After watching the Serbian movie Dara from Yasenovac, I made up the history of Croatia during World War II. Probably the purpose of the director to make this movie is this.
I don't like the movie itself very much. It's okay to scold the Croats first, and nationalism is acceptable, but I hate it all the time to make a fuss about children. The separation of flesh and blood and the killing of children in the opening chapter are very emotional, but it is impossible to watch when children are killed all the time. The death of the children is to show the brutality of the guards, but the guards of the concentration camps are all symbolic characters. The men are like masks, and the women are like women's masks. I can't remember who these villains are, what they did, and why they did this. Do, and know they kill at every turn.
This is also the biggest problem of the film. Group portraits for the sake of group portraits eventually become binary groups. There are no events connected in series, and even coherent emotions cannot be seen. The whole is scattered, only a nationalist director is there to shout out how cruel the Croats were to Serbia back then, and people who are ignorant of this history have no idea why. One consequence of not holding the audience is that the audience will compare "Aida, Where Are You Going". A film about Serbs killing other peoples.
