No one is innocent

The hatred towards the "enemy", and the brutal behavior of men. The instincts that take the wheel in times of war are the canvas for the film's story.

Propaganda, one-sided, presents the Serbs as monsters, normal for an American film, since the USA destroyed Serbia by participating in this conflict, as in most cases, without having any right. Good movie, but its purpose is to falsify the truth. Like the novel it was based on.

Hollywood has not been honest in any of the films that refer to this particular war. The answer is simple, it couldn't be, war crimes were also committed by the USA.

History is written properly, when time has passed. But it is always written with the ink preferred by the winners.
