Movie Reviews of Tito and Me
Movie Review: The Movie Is An Excellent Achievement By Goran Markovic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I saw this movie for the first time when I was a young boy living in Subotica, on the North of Yugoslavia, and then I had no idea who Josip Broz Tito was. Like the movie states, at that time, Tito, the President of Yugoslavia, was more important than God. Zoran, the lovable character in the movie, starts worshiping Tito, not really understanding why. Zoran writes in a school assignment that he loves Tito more than his parents just so he can go on an excursion with Jasna, a girl he likes. In the end he realizes what are the most important things in his life. Excellent performances by Miki Manojlovic and Lazar Ristovski. Watch the movie if you want to see how popular, but at the same time unpopular Tito was at that time.

Movie Review: Tito and me
Summary: 5 Stars
Tito and MeThis story extends a fresh look on an otherwise obscure topic. Full of intelligent irony!Movie Review: comedy, absurdity, and the idolization of heroes
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a political comedy by the director Goran Markovic, and is set in Belgrade, circa 1954. The film's lead character is an overweight ten year-old boy named Zoran who has a bizarre, fairytale-like obsession with the communist ruler of Yugoslavia, Tito. Zoran finds his chance to show both his love of this leader and to impress his crush in an essay contest (the topic: "Do You Love Comrade Tito and Why?") that not only allows Zoran to go on a march to meet Tito, but also to do so alongside Jasna, his crush. It is on this march that Zoran begins to lose faith in the ideals, as his pseudo- Boy Scout leader finds him to be annoying andrather stupid. In the end, Zoran is forced to face the disappointing truth that heroes are often not much more than self-constructed icons.Markovic offers a clever commentary on the utter absurdity of the communist system through the eyes of a child, whose reflection and understanding of reality reveal the ridiculousness of the political system (it is hinted that one man has been a victim of the political purges, while aloud, it is said he is arrested) and the elevation of Tito. At times, the script was a little dry, but overall, an interesting film about this time in Yugoslavia's history, and worth the watch.
Movie Review: Good comedy and a trip to the past
Summary: 4 Stars
"Tito and Me" is a good comedy, but for many people living in Eastern Europe, this movie is also a trip to the past.
Everyone who have been pioneer himself, can imagine that he is Zoran, who are going to the trip :)
I would recommend the movie without reservation. Best to watch uncut version.
The best scene of the movie in my oppinion was where parents are reading Zoran's school assignment from the newspaper :P
But after watching the movie I really didn't understand, why was Comrade Raja arrested? Can somebody explain that?
P.S. I'm from former USSR
