ijao hvala na obilju informacija i molim vas nemojte u tako dugackim recenicama, razbijte mi to na komade :D:D

[Karabaja]

mogla je šupčina doći na SFF i predstaviti svoj film koji je ovdje snimao..

[RIZVA]

mozda je otkazao za sljedeci sff da bude iznenadzenje

[repeater]

izgleda da je holivudskim producentima bosna postala drazom u sporednoj ulozi od rade serbedzije. rat, izbjeglistvo: svedeno na fusnotu, tek kao kulisa banalnim licnim dramama protagonista. kao slika sa safarija sa kojom se kuci vracaju jude law, richard gere, i ostali. za 1/100 budzeta ovog filma, svaki nas film prikazan na ovogodisnjem sff-u je mogao dobiti distribuciju vani.

[prugica]

Bilo kako bilo lijepo je da dodju ovamo. A cifre i brojevi su naravno smijesni, kada samo za jedan segment filma potrose onoliko koliko se kod nas potrosi za realizaciju cijelog filma...mislim da ne mozemo niti porediti te kinematografije...ne koriste dzaba u hollywood-u termin "filmska industrija".

Terrence Howard: Shooting 'The Hunting Party' In Bosnia

Becoming a superstar certainly has its rewards. Just ask Terrence Howard. Before his newfound fame, Howard did massive amounts of small films that either made it to the big screen or not. Now that he's being Oscar nominated, Terrence gets the best of scripts and the chance to travel abroad to make films. In his latest film, 'The Hunting Party', Howard plays a cameraman to Richard Gere's reporter and the two of them are in Bosnia trying to uncover a story while being hunted down because certain people think that they are CIA. The Bosnia-set drama is drawn from an Esquire magazine article by Scott Anderson about journalists Sebastian Junger and John Falk, who made a half-hearted attempt to catch Radovan Karadzic, an alleged architect of ethnic cleansing.

Also starring in the film are Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Kruger, Joy Bryant, and James Brolin.

'The Hunting Party' opens on September 7, 2007.

While in New York recently, he spoke to me about shooting the film in Bosnia and seeing the reality that people try to ignore.

What was it like shooting on location in Bosnia?

Terrence Howard: It was like having the world as a soundstage. We didn't have to pretend that there were landmines in these lush green forests. We didn't have to pretend that there were sympathetic Serbians walking about because we had about 2-3 bodyguards with each person. That was necessary because of the lack of amicable affections towards American; because of President Clinton's lack of response during that time because of the world's lack of response during that time to the people who came to those individual's aids initially was the people we declared the biggest terrorist in the world, the Taliban. When the Soviets attacked them and the United Nations pulled out, it was the Talibans that showed up and defended these people for a time.

As an actor, was it difficult for you to find the balance between the absurdity of the whole situation and the seriousness of it?

TH: No. It's a very grim story to be told but that is what is comedy is supposed to do plus make light of a heavy situation. It's the only way to make these harsh realities that should be unrealities of life palpable so that we aren't forced to repeat them.

How was it working with Richard Gere?

TH: You know, Richard is beautiful. He's a plethora of choices and has walked through a million gambits of falling before a director or having to stand above a director so he's learned how to make that walk properly; and if you watch carefully, you will gain about 30-40 years of experience by spending three months working with him.

Did you feel any animosity from normal people there?

TH: No. These people are a little bit more involved emotionally and spiritually than we are. Sometimes, death and tragedy, extreme tragedy can do that to you. The people that were in our film, about 95% of them, were extras and from Sarajevo. There were klix victims of those war crimes and three of the klix I dealt with had been raped during that whole period. They had watched their fathers and brothers be killed throughout that war or be lined up with thousands of men and boys were just wiped out. They didn't show animosity to me but they did show a show a lack of trust to the powers that be.

Do you have members of your family who are Muslim? Did you take the opportunity while you were in Bosnia....

TH: Yes, I went to the Mosque. I was welcome there, to hear the prayers as I walked by every morning and every evening and it touched my heart. I'm not a Muslim anymore.

I didn't you know you were...

TH: Yes, I was raised as a Muslim. I was nice to speak Arabic again and be back in that world of brotherhood again.

You play a cameraman on film, but how good are you in real life with the equipment? Did you learn how to handle it from this film?

