The truth as cinematic art

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2012)

Excellent story telling. Often we are encouraged to let bygones be bygones... forget the past. If one accepts the notion that "if we do not study history, we are condemned to re-live it" - then this violent tale of atrocities should not be forgotten.
There may be a few technical goofs regarding the exactness of street names, military uniform insignia, etc., but the truth of the events which are dramatized, are well told, well acted and quite believable.
Unfortunately, there are certain ethnic groups who regard this wonderful film as pure anti-Slav propaganda.... that is ridiculous, but it has not stopped them from falsely voting this film as "awful".
Imagine what kind of rating SCHINDLER'S LIST would have received if everyone of German descent voted the movie "awful".
Often the truth is difficult to accept, but we must not allow prejudices to cover up the truth. IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY is a well scripted story and the cast do a realistic portrayal of the horrible events that took place during the ethnic cleansing (and mass rapes) in Bosnia.
