In The Game (1973), child’s play becomes indistinguishable from warfare. A group of Palestinian boys treat bullets, tanks, and other military remnants as toys, engaging in a haunting game of hide‑and‑seek after one of them discovers a bomb casing. The film explores how conflict permeates even the most innocent realms of imagination, turning games into allegories of struggle.
