Being a Serbian myself,i despise all the movies we create cause they're based around vulgarity and meaningless questions...But this movie,this movie is something else...Such a deep,meaningful plot,amazing actors and a great presentation of how times were tough around here (even though i didn't care about that). Only one small little deed,involving a great sport woke up everyone,even those who gave up on life,brought unlikely friends together and so much more.And,it's so much different than the Hollywood movies in so many ways,it's not about the glam and the shine,not about entertainment and humor,to sum it up,it's not about money... I loved it,it's definitely something every intellectual being will enjoy.
... View MoreOne of must-see movies, all recommendations!!! True descriptions of the real situation of bombing the Belgrade city. Excellent movie with very strong emotions. Serbian mentality is well explained. Defiance and heroism, courage and bravery. At least what it once was and used to be. One line (quote) i like the most: "for 10 years nothing has changed even for the next 10 years nothing will change." In country of Serbia or in whole world? :D I like it and I recommend it to all. This sentence tells all: Ljubisa Samardzic tells of the tragic experiences of these simple people. Their need for private happiness, their wartime psychoses and rivalries, their attempts to suppress it all by holding onto to daily rituals and their dreams. To pull it off, Samardzic doesn't need grandiose imagery, heroic gestures, political accusations or apply any pressure to the tear glands. His unadorned scenes resonate without falling into the trap of dismay.
... View MoreThe movie is absolutely great...It is also very sad.It is about people during the war and things that they do to overcome the fear from war...It is very sad to watch them live like that during the war..The movie is definitely worth watching...Some people lose their lives,somebody lost a friend,a member of family...some families and ex-friends are united again.War does a lot of things to people,this is the movie how some people in Yugoslavia reacted to the war and how they "fought" against it!!!When you watch the movie you ask yourself how would you act and what you do if you were in the situation of the characters from the movie...you learn some thing about life.WATCH IT!!!!:)
... View MoreIt is incredible how patriotism and nationalism are the MAIN TOPIC of Yugoslavian film industry. I find this film extremely boring, with the weak plot, not that good acting, actually, domestic actors always act the same, non stop joking between themselves laughing at the misery when all of them "suffered" so idiotically all miseries that ever happend to us. The film is a bit hypocritical too. Camera is actually the only good thing in the film. Everything else is really dull, dumb interpretation of social gatherings, laughs and cries of the last "war" that hit Yugoslavia. 2/10
