Necista krv: Greh predaka

I find that placing the Ottoman Vranje in the framework of western genre completely missed the point, as Vranje, a wealthy merchant Ottoman town, was not at all so chaotic and violent a that time. Also there is a lot of orientalism in depicting characters, all of that absolutely not present in the literary work of Stankovic, upon ehich the film is based.

This is the cheesiest way to show Turks are evil. The whole garbage of a movie begins with a scene where Ottoman soldier shoots a dog for no reason and throws it at a Church. They couldn't even find Turkish actors to play the roles. Just when I thought Turkish TV shows sucked, you guys came along. Please reconsider movie industry as a business profile.

Also, if you want to make a video about hating on Turks, just upload it on YouTube. Don't waste people's time.

One of the things that is great about this movie is it's production and authentic look of nineteenth century Serbia under the crumbling Ottoman empire, also since this is a Balkan movie it is really close to western production standards. The film is a prequel of well known book called Necista Krv (Impure blood) by Borisav Stankovic, a well known Serbian author. The film show how the local Serbian elite to preserve their status and power colluded with the Ottoman occupiers and made deals with them in secret and even trading their loved ones when times get tough. The main character is man who is unhappy with the state of his family and their many sins that they commit daily of which the whole town talks about (as a saying goes "o cemu carsija prica nego onama"). The family member are mostly "stained" by their lack of control of their emotions as well as their lust to which the main character knows about both keeps things "hush, hush" to preserve their wealth and influence. The Ottoman are shown mostly as evil, both the Serbs are shown to mostly commit the necessary evils to survive (which is partly true historically). In the end the movie has high productions value for Serbian production, the authenticity of dress and morals of that time is greatly done, and it's worth seeing, both not as good as I expected! Recommended.

Movie is absolutley beautiful, cinematography is side by side with Hollywood. But to me as a Serbian from Southern Serbia really bothers that dialect is not used. Movie would be a perfect 10 if the dialect of Vranje was used. This way, i really can't go above the 8.

Movie is not historical, or made as a representation of a book. It is inspired by first dozen or so pages when the lead character was introduced, this is a story about her grandphader as I remember. He is only mentioned in the book and Bijelogrlic did an amazing job by creating thist storyline.

It is true that evil strikes. The terrible truth is that this is happening even now. It is also true that evil cannot be prevented by evil. Besides, the film has no other meaning than to earn some money from the current occupiers. The wrong movie at the wrong time is a complete disaster.
