Why using colored screen?

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2015)

The movie is an art, or it should be... One-dimensional, one-sided, one-directional film like this one has too much color, too much noise. The story about Great War, guided by the fairytale carpet and the storm of emotions, can not have another burden. Simply, it is too heavy. Many other art directors left their work in black&white mode, in piece with the victims, because in the end they are all victims, victims of an unimaginable horror called war. This one can also be blue&white, like our brain perceives the water... Like you should not "invade a country if you don't know where it is", you should not make a movie about the people, nations, its cultures, languages and history connections, if you do not know them. The victims are everywhere, why measuring the ground under their feet, why choosing the side, why choosing the language, why measuring them at all? The life is one that matters. All war movies should be remainders of it. You can confront the ideas, the principles, but not the nations (war already done it). This film licks the wound to someone, and for the others makes it deeper. That war, unfortunately is not over yet. The chance of ending it, is in the heart and mind of the people who outlived, who survived. The hope and the quest of one man in this film defies the war and its meaninglessness. But, I will repeat it: every movie needs to be art, not a tool in someone's hands.
