excellent anti war-movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2002)

I heard about the movie before I saw it, but I really couldn't guess such a good movie. Directors originated from former Yugoslavia are really creative people. Now I have a couple of words about story. "What is really charming in the movie?" if you asked, my answer is the story. Tanovic wrote a unique story which can be lived in any conflict area and draw charactheres who you can see anywhere even you can be one of them. But what makes his work excellent is he made an anti-war movie without using cliches and run down violence cheaply. Instead he used violence at place just as it should be. Ciki and Nino are looking at each other as soldiers which would probably be like that in real life. As they are soldiers, violence is a part of their life and Ciki uses it in the correct dose. The time that movie ended was the Ciki's lost of self control. In conclusion, great movie, I will wait for other productions from same director.
