i am pretty disgusted

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2006)

OK, first of all, i haven't seen this movie yet (not because we don't have a TV in my country) but i saw trailer and have already read plenty of reviews. I am very disgusted and disappointed of Mr. Tarrantino, and how they present my country. I lived one year in US and i know that American people don't know much about Europe, not even about tiny country like Slovakia. I respect that, nobody is perfect. On the other side I know very well that Americans are most naive (at least teenagers) people in the world, and for sure, according to some stupid movie, they will make picture of whole country. Well, i don't understand these 6 things: 1) why the story could not be based in "virtuall" country like in "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks for example, country called Krakotzia (with Russian accent) 2) director apologize to Island's minister of foreign affairs, cause he pictured Islanders as an alcoholics and sexual addictive assholes...but he doesn't care about Slovakia (he probably even wasn't there) 3) why mostly of the movie was made in Czech republic, with Czech speaking people, Czech headlines, traffic signs, etc. (everything was mostly in Czech language, BTW. great new for many of you, Czechoslovakia was separated in 1993 - 13 years go) 4)we do have TVs (even colored), internet, electricity, we have had already own astronaut in space, mostly students can speak more than one language (in contrast with you), mostly students traveled across US and saw more than average American citizen saw from his own country 5) All of you are very welcome to Slovakia, so you can convince yourself, how is this nation beautiful with friendly, peaceful people and very progressive economy 6)I understand that even negative publicity is sometimes good publicity, but anyway I am disgusted...
