Good intense war crimes movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2012)

I just saw the movie, and I must admit that my knees are still shaking. The movie was very hard to watch because the scenes were intense and very realistic. I heard a lot about this movie before I went to see it, and I was afraid that it would be a disaster, but it was not, it was a movie that showed the horrors of war and a lot of separate crimes that were every day life for Muslim people in Bosnia. You hear about those things, you know that it is true, but your brain cannot picture it. Angelina Jolie within those two hours installed brutal pictures and painful facial expressions in my mind. I understand that many people complained about one side of the story. The fact is that Serbian military was bombing Sarajevo for three years, the fact is that there were snipers shooting civilians, the fact is that all the horrors depicted in this movie took place in Europe in plain sight to the whole world. It is true that there were crimes committed by Muslims and Croatians, but it was not the story here, maybe some other movie. Jolie was well informed about everything only one thing that bothered me was, in some scenes, literal translation from English to Bosnian language.
