this is a great movie of a great director. Dani's tanovic shows a tragedy which is beyond the question: who started the war. its about the psychology of people who changed their mind because of brainwashing war and propaganda. but the simple similarities of the main characters ciki(branko djuric) and nino(Rene bitorajac) show a light , even a positive view on people who used to know each other (they had the same girl.).this movie is closely taken on one set: the trench. and is not a movie which is hard thrilling. its war stupidity and the only people who could help (the u.n.-soldiers) are not allowed to , because of rules and law. the world sees the stupidity of war on TV which is shown by katrin cartlidge (jane Livingston) (to see in: eat the rich, from hell) . makes a good figure. but the real anti-hero is the system, which doesn't allows the forces to help. Bosnians and Serbs act in this movie , mixed and also the other ethnicity (branko djuric is Serb and acts a Muslim! he did a great job movie, very passioned , romantic but hard till the end). the Serbian general is acted by a Bosnian, so its a multi-ethnic movie which is directed very lovely and sensibly because it doesn't care who started war. the spot is on the situation and what the people were and actually are. the tragic situation that the Bosnian soldier lies on a mine is nice directed. the fact that the UN-troops cant help in the end s sad and something to think about. i think this movie was edited very nice, it has heart, something to think about. excellent movie, thumbs up.
