Just Jeeeeeesus Christ. I wouldn't even bother indulging this pile of manure enough to write a two-sentence "review" about it, but the thought that some poor sod on the other side of the globe will watch it and take it seriously makes me wanna vomit.
It makes me wonder about the nature of the creators of this "film," though. I mean no disrespect to the mentally challenged, disadvantaged folks, but I really have to wonder if the creators of this picture are simply mentally handicapped? Are they of low intelligence? Are they simply evil? But then I remember: To make an effective propaganda piece, one needs to be intelligent, even artistic. This leads me to believe that the creators here are both malicious and unintelligent.
Nonetheless, it is shocking to me that a human being in the 21st century can be of such low dignity and self-respect, stoop so low, lie so shamelessly about matters so serious and delicate, never once stopping to think: "What the hell am I doing? This is wrong, so horribly wrong!"
If I wasn't so liberal and such a huge admirer of the art of film, I'd wish to see these people in jail.
Those who live in the Balkans have likely gone through that childhood moment where their semi-senile grandma or grandpa tell them horror stories about the "others," how they are coming for them with knives, how they lust after our blood etc. Well, imagine a situation where a grandma is telling a completely insane, overblown story of the evil others and how they will come for the child if he or she doesn't eat those vegetables. This film's scrip is how that CHILD would retell the story. Indeed, it is worse than the ravings of a semi-senile grandmother.
As you might have guessed, I am a Serb, and I am not particularly bothered by the implications that this kind of portrayal of Serbs can have for my people, cause it can't. It's just that stupid. Above all, this movie is a disservice to Albanians, and if a Serb ever made a piece of propaganda so primitive, lurid, and obscene and called it a film, I'd be ashamed of them.
