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).

Normal about the way Viktor touches the two objects he associates with the two people who love him unconditionally.

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

Where Do We Go Now? and Brothers of the Gun Comparison and Difference

While I’ve only read chapters 1 through 2 of "Bothers of the Gun”, the book and the movie, “Where do we go now?”, have a point of view that revolves around war. War is broad, although it’s the way the main character and his friends, Nael and Tareq, act when protesting. They think they’re invincible, same with how the men of the town in Where do we go now? act. “I’m half-naked. You’re in riot gear. I’m stronger anyway. I can take you” (15). This very dialogue from a stranger in the protest sums up what men with no comprehension of death think like. They fight for their people, for the revolution, against colonialism. Although they never think about who will mourn for them when they die because of recklessness. Brothers of a Gun show the point of view of a young man willing to fight, a rebel, an outsider. Whereas Where Do We Go? Completes the other view where we see women trying to prevent the men and children from getting hurt. Together they make a cycle of death and birth. The nurturing and the destroying. Later in chapter 2 though, the main character was sent to boarding school. His father, despite approving of his rebellious acts toward protesting, deemed him to get a good education. To at least learn about what he’s fighting for. I’d like to see how the book brings more depth into the idea of the revolution in people’s eyes.
