    Bosnian Serb distributor shuns Jolie's movie

    BANJA LUKA , Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The sole film distributor in the Serb-run part of Bosnia says Serbs have no interest in seeing Angelina Jolie's movie set during the Bosnian war so he won't be screening it.

    Vladimir Ljevak told The Associated Press Monday that "In the Land of Blood and Honey" would not attract an audience as it portrays Serbs as the bad guys.

    A Small group of Muslim Bosniaks who have returned to their homes in the Serb part of the country say instead they plan to organize private screenings.

    Jolie's drama about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosniak woman, among sex slaves in a camp is set to make its full debut in Sarajevo on Tuesday and will be shown in theaters in the Bosniak-Croat part of Bosnia.

    Ljevak said he has seen the film, and described it as "lousy."

      The problem with taking a historical event, especially one that is not so ancient history and is still so raw for all those who were involved, is that when the typical American audience sees it, they don't think in terms of "art" they assume that the research was done and that the film is historically accurate, almost documentary like. There are few 'winners" in war, mostly civilians who lose...Some "stories" like this one only serve to further inflame. I have not seen the movie but have seen the same response when other movies of this type have been released. Fact and fiction get blurred.

      He movie is art, like a Picasso and I am not surprised that this guy is not going to show it. It was a beautiful movie. One with terrific heart and soul
