...Tarzan yell might seem the most superficial accessory, but the filmmakers see it as a key to the drama. They never let us forget that the lad is isolated, unaware of his origin and his destiny--and aware that he is unaware.

Although Barak may enjoy the applause of Israel's socioeconomic elite, they constitute only a demographic plurality and not a majority. On the other hand, Netanyahu's collective, multi-ethnic support may just be that majority. If they are mobilized successfully, Netanyahu may well...