TH: Yes, I did. That's a solid way of watching a very loud and noisy world. It was the first time in a long time that I had my anonymity back again because the camera becomes a bigger personality than the person holding it. You're wondering what he's watching and that becomes a powerful tool.

How do you walk away from this and with all that you learned go on to do your next project? Did you have enough time in between films to get your bearings together?

TH: I didn't have a lot of time between that film and 'August Rush'. I went into 'August Rush' right after that. I have learned that you do need to take a good four months or more for yourself and get in touch with you so you don't go crazy because it's easy for all these character to stay with you and you forget who you are at the end of the day.

solidan film, s obzirom na to da je Hollywood-ska produkcija. ima lijepih shotova sarajeva.

[karanana]

kakva je ono mjuza kad otvaras oficijelni sajt? U Americi zaradio samo 156,673 dolara za dvije sedmice? Pa to nece pokriti ni troskove Holiday Inna u Sarajevu.

Zaradio je malo zato sto se ne prikazuje u svim kinima. U St.Louisu se mogu pogledati samo periodicne premiere ( bile samo 2 do sada i veceras ima jedna). Nisam siguran zasto je to tako ali sigurno doprinosi slaboj zaradi.

[Truba]

nije bitna zarada nego broj kina

ako je prikazivan u 100 kina nije isto kao u 2500



This film is of the worst types of Hollywood films, historical enactments that trivialize tragic events by glossing over the human element while barely paying lip-service to the dead and loosely tying together history and hearsay with clichéd dialog and the worn-out conventions of cheap action-thrillers. It's no wonder MGM tried to burn-off this stinker at the end of the summer movie season, long before the more vital Holiday box office. I saw this in limited release in LA... at $12, it was a rip-off.

Terrence Howard is mediocre at best. He lacks both the charisma and power to carry this film, which is awkwardly patched together with his clumsy and lifeless narration. Jesse Eisenberg is awful. It's clear he either got this role by pulling a fortune from a Cracker Jack box or by being the nephew of an important Hollywood producer. This possibility is only more pathetic considering his character is exactly that: a greenhorn thrust into the action by an overbearing father high-up in the network he works for. His incessant blinking, acting through his eyes and pour delivery made me want to laugh. Richard Gere's performance is uneven and his character never appears quite as conflicted as the script would have you believe.

Which brings us to the heart of this piece of Hollywood clap, the pathetic excuse for a script by Richard Shepard, whose most notable work before this was directing for Ugly Betty and Criminal Minds. The pacing is awful. The film doesn't truly start for over an hour, yet the most climatic scene of the whole film is setup and over in 45 seconds. No build-up, no tension. Throughout the painfully slow first 60 minutes there are numerous clunky scenes of ugly exposition that are forced down the viewer's throat like so many pieces of un-masticated, Americanized, overcooked and soggy hot dog. I was almost sickened as the clichés rolled in one after another... Bar scenes where buddies pour drinks of the local liquor that is said (more than once, by the SAME character) to bring the Devil himself to the table... Dark characters in clandestine meetings striking a match to light a cigarette and illuminate their distrustful visage... Evil faces emerging from behind dirty plastic sheets hanging in dank basements... Triumphant characters telling bad guys, "You're going down, mother-f***er!"... CIA characters being more than happy to offer lectures about the "gray areas" their organization is forced to work in... Car chases on dark rainy nights... Long shots of foreboding looks from local villagers... Flashback after flashback of the same scenes of lust and libations with lost loves. Easily the worst of these unnecessary flashbacks was a single line of dialog that was spoken by a character barely 20 minutes before. I literally asked the film - out loud - "Do you really think I'm so stupid that I needed to hear that line again?" It's sad to see such a good idea for a compelling story completely destroyed by an inexperienced, untalented writer/director with too much power.

Even if you can ignore all the cheap Hollywood tactics used to manufacture conflict, the script is riddled with so many other problems, it's impossible to become engaged long enough to enjoy anything... Long exposition scenes that could have been summarized in one line... Horribly out-of-character dialog... Completely superfluous girlfriend characters vacationing in Greece... Manipulative scenes that are so convenient in the placement of characters and timing that they are completely unbelievable. Add in a musical score filled with sappy, over-sympathetic violin melodies that destroy every mood that the movie was so careful to ALMOST construct, and it seems as though the film's intent is to dare you to become engaged.

