History of Lebanon and Where Do We Go Now?

Ebert, Roger. “Women Conspiring to Save Their Men Movie Review (2012).” Women Conspiring to Save Their Men, 16 May 2012, www.rogerebert.com/reviews/where-do-we-go-now-2012. Accessed 03 Nov. 2024. 

Martha Wenger "Primer: Lebanon’s 15-Year War, 1975-1990," Middle East Report 162 (January/February 1990) 

Learning about Lebanon’s Civil War brings a ton of depth into Nadine Labaki’s Where Do We Go Now? While it was clear in the film that the plot revolved around a war focused on the battle of territorial groups, Muslims and Christians, it helps to know that this war felt never-ending to those in Lebanon. The film captures a setting in which we see what the women of the village do day to day to keep the men from fighting (and potentially murdering) each other. It’s a series of events that span from one day to the next, but it’s harder to imagine that they feel like this throughout the span of the war. I’d like to mention the intro of the film, where we see the women dressed in all black, cleaning the tombstones of their fallen soldiers. Even though this happened at the very start, I see it as something that could have taken place after the film. Where the women’s efforts weren’t enough to protect the men in their village. This makes much more sense in a realistic world where the war keeps going, and the natural human instinct in men never stops. That instinct being to eliminate the "dangers” of their territory. It’s quite interesting knowing that this very instinct is adapted into the ways of survival. Meaning that they can’t help it.  

Where Do We Go Now? Focuses on the recurring theme that no matter how identical you are to another person, no matter how well two parties get along, when you judge someone for who they are based on what outside sources are saying about their identity group, then they are COOKED! In Gen Z slang, being cooked means to be in a situation where you are done for, have no chance of regaining that once achieved status. In this case, if the men kept accusing each other of being a threat to their religion or their lives, then both sides, Christian and Muslim, would be done for. It’s an absurd idea that the two parties were at each other’s necks when the whole war never, or barely focused on the attack of beliefs, rather than the rich and poor divide. The unequal distribution of power, as said by Martha Wenger. Despite Muslims being the prominent population in Lebanon, they were taken for granted when “Christian political elites have resisted challenges to their power” (Wenger, 1990). The government and political power pointed the people against each other, and the men in the film unfortunately fell for it (except the priests, of course).

What did you like most about where do you go now? And what did you think of the lyrics??

oh my GOD. well i LOVE the instrumental opening idk why i wasn't expecting that at all but it's boppy in the beginning and i adore that.. her voice sounds gorgeous and smooth and intimate.. MENTAL FIRE ALARM?????? that phrase killed me. WHEN I KISSED YOU BACK I LIED????? jkdlsjkdgskjdgs also her voice back to that it's so breathy and pretty... then the chorus starts and yes it may be repetitive but that's like the point because she can't stop asking it. she doesn't know where to go. did i mention i love the spotify canvas? there's nothing left here????? bye. bye bye. WHAT A BRUTAL WAY TO DIE! BUT YOU CHOOSE IT EVERY... TIME... and then death by chorus again. she sounds so desperate and confused and scared. i can't even talk about the bridge i really can't. i'm half of myself here without you? 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 then she admits she needed space but also misses this person and i get that so hard i feel it in my bones oh my god where do we GO NOW???

long story short i love this song😊😊😊
