insight into misunderstood war, but nothing new

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2002)

the movie did give insight into the bosnian war, a war most people pass by, or simply don't understand. Other than that there wasn't anything too special about the movie, which really makes me question why it won an academy award.
Possibly because a year surrounded in war and disaster in America they wished to notice a film on war just due to it being foreign. most of the film plays on cliches we all know and have heard before. Also the addition of 3-4 other languages besides bosnian and arab got to so one was wondering who was speaking what and, if anyone could understand them.
