Waltz with Bashir is a movie based off of the massacre of the Sabra-Shatila refugee camps. The main character in the movie is having difficulties remembering the massacre as in he has images of the situation but he cannot remember the details. This makes him question if he was really a part of the massacre or was it something that he 'dreamt.' Throughout the movie he is on a mission to solve this mystery.
One of the most burning images is in the beginning when there is a pack of dogs with yellow eyes that are running seeming like they are chasing something. They start to pass people and they stop at a house where the main character pokes his head out of the window and he looks fearful. This image is so strange because it is kind of difficult to interpret.
I think that the dogs are kind of a reincarnate of the people that were killed in the massacre. They are looking for revenge or they are haunting the main character in his mind. He can't shake the event from his memory and they lead him to want to figure out what exactly happened.
