There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A film does not need to be long to make an impact. A film also does not have to be live action to make a lasting impression. This is what American filmmaker Nina Paley proves here with her work "This Land Is Mine". It is from 2012, so will have its 5th anniversary next year and it is an animated collection of important battles that mankind fought with each other. People with a bigger interest in history than myself will probably find the battle scenes much more interesting than I did, also with the cultures represented in there. But i mostly enjoyed the film for the ending, in which we see that Death is having one hell of a time (no pun intended!) with all the wars and how he keeps reaping corpses on a daily basis because of these. And the song we hear while the film goes on is pretty memorable as well. This was probably closer to a 4 stars out of 5 than to a 2 stars out of 5. I very much enjoyed the watch. Too bad those who really are concerned in here will most likely never see it. Don't protect your land! Protect your people!

I'm a fan of Nina Paley works, Sita Sings the Blues is one of my favourite films. This short movie kind of reminds me with its themes of the Pearl Jam animated video-clip Do the Evolution. Do the Evolution is more intense and raw, This Land Is Mine is more poetic and artsy, but I like them both. Although This Land Is Mine seems to be more about Israel specifically, I think we can transpose the message of the world in general too. Pat Boone's song, cover by Andy Williams, fit well the message. I didn't seen Exodus, where is song is took from, so I can't make comparisons. I could totally see this as a part of a bigger feature.
