one of the movies in 80' that set the path for me as a movie lover

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2006)

Writing this comment with 20 year distance from seeing the movie (for the first time) is really interesting, to begin with. With prejudice for posting anything personal on the web, I find it strange to type my personal thoughts for the first time, regarding something, even a movie. Anyway, for all of you in North America and Western Europe too, this movie is viewed as a fiction story, and indeed it is. But, as I said in the summary this is one of the movies that shaped my movie expectance\orientation and fascination for the movies. Since I am a catholic, unfortunately disappointed in the church institutionalism and attitude in many ways, I have to refer to the North America and Western Europe once again. As always, history repeats itself tirelessly and it did in the case of Croatia in 1991. The question is now, what connection have my country, my comment and the movie? Just picture the situation of the attack on the village without the Robert de Niro character and you will have the picture of my and many other people lives in Croatia in 1991. Thank you for reading
