This might be down to the fact that the Serbs are shown as being both perpetrators and victims of atrocity, something the Western press wasn't to keen on saying while the conflict was going on in the early 1990s. I first saw Srdan Dragojevic PRETTY VILLAGE PRETTY FLAME just over ten years ago on channel 4 and instantly thought it was the best film to feature the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. Title (Brazil): `Bela Aldeia, Bela Chama' (`Pretty Village, Pretty Flame') I myself can not understand how best friend may become enemies due to ethnic and religions motives. I do not have much knowledge or formed point of view to make any comment about this war, but this is another great movie, as sad as the other foregoing mentioned. The story is not presented in a chronological timeline and uses flashback to explain a little bit more each character.
#LEPA SELA LEPO GORE MOVIE MOVIE#
This sad anti-war movie is no different from the others, except that the war is presented through the Serbian point of view. Yesterday I decided to watch again `Pretty Village, Pretty Flame'.
In the last day, I saw `Harrison's Flowers' and `Vulkovar'. In the end, the rage between people is showed through the attempt of murder of Milan in the sickbay. The story of each one of them is again presented through flashbacks. In the unfinished tunnel, Milan and other Serbian soldiers and an American journalist are trapped. Then in the Bosnian war, the friendship ends and each ex-friend fights for a different side in a split country. Through flashbacks, he recalls his childhood with his best and inseparable Mohammedan friend Halil (Nikola Pejakovic). In 1993, in Belgrade, in an army hospital, the Serbian Milan (Dragan Bjelogrlic) is completely wounded with many broken bones. In 1971, it was the opening party of the beginning of the construction of a tunnel linking the cities of Belgrade (Capital of Serbia) and Zagreb (Capital of Croatia) and symbolizing the union of these people.
