Lt. Neagu: [The engine starts working with a loud noise.] I said wait a second.
Dragos: No, I'm just turning on the engine; it's already freezing.
Vasile: There were snowstorms this time last winter.
Dragos: We're lucky it's warm outside, or else no one would have started a fucking revolution.
Lt. Neagu: Don't say that; the cold was one of the reasons that drove people to the revolution too.

Masterpiece !!!
14 November 2010 | by (Greece) – See all my reviews

I feel sorry that i haven't watched this movie till now ,this is a masterpiece , this is a quality movie a piece of art, this is the end of Communism in Romania and the start of Capitalism ? so which road is the best ? and what really happened ? Nobody knows for sure ,in this travel you ll discover that human people pays the debt for all this stupidness and not only in Romania but in every other country.Hîrtia va fi albastrã reaches the level of Taxi Driver or the Godfather or the Deerhunter .Its the movie that you wanna watch again and again.The viewer enters to the screen and takes the place of the actors this movie has a human touch like no other movie i have watched till now Full of emotions excellent casting excellent direction excellent music etc. Αlso i d like to mention the excellent plot and writing. Don't miss this film and the end is amazing best end for a movie in many many years of cinema.This movie worths an Oscar nomination for best foreign movie.I really missed this way of making films with human factors only and without effects and computers and fx things .Films made from people for the people."Simple people suffering always of the madness of bad leadership inside and outside of all the countries of the world but ...it is for their own good as the leaders of this mad world keep saying."

DRKLABS

This movie trying to prove that we are still human beings and we asking for help and guidance but no one is available to help and guide us so in the end we simply die happily after got tired from thinking and suffering and messing around and around like a goldfish in the glass bowl and finally guess what? we have found true freedom. God may show mercy on every poor people suffering on this crazy world PIECE TO THE DEAD OF ALL WORLD SPENDED THEIR LIFES FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BE FREE WE LL NEVER FORGET YOU
