Once There Was a War

A "historical" movie depicting an event, where a newly reborn nation (only seven years on the map of Europe) invades a Great Power, gets attacked in the back by a neighbor, incited by another Great power and still manages to win the war and unify its people, is used merely as a backdrop. A backdrop for frivolous inserting of fictional literary characters such as Bay Ganyo and Andreshko on top of numerous jabs and insulting remarks about the Bulgarians in general by variety of characters in the movie. Staggering historical inaccuracies and self-abasement aside, the movie doesn't impress visually, artistically or plot-wise (a small example - a major part of the movie is dedicated to the secret mission by 2 of the main characters, a mission that doesn't lead to anything, doesn't resolve anything and is just there to fill the time and deceive the viewer that something important is about to happen).

In the end what can this movie offer you as a viewer? Absolutely nothing at all.
