Movie Reviews of Pretty Village, Pretty Flame
Movie Review: Propaganda follows us everywhere
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was a wonderful, epic masterpiece. It is very even-handed in its portrayal of the conflict. Reading a few of these posts, however, indicates that finger-pointing is still very present in the Balkans. One mentions previously about the siege of Sarajevo, etc. Again, misinformation haunts us. Prior to the war, Serbs owned 64.5% of the territory, far more than their population would suggest. This is because Muslims were given privileges to live in cities under the Ottoman empire and Christians thus dominated the rural and suburban areas and thus most of the land. When you are told that the Serbs "stole" 16 percent more than they deserved in RS, you are being lied to; they lost 16% of their territory. In any case, the siege of Sarajevo was a true horror and there is much evidence that while Serbs were sniping innocent Muslim civilians in Sarajevo's streets, Muslim paramilitarists, chiefly under the titles of "Caco", "Celo", and "Juka" committed heinous atrocities. They forced the Christians of the city to dig trenches, set up numerous detention camps and brothels where Serbs and to a lesser degree Croats were being held and massacred hundreds of Serbs and stashed their bodies in a gorge near Sarajevo.The fact that monsters like these: Juka, Caco, Celo, and Oric amongst the Muslims; Arkan, Legija, and Seselj amongst the Serbs, and Tuta, Stela, and Pavo amongst the Croats are still revered as heroes by their respective sides indicates that nothing in the Balkans has changed. We are in the same place as in 1990, except after the death of tens of thousands and ethnic cleansing of millions on all sides. Now the realities of inter-relgious, inter-ethnic hatred are bitterly clear to all.
Summary of Pretty Village, Pretty Flame
This provocative and disturbing movie is based on an incident that happened in the first winter of the war in Bosnia in 1992. Two childhood friends, one a Serb the other a Muslim, square off on opposite sides of war, their friendship tattered and in ruins.
