Who is the Enemy?

In reality Daba is nobody, just a lunatic.Do you remember the interrogation scene? Čaki discovers needle marks on Daba's hands and Daba said that he got that in psychiatric hospital.
But on methaforical level he could be much more. I see him as a politician(Yugoslav or Western), a crazy leader who is harmless during the peace cause nobody gives a damn about crazy stuff he’s talking,but during the war he becomes dangerous cause every word he says could be a trigger for men devasted by war and surrounded by murders,hatred,betrayal,luck of fate..so you can easely bring out the worst in every man-evil,hatred, cruelty, prejudice, paranoia and manipulate them to do anything you want.

It's obvious who the real enemy is in this one.
Every one of those soldiers or partisans were the enemy.
Enemies to each other as well as to those they were fighting against
and enemies even to themselves.
The real lunatics in this story wasn't the old man they found walled up
alive.
It was all of themselves.
Look how they acted and talked.
Anybody with a modicum of commonsense can see that they were losing control
of themselves and slipping into a state of insanity.
The very fact that they ended up fighting among themselves and killing each
other shows very well who the real lunatics were.

As for the old man I have no answer as to what or who he really was.
And no real expanation is given in this movie.


It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
