Movie Reviews of No Man's Land
Movie Review: Better than Welcome to Sarajevo
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of the aforementioned film, but No Man's Land is truly incredible in how much it conveys about the Bosnia-Serbia war. Its absurdities, its tragedies, and even its tragicomic humor is all conveyed with very little artifice and incredible acting from largely unknown faces (at least in American cinema). It also strikingly humanizes and personalizes this conflict and war in general by focusing almost exclusively on two individuals, one Bosnian and one Serbian, trapped in a trench between the lines. Later, the role of the UN peacekeepers and the media is brought in with a great deal of honesty and, again, sarcastic humor at the relative impotence of both in the midst of such a complex and explosive situation.
For anyone interested in both the psychological and practical implications of war, this is a film that demands to be seen.
Movie Review: THERE IS NO CIVIL WAR
Summary: 5 Stars
The story told is somewhat old,In every war it may have happened,
Two members of the hateful hordes,
Between the warring lines are stranded.
What differs this from all before
Is painful twist - the wounded other,
The modern mine, which lays beneath
Would blow all in one disaster.
They go from the hate to friendship,
They kill each other in the end,
The film builds hope, anticipation,
The sense of humor really helped.
The worst of tragedies had happened,
When brothers, neighbors, closest friends,
Spilled blood, religion instigated,
The Civil War put them to test.
The film is good but shy a little,
There are no bloody, ghastly scenes,
It tells the story, Wars - not Civil,
This film is worth of being seen.
Movie Review: Powerful statement!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is very far to be only a more anti war film . It's much more than this . This film is deeply disturbing because it challenges you about the wildness inmersed in this coward act to a simple man in the middle of that evil conflict among the ancient Yugoeslavian . Since this perspective the film maker set us in front a serious moral crossroad .
The Red Cross tries to make all what they can do but this help it is not enough . Since this fact is a punch notice , this dramatic circunstance becomes in a rating subject . The film is opened and it is carefully objective in its proposals .
This picture won the best foreign film in 2001 , competing with Amelie .
Movie Review: Powerful portrayal of the absurdity of war
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this movie for multiple purposes in the senior high school classroom. It raises awareness about a region of the world whose battles and quarrels are frequently unfamiliar to the high school student; it demonstrates war in ways that are not commonly portrayed in U.S. movies; it calls into question exactly who are the heroes and who does one "root for;" and explores the role of the United Nations in conflicts. The media's portrayal is one of vultures, yet their role in stopping war can be so much greater! The one individual with tremendous humanity is forced to resign himself to his inability to make significant change in a war without solution.Movie Review: Awesome movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A very interesting movie - story about a Serb solodier and two Bosnian soldiers trapped in a trench. The story becomes really interesting when Bosnian soldier laying on the mine wakes up. He lays helplessly watching his Bosnian friend and Serb rookie soldier argue and blame each other for events that lead to their situation. The movie is a war drama filled with comical elements that culminate into tragical ending. I have to admit that I did not figure out deeper meaning of the movie right away - that the Bosnian soldier on the mine represents Bosnia left to suffer in uncertainty.
The movie is a must-see for folks who love drama.
