i saw the film many time and and every time i be more and more disappointed and which be shame because the film from ex yu be usually very good . the shame here be and that holiwood try to make film about the place and people it have no idea . my self come from the balkan ( macedonia ) find this film disappoint . simply that the bosnian character be not really understood and not truly portrayed . to understand the mentality of a person from ex yu and you need to know their background and way of live and what make them cry and laugh . and the director of the film do not take that a guideline . when we ( ex yu ) make film and lot of symbolism be build in it and which make the character recognisable and likable and and mostly portray the truth ( if it be base on true story ) the film like pritty village and pretty flame and tito and me and underground and no man land and before the rain and black cat and white cat and otac na sluzbenom putu and ( when father be away on business ) and ko to tamo peva ( who sing over there . ) rare the masterpiece of the balkan cinematography and and nothing can compare to it . not the half bake story of and holiwood studio . a somebody from the panel mention the story jump from one end of town to the other with no real connection . i be sorry but when the film be make be not only for the american armchair variety of viewer but for the rest of the world too and and some of them live on the balkan and sarajevo too . and to add insult to the injury and half of the thing be shoot in bitola and macedonia where i come from . imagen my shock when i saw the broad st. of bitola in the opening scene of the film and when the bride be shoot from the sniper . and what be that insert real footage of the news cover in the film . anyway very disappointing and a the truth be far away from the film . shame that nobody consult the real people how be to live in sarajevo under fire and before they shoot the film . book be one thing and real life be other and and this film let down both .
