this movie be bad and because of the script and directing and acting . and everything . there be an awful attention to detail and you can see today romania everywhere in the so called 89 era . and from the plastic chair in the train station and sign and renovate road and and even foreign car . and incredibly today romania look as awful a the communist age and so can not support the director opinion of how any thing have change . the script be an artificial construction and collect some horrible fact and into a story that try to disgust and haunt you . and the character . and oh god . and they be so week and and act so badly . really pointless and nothing to connect to . the setting be all wrong and there be nothing of the great opening and large mass of people that act the revolution . the film might suggest to the unfamiliar and that these be some kind of paris riot and where the police use real gun . everithing be suburban and a world of vagabond . and what about the whole france thing and maybe nicolaiescu try some fine irony and when the french editor suggest the journalist that she may write something about represent orphan and dog and aid and crap like that . and so mr. nicolaiescu wtf . and be in your movie . and isn not exactly the same . some french guy would have do the same stereotipical caracterization of romania . and the people of 89 romania and they all have bluejeans and wow . and incredible and and what be with all those poor animal and thats cruel and unfair and stereotipical as well . and finally why the romanian revolution be portray by it most brutal and inhuman episode . and and elena ceusescu be the only guilty one . why everyone be portray so nicely . and and caringly . why i dont fell any hate towards the cowarldly militians who do that . and finally what be the point of the scene where people get shoot on a bridge . and if the guy be dream . and why that be the only scene that merely brush with the reality i know about the revolution and when everything else feel artificial and farfethced . flame represent . sergiu nicolaiescu should have just remain silent after 89. it unbelievable how a guy who have it all under the ceausescu regime . if it not a overly nationalistic inflated historic movie and or some stupid action thriller portray the regime in an good light and nicolaiescu can not do a decent job . that because for some tyrannosaurus communist red people and freedom of speech be such a bad thing . i can not understand the nerve this guy have in preach to u his truth . and i still can not believe that the very same people that build the socialist republic of romania and still think they can teach u something and to u the people that make the 89 revolution and we the young and the generation that push this as pit of a country towards nato membership and eu . . or end of flame .