The worst part is that The Hunting Party tells a story of a tragic conflict and genocide that NEEDS to be heard by every American, but the film is so bad at conveying its message, it betrays the memory of those lives lost. This film will not reach the audience it should, it will not touch the hearts that need changing, it will not come close to opening enough minds to possibly prevent another genocide in the future.

Even in its last moments, the film tries too hard to draw parallels and lay shame upon the inactive parties of the U.N. and the world's indifference to atrocities... While flashing "Where Are They Now?" title cards of the various characters in the last shots of the movie, Richard Shepard (with great and smarmy righteousness), goes above and beyond any notion of responsible storytelling by adding the idea that the U.N. and other related countries were unable to find the masterminds of the genocide in Bosnia because they were perhaps too busy trying to find Osama Bin Laden. This suggestion is so ridiculous, it smacks the face of every life destroyed by this war.

ijao hvala na obilju informacija i molim vas nemojte u tako dugackim recenicama, razbijte mi to na komade :D:D

detaljan esej kad pogledam film iduce sedmice jos me drzi filmska groznica Toronto Film Festivala....navukla se svaki dan ici u kino treba pilula za ovo

nego pretpostavljam da je hollywoodski film, ali svidja mi se izbor teme, svidja mi se kako gere u skoro svakom intervjuu provlaci javnosti kroz usi kako to da mladic i karadzic nisu do sada uhvaceni, takodje mi se svidja ako je istina da su za snimanje filma koristili lokalnu ekipu, kao i cinjenica da su sve osim par glavnih uloga date lokalnim glumcima.....vecini prva, a mozda i jedina sansa da se pojave u hollywoodskom filmu....ne vidim sta je tu tako loshe? komercijala nije uvijek grozna stvar

Gere kad je gostovao na David Letterman Show

[boracha]

vidis ti to, uhvati richard karadzica, ovaj, bogdanovica

[Semiramida]

Mene trailer nije ni najmanje privukao.

Al' što neko reče, ima finih screenshotova Sarajeva (Kovači, Baščaršija). I još kad zasvira "Pusti, pusti modu"...

Možda ga i pogledam.

[repeater]

takodje mi se svidja ako je istina da su za snimanje filma koristili lokalnu ekipu, kao i cinjenica da su sve osim par glavnih uloga date lokalnim glumcima.....vecini prva, a mozda i jedina sansa da se pojave u hollywoodskom filmu....ne vidim sta je tu tako loshe? komercijala nije uvijek grozna stvar

bez namjere da zvucim cinicno, ali ni nike ne vuce radnike iz ilinoja u banglades da im tamo prave patike. pomoc lokalne ekipe se prevenstveno svodila na rjesavanje logistickih problema (obezbjedjenje, dozvole za snimanje, transportacija, itd.) ako se tacno sjecam, vecina filma je ionako snimana u HR. u intervju, jedan od glavnih glumaca kaze kako je dosta o ratu naucio od statista (extras), ljudi kojima je prica iz filma dio svakodnevnice. I, sad ti meni reci, kakvim buducim holivudskim ulogama se oni mogu nadati kada im u filmu o vlastitoj proslosti nije pripalo vise od jedne minute.
ja ovim ne dovodim u pitanje redateljovu dobronamjeru.
ali, ako ti iza leda stoje ljudi kojim je vazno da film dobro prodje na box officu, radilo se o karadzicu, pol potu ili majki terezi, onda otpocetka moras biti svjestan kontradikcija u gotovom filmu.

[furija Strašna]

Meni se film sviđa.

[Nedix]

Mislim da je film ok. Zivim u americi, i amerikanci su zadovoljni za filmom. Ma da oni pojma nemaju sta se desava, ali im je "COOL" kad nekoga ubija... Al eto..

[hatorio_hanzo]

Tanak film u svim segmentima...

jedino pohvalo sto pljuje medjunarodnu zajednicu

...


,.. i sto je republika mrska pardon srpska prikazana kao zadnja vukojebina

[IlijaLadin]

Film, kao film je prilično loš.

Očekivao sam više. Zaista. Na stranu to kako je prikazana RS i sve što se dešavalo ovdje devedesetih. Tek sad se vidi kako je Ničija zemlja zaslužila oskara.
