    In the Land of Blood and Honey

    Angelina Jolie makes a great effort, I believe, in telling the facts as they are in this horrendous Bosnian War of horrific conflict. But I think she doesn't get it quite right. The reviews are either rave 9's and 10's OR 1, 2 or 3's. This is very telling so I read a good many reviews.

    As actual film, it is a pretty decent first effort behind the camera. Technically. It is a good film. I think she's a natural as a director, as proven by her latest film. The look of the film is so horrifyingly authentic. She has a director's eye. But in great part due to the script, the entire story was not told and that is why so many hated this film. In any conflict except a VERY FEW, there are more than several points of view to consider. As one reviewer said the film does not follow the events from all perspectives and this has infuriated many. From my perspective, I see it as a fairly predictable war movie. I very deliberately take absolutely no stand whatever on BLAME... just critiquing it as I'd do any other film. I do believe Angelina Jolie has a future as a director for the reasons I have stated above.
