Talk:Pretty Village, Pretty Flame

Untitled
-It's october 8th 2006. I just read the article and fixed a few grammatical errors. -Zlatko

Shouldn't "muslimes" be changed to "bosniaks"? -Betel

In what way is the term bosnian muslim which is considered antiquated and, in certain situations, very offensive due to its implied religious identification, "appropraite to the period of the film"? Usually wikipedia articles refer to "Bosnian Muslims" as Bosniaks even if the individual lived while the antiquated term stil was in use. Please see Bosniak. My change was reverted without any discussion or given argument. -Betel

If "Bosniaks" is used to refer to Muslims by nationality, that is incorrect. It would be ridiculous to call the characters in the film Bosniaks when they are ethnic Muslims. The film names them as such and was made when the collective name transfer was still unclear/incomplete. There are still people today who self-identify as Muslims by nationality, so the term is not inherently offensive anyway. I don't see how using the term (which was used by the people in question themselves until 15 years ago) in a historical context can possibly offensive. To not use it would be misleading and inaccurate. --estavisti 23:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * As a bosniak myself I really do not care if people call me Bosniak or Muslim. I am proud of my ethnicity and neither would be insulting. One should be proud of his or her ethnicity and religion. Thanks, Vseferović 19:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, the first song he plays on the harmonica is the Internationale, the song the guy in the hospital sings  ko to kaze, ko to laze, Srbija je mala   who said, who lied, that Serbia is small -- a Serbian patriotic song from the Great War,   if there are more I'll get back to you Fishing Publication (talk) 18:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Wasn't Laza Veljuskas brother-in-law? --212.247.27.49 22:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I remember, he was his godfather or best man.--80.133.209.130 (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

What is it Brzi says when Velja shoots himself? It sounds something like: "kkk ah kako sime sajbu ah kkk aaah majku ti jebem salf

The language from this film has nothing with Croats and Croat language. Don't mess Croats with this. Kubura 07:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No way, it's not Croat language. Croats wouldn't even use such bad language. They are civilized people!--80.133.209.130 (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And Serbs are more civilized people .. the Serbian court invented the fork while the Kraut ate with his hands Fishing Publication (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the category Category:Serbo-Croatian-language films
As per latest removal of category, I understand that the latest coment is related to this. The category says Serbo-Croatian language not Croatian, so I returned it. --Biblbroks 's talk 00:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Serbian Denial
This article should also point out the fact that this movie is part of what prevents the Serbs and the people of Serbia to understand that Serbian Politics and Militants are were the main aggressors and instigators of the war. It is just another way that keeps Serbia from accepting it's crimes. This is a another pathetic, propagandic attempt for Serbs to rationalize the war as "all sides were aggressors and equally guilty"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.242.107 (talk) 01:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

This movie is based on actual events.

I know about the so called based on the true event and its nothing like in this movie. Like my friend sinebot said Serb propaganda and not accepting their crimes

The thing is...I was there and you were not. This movie has nothing to do with who started the war and even less with who was right in it and who was not. And as a matter of fact I think that it showed all the sides in bad light. What Serbs have to understand is that Milosevic IS the man responsible for a big part of what happened during the 90's war and what Croatians have to remind themselves is how much suffering they brought onto the Serbian population in the Second World War, and that emotions from then were never overcome.

P.S I corrected your typo of Moovie to Movie.

Answer: This movie should not be considered as Serbian denial of war crimes. The fact that all the Serbs involved in war are now answering for their deeds or misdeeds in the international court in Hague, points in the opposite direction. Putting that this film is Serbian denial of war crimes will only spread hatred. Moreover, at that time Serbia was part of Yugoslavia, and Milosevic was president of Yugoslavia, so this movie has nothing to do with Serbia today, just as Third Reich has nothing to do with Germany today. For the sake of keeping wikipedia objective encyclopedia, please do not refer to your national emotions nor feeling of loss in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.101.185.65 (talk) 19:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

How many more scenes of Serbian soldiers burning villages, looting, ethnic cleansing; how many additional scenes of Serbian militarism in Belgrade, mocking peace advocates would this movies need in order for it to be "not one sided? The vast majority of crimes depicted in this movie were done by Serbs  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.22.184 (talk) 12:00, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Title Translation
The Serbian language can be written in cyrillic or latin script. Instead of the translation categorization of "Serbian: Лепа села лепо горе", it would be more correct to categorize as simply "Serbian: Лепа села лепо горе, Lepa Sela Lepo Gore", as is the case for many other Serbian film title translations on WIkipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.70.130 (talk) 19:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
