An excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2012)

Hi there, saw the movie without reading any prejudiced reviews, and then i was shocked to read the reviews on IMDb. Wow, I see everyone whining about the story, direction, uniforms, medals, etc, etc. But are we all missing the point here? Serbs killed and Muslims died. How hard is that narrative to grasp? Now Angelina is way too classy to portray events in a simplistic manner. Instead she tries to imbue this movie with a surreal romance which is quite convincing. The Serb plays his part wonderfully well, and Alja is simply sensational. I figure that most of these negative reviews written are by opposing Serbs or by uninvolved Westerners. Anyone with an emotional stake in the story of Bosnia will see that Angelina has captured the story beautifully in that short amount of time. The Serbs and the Muslims are shown in their roles quite well. The only part missing was the Bosnian Army, kicking Serbian ass by the time the Dayton accords were signed. In fact the Serbs are shown to be opposing the Dayton accords; however the accords saved the Serbs from a Muslim outright victory. I was actually quite unhappy the way Clinton stepped in to stop Bosnia from being declared an Islamic state, with an 80 percent Muslim population. Hypocrisy and underhandedness keeps Bosnia still on the boil and Angelina has done a marvelous job. Well done darling! A brave Human indeed!
