what does the alter boy say ?
Does anyone know what the alter boy says to Stephen Dillane's character when he catches up with him? The driver shouts at the boy 'go *beep* your mother' or something like that...

sharehe keeps repeating 'why are you looking/staring at me?' 'What do you want?' and once 'why don't you help me?' or something like it... good movie.. brings back memories
sharethanks for translating it. I always wondered what he said. Now i see that he represented all of the children, and adults, of Sarajevo...
sharebeen wondering about that too...
very powerful, very sad....
Did you know that Wedding shooting was the first act of battle in Sarajevo. Btw...In case people didnt know, it was Muslims shooting at a Serbian Wedding. The producers and director accidently (*cough*cough*) forgot to dress the father in traditional Orthodox clothes, and show Eastern Icons of our church. I wonder why this??? Maybe becuase they were trying not to show the truth that all sides were victimes (As well as agressors).....
shareIt was clearly a Christian wedding they were having, the group of people heading to a Church. I don't see how the filmmakers could be accused of covering that up. All in all, the film is much more focused on the plight of civilians than on ascribing guilt to particular ethnic/military factions.
sharePat A Palin.
I can see you are an intelligent man. But what you need to understand is that not everyone watching this will understand whats going on as well as you. To the average person, that scene would just demonstrate Serbian Terrorism.
The Filmakers should have made it clear that it was Muslims shooting at the wedding. The average person would think it was Serbs shooting their own people, or maybe even Serbs shooting Croats. This cant be accepted because this attack, set in motion one of the bloodiest seiges in Modern History. The truth needs to be adressed.

Thanks for translating, peppernerd. But what I don't understand is why the driver would yell *beep* your mother" back in response. I would have assumed that the boy was taunting them.
shareThat's just the way they curse. Some say *beep* your father
shareYou completely misinterpreted my question. That's not what I was asking.
I wanted to know why the driver feels the need to curse at the boy at all, just because the boy was saying 'why are you looking/staring at me?' 'What do you want?'
the kid was annoying
shareall of the former yugoslav people happen to be extraordinarly vulgar. it's in our language.
thus, the driver simply tells the boy to *beep* off. to get the *beep* away from there, because it is dangerous.
yes....it's in our language.we don't curse only when we feel angry...we curse all the time.simple as that :))

The words may sound innocent enough, but you heard his tone, didn't you? He was taunting them. The director used him as a symbol for all of Sarajevo; asking the world why they were just sending in reporters to stare and doing nothing to help.
Oh, and KopCity; you can't compare the Serbs to Nazis. Firstly, the Nazis were a political party; the Serbs are an ethnic group. Secondly, it was only a small percentage of the Serbs that were committing atrocities. The entire ethnicity isn't to blame.
