Review of The Parade

The Parade (2011)
7/10
Well, it depends on how you look
1 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
If you look at this movie as a comedy (which I think it is) the film is good, but the problem is that the film should have a serious message about the issue of LGBT population in Serbia. I did not like it to appear as things that never happened-as a murder at the end (no gay person has been killed in Serbia), although in this way killed French fan (which came to a football match) in Belgrade, but it has nothing to do with the theme of the film. Also film is about a parade in 2009, which is not held (because organizers did not want to go to site that the police had suggested, they only want the downtown area), and during the parade in 2010 (where they actually shot some of the scenes), no one could approach the participants to more than one kilometer, so that the conflicts were in other parts of the city but between police and people who wanted to break up the parade, not with LGBT people. Also in my opinion this is not the best film by Srdjan Dragojevic (in my opinion are the Pretty Village, Pretty Flame(1996) and Wounds(1998), but like I said if you look at film as a comedy it is quite OK, and I also do not believe the story that the film is financed by gay lobby .
