What a beautiful movie!
Nice effects though.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreIronically tells a story about Yugoslavian wars, so you probably need to know a little about history before watching it!
View MoreThere is some rumors that no one can betray you as someone really close, like godfather, or that there is no war if brother fight each other.This is at first story about friendship between two mostly different characters placed in two main roles, Crni and Marko, chasing for love of one woman, Natalia, which in one great musically color-full scene declares them as "there can be made one great made from two of you". In a drama of World War II placed in Belgrade, they will be fighting against Nazi Germans, for freedom and for her love. Lot of black humor comic scenes in war colored places of Balkan, filmed from genius Emir Kusturica, made this movie "must see" if u "wanna understand Balkan soul".
View MoreIt's 1941 Belgrade. Blacky and Marko Dren are best friends partying around town. Marko enrolls Blacky into the Communist Party. The Nazis bomb and occupy the city. The guys start stealing from the Nazis and hunted as wanted men. Three years later in a rage of jealousy, Blacky goes on stage strapped to his mistress Natalija and kills her Nazi officer lover. Blacky is later shot while escaping. After the war, Marko becomes a high functionary with Tito as he elevates Blacky's heroism through film while Blacky is actually still alive. Marko keeps Blacky and others underground manufacturing weapons under the false pretense that they are still occupied by the Nazis.There is something about this movie that seems lost in translation. It feels like there is something being said about the ethnic mix of the characters but I don't think it's clear. It doesn't explain the war in the Balkans which would be the most important aspect to explain for a movie of that time. The movie's surrealism also takes away from any realism to the all-too-real situation.
View More"Underground" is a drama movie in which we watch an underground weapons manufacturer in Belgrade during the World War II and a black marketeer who did not tell to partisans that the war is over and they continue to produce weapons. After some years they break out from this underground factory just to convince themselves that the war is not over.I liked this movie because of the different kind of plot which I found very interesting. The direction of this movie was equally good and is made by Emir Kusturica who did great job on it. About the interpretation I liked the interpretation of Predrag Manojlovic who played as Marko. Another interpretations that I liked were Lazar Ristovski's who played as Crni and Mirjana Jokovic who played as Natalija.Finally I have to say that "Underground" is a nice movie to watch because it combines very well drama and war with comedy in such a different and beautiful way that makes this movie not only interesting but a masterpiece of its kind.
