O Sexto Ônibus

Great movie with amazing actors. I really enjoyed watching it. I liked the theme and war scenes were filmed brilliantly. The soundtrack is impressive. Worth a watch 10/10.

Finally a telling of the story that conveys empathy for humans on both sides of this tragic conflict. Galic tells the story with a pace that allows the viewer to get to know the characters and the town. At the heart of it, this is a movie about friendship and brotherly love, and the madness of war. Men caught up in identification with their tribes forgetting about the humanity of other men. The movie is well acted and there is a certain innocence the actors convey while also expressing a weariness of life, of conflict, of governments who cannot coexist. Most importantly this movie accurately expresses the toughness and grit of the Croatian and Serbian people while also expressing their big heartedness, their love of county, and their love of friendship and social connection. If you want to understand more about this area of the world and its people, watch The Sixth Bus.

The Sixth Bus is a gripping, human-centered take on the battle of Vukovar, showing the war's impact beyond just the battlefield. It digs into identity, friendship, and the way war makes people forget each other's humanity. The film takes its time, letting you connect with the characters and feel the weight of their world. It's raw, tragic, but also full of heart, capturing both the toughness and deep sense of connection among the people caught in the conflict. With strong performances and a haunting soundtrack, it's more than just a war film-it's about memory, loss, and trying to make sense of the past. Highly enjoyable!

In this film, we follow several characters and their fates. The action takes place before and after the attack on Vukovar.

The Sixth Bus is a poignant drama about the fall of Vukovar, which is based on the true story of the so-called the sixth bus that took the captured defenders and the wounded from the Vukovar Hospital, whose fate is not known even after more than 30 years.

A young American journalist is trying to find out the fate of a man from her mother's past, a missing Croatian soldier from Vukovar.

What is good about the film is that it managed to convey emotions and atmosphere. After the fall of Vukovar, terrible crimes took place, the missing bodies are still being searched for today.

Of course, everyone would like this film to be better than it is, but honestly, this is not bad at all, especially when we compare it to most Croatian productions. The direction could be a little better at times, but still, the film is worth watching.

I'm pretty generous with the 8/10 rating, it's hard to be objective when it comes to this topic, but hey, the rating is that way because they put in the effort to tell this story.

The actors are mediocre, although even sometimes they are not that bad. The point of this film is not that, but to encourage the talk about these events and not to forget them because we should learn from history.

Terrible things happened in Vukovar, they should never be forgotten and should serve as an eternal reminder of what hatred can do.

Vukovar defended itself against a more numerous and better equipped enemy, and foreign "experts" predicted that the city would fall in a few days. However, thanks to the heroic resistance of the defenders, the city held on for much more than that.

It was a battle that ended up costing the attackers of the city dearly, the losses of the JNA and Serbian paramilitary units were huge and that somehow changed the course of the war.

The city of Vukovar was destroyed by the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) and Serb paramilitaries. The massacre occurred shortly after Vukovar's capture by the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) and paramilitaries from Serbia. In that period, it was the fiercest battle in Europe since 1945, and Vukovar was the first major European city completely destroyed since World War II.

The Croatian city of Vukovar was defended by around 1,800 soldiers of the Croatian National Guard (ZNG) and civilian volunteers, against as many as 36,000 JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) soldiers and Serb paramilitaries equipped with heavy artillery.

The war eventually ended with a Croatian victory and the liberation of the occupied territories.

The SIXTH BUS is a movie you need to see to comment on. And several times. Because in the film, every scene and every character has its own context, its personal history and values. The film far exceeds expectations because it places the battle for Vukovar in a different environment and dimensions yet supported by facts and human values.

The actors, directors and producers, as well as the masters of tone and make-up, did an excellent job, and if we add to that an impressive musical background, there is only one recommendation: Watch to comment!

Excellent Rade Vulin, Marko Petric, Masa Dordevic, Zala Djuric, Zivko Anocic, Pavle Matusko, a remarkable story that places Croatian film on a higher level!
