All of us who are from the former Yugoslavia are stunned when a film like this comes out.
My question is always was the war in the former Yugoslavia worth it? The answer is resounding NO! It was one of the most stupid wars since the dawn of mankind.
As far as the film goes, it just is so excellent that it leaves me breathless. They do not make films about people any more, actually they rarely do. This one is must see! Gritty, that is how you can describe former Yugoslavia. And this film shows it well.
For a Westerners it probably looks exotic. Actually it is. Full of PTSD and Paranoid psychosis, created by poverty and nationalistic struggle.
If they ask me what they could do for these peoples to fight less I tell them create Germany on the territories of the former Yugoslavia. I know it is not an easy task, but that is the only solution.
Trebinje kad me vidi jebi me! I do not know village on this Earth which hurted me more. First in 1943 they destroyed my house in Dubljani, about 30km west of Trebinje, evicted all the Croats from there. Then, in 1991 they burned my house in Mlini near Dubrovnik, they also sent soldiers to bomb my hometown of Sarajevo.
I wish it never existed, but I will never hurt anyone from there, I just am not that kind of person.
