the outcome, one thing I can say for sure.

Everyone who would live through it, although would look at it in their own perspective, still would never, never be able to forget it.

Because sometimes changes happen not where there are many cars, people and factories, but where there is no sign of the soul humanity brings, yet only the soul of life is set.
