Bad Blood

I had no expectations coming into cinema knowing that some previous adaptations of this exact piece of literature hadn't really been that successful. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised, because the newest adaptation of Necista krv (or Bad Blood) is nearly flawless in variety of aspects. First of all, sound was terrific, a revelation for me, having been used to terrible sound techniques of Serbian cinema. Cinematography is, perhaps, one of the best ones I've seen in years, whoever is the person who stood behind this should receive an applause from honest moviegoers. Now, acting was very good and frequently criticized young actors performed significantly better than they had before. Direction was also very solid. All in all, a fantastic film and you should definitely check it out.

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.

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.

A Serbian movie that is so far from the historical facts to claim that the Ottoman Empire, famous for its tolerance, did not allow church bells to be rung for 400 years. It's also racist enough to make Turks look like monsters. And it's too erotic look like a porn movie. It is a very bad movie in terms of art, fiction and acting.

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.
