Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

elhim After finishing watching the movie my friend said to me: do you realize that we just watched over 2 hours of video about nothing. The movie is basically escapist: showing reality in makeup and looking like whore, very much like Hollywood movies. The main character is "very good person", faithful husband and a father and cares about people (through building railroads). So how do put this man in a romantic extra-marrital affair without damaging that ultra-good view of him? Well, you make his neurotic wife run away with somebody else, and then make him get mad when the girl puts on his wifes clothing and only later give in to his feelings. Really, a true story of devotion to family values and decency (makes me sick). The whole movie is also very zany, with childish humor (like teletubbies). And to make it powerful in the end there's the whole dramatic separated lovers story. So what you get is a movie about life before and during war, where nobody dies, main character has a romance, full of slapstick humor. How's this related to anything real. I see it only as a sickening reality-obscuring movie.

writers_reign Unlike the majority of posters I haven't seen that many Kusturica movies so I can't really comment on the charges of repetition. What I can say is that I found it uneven which is apparently a signature of this filmmaker. It would be wrong to say I was bored by the more tranquil scenes but neither was I doubled over with laughter at the comedy or conscious of a lump in my throat during the pathos. The love interest, Natasa Solak, really is gorgeous and it is a tad improbable that she'd fall so much in love with Slavko Stimac but this is a minor beef because it's equally improbable that Stimac and Solak would survive the scene at the Drina or that love really WOULD find a way against the odds in the final scenes. On the whole I wasn't too aware of the two and a half hours it took to unspool, the set pieces were effective yet it failed to remain with me as I left the theater.

Andro A typical energetic work from Emir Kusturica who allures us into his bizarre world inhabited with eccentric and weird human beings. Characters as they are exposed to us seem quite unnatural but as the movie gradually absorbs one gets used to and cares about them. Kusturica harmoniously blends comedy with drama and the result is an enjoyable and entertaining movie despite being built on a dramatic theme. The landscapes in the movie are breathtaking and an offbeat music has always been an integral part in Kusturica's works. Some elements might seem repetitive from his previous movies but I would rather infer those elements as a stamp of a genius. The only thing that almost spoils a delightful experience is an actress portraying Luca's wife. I could not swallow her annoying grimaces no matter how hard I tried. Her scenes apart, the movie is a pleasure to watch.

backd Talented forward Milos Djukic dreams of playing for Partizan Belgrado. But his dream shatters when the war between the Serbians and Bosnians escalates. He gets drafted by the Serbian army and must report for duty. Disaster strikes when he gets captures. The only way to free him is to trade him for a Bosnian nurse who's held captive at his fathers house.The least i can say about this movie is that is surprised me. Surprised by its drama, comedy, romance, absurdity.. Yes, this movie has it all. It combines all genres in a terrific mixture which interested me from the beginning until the end. Which is not an easy thing to do considering that this movie lasts two and a half hours. It gets along quite smoothly without real twists in the plot or having to accelerate 'cause there isn't a real climax this movie strives to (accept the obvious one, but thats not what this movie is really about). Don't expect to get blown away by this picture, it wont knock your socks off. It'll give you a nice, subtle, smooth ride for your money.8/10
