Although this is a comedy, this talented director with uninhibited and poetic artistic heritage has still not forgotten to include distinct political views and establish his own distinct artistic concept in this world. The audience can also deeply feel in this film that there is no war now not because of hatred, but because of the so-called love and kindness. This is a tactic of war, like the poor man in Underground (1995) asking "What will happen with kindness?" The answer is: upside down. There is a line in "Zavet" that reads "Hitler attacked Poland because of hatred, but today's war is for love, so it is justice." This is a new style of war trick, the other party can bombard you with planes and you But nothing can be done. Today's world is chaotic, and it is also a world that makes jokes and kills oneself. Kusturica believes that his films can make people temporarily forget about suicide and save themselves.
Kusturica, who is quite worried about the impact of Hollywood's industrialization, still misses the movies of the 1970s and 1980s. In this film, the director also expressed his respect for the three masters of film, Andrei Tarkovsky, Martin Scorsese and Federico Fellini. It pays tribute to classics such as Lie Rublev and Taxi Driver.
