Zapamtite Vukovar

Although Croatian movies are better and better in past few years, 'Zapamtite Vukovar' seems to be one more in a row of bad and cheese Vukovar-theme movies (like 'Vukovar se vraća kući', and some others from the 90's for example) . Of course, production and photography can't be compared with the trash from the 90's, but still the main problem in Croatian cinema is bad acting most of the actors (employer of 'Radio Vukovar' has Zagrebian accent?!). Exception is Izudin Bajrović, great Bosnian actor who played role of Yugoslav Army's major fairly good considering the quality of the script (which is extremely bad, to my opinion). Bad acting, cliché's, bad movie music, stereotype… it would take forever to count all the bad stuff, and it would also take forever for me to remember a single good thing. One thing i liked – director used ambulance cars from the '91 for the in front of the hospital scene – detail that most Croatian movie makers wouldn't even bother to notice. All in all – sadly, another bad movie for Vukovar.

The Anglo-American West was supporting Miloshevich and his Serbian hordes (parading as "JNA") during the first year of the War of the Fall of Yugoslav Federation of the 1990s. They expected Croatia to fall, but the commitment of the Croatian defenders was too much for the rotten, poorly organized, corrupt and viciously criminal Serbian side in the War in which Yugoslavia exposed itself to the world for what a fake nation it was.

This movie is attempting to authentically bring to the screen the reality of the vindictive Evil that Serbia unleashed on Croatia in 1991 thanks to the deeply criminal and psychopathic Serbo-Montenegrin Communist Regime of Terror & Lies based in Belgrade, and led by the fat-cheeked President Miloshevich.

The acting in the movie is decent, the scenes are authentic, the psychology of the warring parties is fairly accurate. The Croats defended their nation that they loved, while the Serbian invaders were primitive losers and wannabe Chetnik rapists on a mission to ravage Croatia and satisfy their sadistic lust for rapes and abuse of the hated Croatian civilians.

The movie serves well the purpose of portraying the basics of the 1991 Battle of Vukovar, the last classic full scale battle in Europe in the 20th century.
