Um.. The Bosnian Language does not exist? The article seems to indicate otherwise! Target articles like the afformentioned, not these.

yeah it does exist, read up on the bosnian language

[edit] cut and paste from ebay?

Which came first, the article or the eBAY synopsis?

[edit] Deleting references and sources?

I don't understand, why did you delete this sourced sentence and notes:

A Bosnian-Austrian-Croatian-German co-production, the film deals with the systematic rapes of Bosniak women¹ during the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s by Serb troops called Chetniks. [1] [2] [3].

It is very important to show the context of the movie, Zbanic Jasmila also explained that many times. Kruško Mortale 18:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Here is an interview with Jasmila, and she explains the context of the movie, and mentions who is responsible for the war crimes: [4]: "Grbavica is a neighborhood just across from the building where I live. During the war this area was held under siege by the Serbo-Montenegrin Army, and transformed into a special war camp where the population was tortured."

• I agree that the context of the movie should be explained. I rewrote you contribution in such a way that it does this now.

• I guess that you agree that the name "Serb" is never ever mentioned in the movie, so it should als not appear in the direct description of the movie.

• concerning the external link: these "sense-agency" links contain some non-standard elements, and my browser crashes for them. See also the what should be linked to paragpaph in Wikipedia:External_links

[edit] Chetnicks

Although it is true that the author uses the name Chetnicks in the film, when we write about the film topic, we can't talk about chetnicks who raped Bosnian women, because there were no chetnicks in Bosnian wars.

so the movie is about ghosts, or what? and when people during the war said "the chetniks shot at me", they spoke about imaginary bullets coming from imaginary guns used by imaginary soldiers? Nahabedere 07:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Someone can say "Animal shot me", but that doesn't mean that we should write about animals that shoot people.

[edit] A sentence

It has however been shown in Serbia itself.

Why is this so odd & surprising that it has to be mentioned? Because the majority of Serbia's population is ethnicly Serb? But then we're generalizing, giving the sentence - Look, look - an ethnic Serb watches it! which is, excuse me, but very improper. --PaxEquilibrium 08:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
