Does it look boring because it's not a superhero movie?
You're missing out. Great movie.
It's not exactly cheating, but in tennis, especially on the women's side, it has become a problem the last couple of decades. They're allowed 2 bathroom breaks, but often players take breaks when they're losing to break their opponents' momentum and regroup. It's all legal. There's been much discussion about this problem but nothing has been done.
At first it was sexual, but then they clicked. They were simply soul mates. Sometimes you don't understand why people are attracted to each other. They found out that they loved being together and understood each other.
So you want to see a few chases and battles. Kiddie stuff. Stick with Marvel. This has a real story for adults.
It's nothing like Japanese Story you fool
Austria and Poland both have universal healthcare and independent presidents. I guess for Europe that's right, but Trump and his Republicans would laugh in their face. There's no true capitalist country in Europe. Putin is left-wing, however not when it comes to human rights. He's right-wing in that department, as was Milosevic and the populist movements of the era.
I guess this comes down to your opinion. Because you don't believe the massacres in Bosnia were caused by right wing ideology, you feel this film is revisionist. That's your opinion. It's not the absolute truth.
Okay, you got me on Hungary. But that's just one country. It does nothing for your argument because right-wing governments in Europe are nearly non-existent. What you call left, as in Bosnia's case, is policy on economy. That's left. But ethnic cleansing is right-wing and driven by populism (right-wing populism that is). Milosevic's party was centre-left, but his ideals outside the economy were populist.
Do you know of any right-wing European regimes? Don't you understand that they all have socialist features? That mostly means socialized healthcare and high taxes. There are no governments in Europe that are right wing in the way Americans and Arabic countries are right wing. It doesn't exist. However, the movement that caused ethnic cleansing in Bosnia was driven by right-wing extremism. That's because what you're calling left-wing in those countries is about universal healthcare and high taxes. It has nothing to do with equality, which are hallmarks of western leftism. The movements within those systems, regardless of economic ideals, are right-wing. OMG.
You know what I mean, but let me rephrase it so you can understand. Mass murder within ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing genocide. Not all genocide is ethnic cleansing. Pol Pot did not commit ethnic cleansing. Hitler did. You're right, ethnic cleansing can include forced relocation. Either way, it's a far-right concept. Srebrenica is a case of ethnic cleansing, unless you believe Serbian propaganda.
Not sure what's so hard to understand. Ethnic cleansing is far-right. Pol Pot, Mau, Stalin did commit genocide, but not ethnic cleansing. Get it? Ethnic cleansing is genocide but not all genocide is ethnic cleansing.
I said genocide and ethnic cleansing, so obviously that pertains to one specific type of genocide that is far-right.
Let me explain it again like you're 6 years old:
The far-left/communists do kill and commit atrocities/genocide, but not for the same reasons that far-right do. They kill perceived political opponents. But the very idea of communism is equality, not singling out different groups to eliminate them. That's a far-right phenomenon.
You're clearly right-wing, maybe even white supremacist, so you're defending the despicable Serbian campaign.
Nice playing with words to try to win. I never said genocide can't be used for the left. I said left-wing atrocities happened for reasons that are not ethnic cleansing. Ethnic cleansing is a specific type of genocide, and it is by definition a far-right concept borne out of fascism. Ethnic cleansing ad fascism are considered far-right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Stop being an ignoramus.
Left can commit atrocities, but for different reasons. Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao killed political opponents and/or citizens that were perceived as threats to the regime. They didn't pick out different groups/ethnicities to rid the land of their presence. Ethnic cleansing is a far-right/conservative concept. Learn your history.
You're going by names such as Socialist Party. It doesn't mean the same in those countries or 1930s Germany as it means now in my country (U.S.). It's an economic model, and all parties embrace socialism in some form or another in those countries. None of their major parties embrace capitalism in the same way American Republicans do. By no means are they left-wing, and certainly not liberal. The act of genocide and ethnic cleansing are strictly far-right concepts. That's why here in the US, neo-nazis, kkk, proud boys, etc. are all on the right. Hitler is celebrated on the right here, not the left.
Milosevic was left wing?? Who else was left wing, Hitler?
The massacre occurred as a direct result of far right politics. How is that not politics, and therefore how is that revisionist?
Nothing here that shows this is revisionist. She made her film from her perspective, especially as a survivor herself. Why are you defending right-wing extremism? This was a story and event of ethnic cleansing. Are you a right-winger/white supremacist? You seem to be on the right, or at least defending it. Are you a Serbian or from Serbian descent? That would explain your issues.
Can you tell me where this director's comments are?
Based on the examples you gave, I don't feel the movie is revisionist. I call it creative license, but the heart and essence of the story is realistic. Great movie. Live with it.
Not sure I understand your reply. That's because you want to give as little info as possible so your claim can't be challenged. Are you saying that the director has admitted that her film is revisionist? So the Dutchbat not firing a single shot is revisionist because? Explain. Also, provide link to director's quote.
