Nebeska udica

Being a Serbian myself,i despise all the movies we create cause they're based around vulgarity and meaningless questions...But this movie,this movie is something else...Such a deep,meaningful plot,amazing actors and a great presentation of how times were tough around here (even though i didn't care about that). Only one small little deed,involving a great sport woke up everyone,even those who gave up on life,brought unlikely friends together and so much more.And,it's so much different than the Hollywood movies in so many ways,it's not about the glam and the shine,not about entertainment and humor,to sum it up,it's not about money... I loved it,it's definitely something every intellectual being will enjoy.

One of must-see movies, all recommendations!!! True descriptions of the real situation of bombing the Belgrade city. Excellent movie with very strong emotions. Serbian mentality is well explained. Defiance and heroism, courage and bravery. At least what it once was and used to be. One line (quote) i like the most: "for 10 years nothing has changed even for the next 10 years nothing will change." In country of Serbia or in whole world? :D I like it and I recommend it to all. This sentence tells all: Ljubisa Samardzic tells of the tragic experiences of these simple people. Their need for private happiness, their wartime psychoses and rivalries, their attempts to suppress it all by holding onto to daily rituals and their dreams. To pull it off, Samardzic doesn't need grandiose imagery, heroic gestures, political accusations or apply any pressure to the tear glands. His unadorned scenes resonate without falling into the trap of dismay.

I'd just like to clarify something about the "Nebeska udica.". The war in question is not the Croatian or Bosnian war, but the Kosovo war of 1999 (March 24 - June 10) in which Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinski affair decided to bomb Serbian cities by means of NATO troops. While the apocalyptic situation in Serbia that is shown here is but the continuation of a 10 year long Balkan catastrophe, the bombing attacks in this movie are those of NATO. For the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) it was the first time it had dropped bombs on somebody since World War II. It was also the first NATO attack on a sovereign country. And also the first American intervention that came about because of a presidential blow-job.

As far as the cinematic experience is concerned, the movie is a bit melodramatic, and the acting only so-so.

Very emotional, shows suffering of ordinary people caught in act of terrorism by world super power.

Nice and tragic story about NATO bombin and terror on Serbia in 1999. It's a story about friends who like to play basketball in the neighbourhood.
