Well i think that Chap1 (the previous reviewer) kind of missed the point when it came to the media. I thought the film was excellent in presenting how exploitive and uncaring the media is, how they profit from other's suffering. It was great satire. This was one of the most amazing films i've ever seen. i can't even really put into words what i feel. What an amazing work! It demonstrated all aspects of the Bosnian war..how f'd up it all was. The two sides fighting for no valid reason, the uselessness of the UN and their stance to do nothing but hand out humanitarian aid, and the bloodsucking media who profited from the people's suffering. The performances were great, i loved the cinematography and the absense of music here did not take away from it at all, it seemed to add alot more for some reason. We just have the soulful ballad in the opening and ending credits. Quite a profound effect. This film truly deserves its oscar.
