I loved the film, it was exactly the type of film I wanted to see from the reviews I had read. The film keeps you entertained and teaches you about the war from a personal perspective. The film was shot on a small budget of $2,000,000, but earned critical acclaim throughout the former Yugoslavian countries. 99+ Photos Comedy Drama History During the war in Bosnia, two childhood friends eventually become enemies, as the tragic and devastating circumstances of the war put them on the opposite sides and expose the most gruesome and cruel aspects of the human nature. Milan offers the suicidal job of trying the truck out of the tunnel, allowing the others to escape, however another one of the main characters, takes the opportunity and drives the truck, which explodes, killing the leader. At the end of the film, when Milan and only a handful of people are left, they create a plan to make a diversion to divert the attention of the men on the tunnel entrances so the others can escape. Most of the group within the tunnel become suicidal, and with no option of rescue, most of the men turn to the ends of their own guns, and kill themselves.
As the days past, with Milan and co becoming desperate due to lack of food, water safety from the semi-constant barrage of Bosniak torture from outside of the tunnel’s entrances. Both Milan and Halil are unaware that they are about to meet for the last time in this bloody battle. The latter half of the film takes place in a tunnel, which Milan and his other soldier comrades had been forced to hide in because of a surprise attack by the Bosniak’s on their position. The film is very truthful in it’s portrayal of this style of war, and explains the difficulties and the reasons of war with ease.
Whilst watching the film I was wondering if the film was going to be an ‘Airplane’ Leslie Nielsen style portrayal of the war in the former Yugoslavia, but I was completely wrong. The film jumps the timeline, focusing on different aspects of Milan’s journey to the military hospital in Belgrade. The films main site is a Belgrade military hospital, where Milan and another one of his friends whom he had met whilst fighting the war. There is no hint of animosity between these two childhood friends, but after the film develops you find out about the characters and why neighbour turned against their neighbour. The premise of Lepa Sela, Lepo Gore is about two friends, Milan and Halil who have just opened their first joint car mechanics shop in Yugoslavia and are celebrating at a bar in a picturesque valley, when a neighbour from down the street converses with the bar owner, he asks the owner to look after his house whilst his family are away, escaping from the war early. The war spanned many years, and created a lot of separate countries throughout the Balkans. The war was fought by multiple parties, throughout multiple countries and fought for different reasons.
