A movie with a message

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2012)

This is not a romantic comedy or another pointless movie made simply for entertainment purposes. It's an honest movie with a real message. Sure, it's not the best movie ever made, it may not win many awards or gain public acceptance but t that doesn't matter! So many people talking about how this is not a realistic portrayal of war and war crimes have (thankfully!)never lived through a war, or have experienced "their" war being led in a different part of the world (Irak, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc.) War is not something from the movies, it is REAL and of course someone who hasn't REALLY felt it himself cannot comprehend it fully. . Someone before me said "This woman doesn't need some small country in Balkan to help her popularity" and i agree. Some says that she is one sided, that she hates Serbs. That's not true. She just picked what story to tell and that is her artistic liberty. Not all Bosnians were good man and not all Serbs were war criminals,some of them were and are great man. But many were monsters during the war and that is the fact! If you can't handle the truth don't watch the movie! If you think love story is too much then go borrow yourself a commentary film! Considering that this war has happened in close history it is tastefully made, with a lot of heart and emotion. If you don't leave the theater moved then really have you any heart at all? All wars are in fact the same - the absence of all good. Let us not be the same, let us remember that even a not so good movie with a brave and strong message is better than a life lived in silence and fear, it's better than forgetting!
