Serbia: The media war against Angelina Jolie

Not long ago, Angelina Jolie showed " more concerned "[in] by the reception he would have his first film as director, In the Land of Blood and Honey [en, In the land of blood and honey], in Bosnia and Serbia in the U.S. [in]. Anxiously waiting for the reactions of audiences in both countries portrayed in the drama of war, and some of their fears were justified.

While the Bosnian audience gave him a warm welcome [bs] a war love story between a Serb policeman and a woman Bosnian Muslim, Serb media launched a campaign against the actress they accuse of spreading hatred against the Serbs .

The Serbian newspaper Kurir published some articles [sr] that seriously damage the good reputation of Jolie in Serbia:

Angelina says in the film during the Bosnian war killed 300,000 Muslims and 50,000 Muslim women were raped. The intentions of the actor go through the abolition of the Republika Srpska since it is considered a genocidal creation. Everything is rigged by ultraislámicas policies that present the Serbs as criminals, murderers, rapists and murderers, and puts Muslims as the only victims.

The paper explains that the reason Jolie opts for the Muslim side is because [sr] the film was financed with 10 million euros from Saudi investors:

It is known that Jolie is very close to the politicians in Washington. Surely you would think that cinema is art, but in reality it is anti-Serb propaganda pure. The director sends a message to the audience showing the Serbs as a wild beast, while Muslims are innocent victims.

Momir Stojanovic, former Director of Military Intelligence Agency Serbia, Kurir supports the thesis that Muslim extremists would have funded the project for Angelina, saying it "is pretty reliable."

The Serbian newspaper encouraged thousands of negative votes on imdb.com pro-Serb, one of the most respected valuation pages film, causing the dramatic drop in scoring a 5.4 to 3.3 [en].

Quickly the movie page on imdb.com Jolie became a virtual battle between Serbs and Muslims. (However, in recent days, the 11 pages of comments in any way be reduced to five [en] ).

Sanja_Cancar says:

Angelina should focus on what you're good: destroy marriages, stealing husbands, adopting children from other parts of the world, covered in blood. Instead he chose the ironic title of "ambassador for peace" which is involved in political issues that he knows nothing and makes movies that only create more hatred ... [...]

Vitezbg observes:

The film is full of lies, manipulation and false information [...] The rape of 50,000 Muslim is a hot topic. It is famous for the "woman raped in Sarajevo", which gave birth to an African child. In this case the father was a member of UN staff. [...]

Johnny NT concludes:

Well done Angie, Goebbels and Hitler would be proud of you and your great work in this film. [...]

rudeedee2 question:

¿¿How can these people think about making a movie ("entertainment") from this horrible situation??? It seems that only money matters to them. [...] Angelina Jolie Would your family the hell had happened, they had lost all trace of normalcy, living in constant fear, death and destruction just to call him as a producer artistic capital?

psysd3 Angelina reminds the crimes committed by their own people:

[...] From the beginning when they reached American soil, where it was estimated that in the sixteenth century there were about twelve million Native Americans whose number fell to 237,000 in the twentieth century [...]

Alex_Michael writes:

I guess I expected a lot from Angelina. It may be dark, but it seems that the film made her a blonde. Nazi Serbs on the one hand those who do not mind killing babies and pets from the other side good Muslims ... Srebrenica is an example where the Serbs committed crimes when they retaliated after several villages around the city were totally destroyed and its inhabitants were killed by Muslims in Srebrenica. The Norwegian Documentary " Srebrenica outraged a city "[i] reflects faithfully.

Bosnian Muslim community rejects the comments Serbs internet and gives his support to the film Jolie.

f_s grateful to Angelina:

[...] Thank you Ms. Jolie for being the voice of women forced, humiliated and tortured. I recommend everyone see this movie, especially women around the world to listen to the voiceless, to see the unseen. [...]

Sibaak adds:

[...] We do not hate the Bosnians. We are the people in the world more peaceful and so the effects of war are so devastating! We do not think that could happen. We did not think our friends would turn against us, violate us, kill our children and our homes taken away. But they did. We who live to tell, as I believe that good there are Serbs. But how many people it hurts, as here, has not the slightest idea of ​​truth, are blind and hateful and that proves it again. In a way I think it's good to teach their true faces. Showing how ignorant they are. [...]

Expersa Fatkic Mela gratitude to Jolie via the Facebook page of the film. writes [es]:

Angelina thanks for this movie, we can not forget what happened. Thank you for the truth that not many accepted and that no one believes until he sees ...

Dino Gligic shares his opinion:

Angelina, thank you very much for telling the world the truth about what they did the Serbs. It was even worse than the movie ...

Angie Garcia Taschetti Nat admit ignorance and ask [en] :

I just graduated from high school and never learned anything about the Bosnian war or about the camps. Do you think something should be done in education, mother and activist?

Frustrated by the angry reactions of the Serbs, Jolie said on Twitter:

"Can a nation creates a story invented by the terrible @ KurirVesti magazine and based on false emails written by an imaginary person?"

However, a few days later removed this tweeting and instead appeared [in] a new one:

Expreséis not your love for your country, race, religion, etc ... hating others.

On the other hand, responded to Kurir actress tweeted offensive with the publication of an article on the web threatening the newspaper: "The Serbs declared war on the actress does not know what to expect Angelina."

Jolie also made ​​the call [in]:

Do not believe everything you read ... "good trees cut down to publish bad reviews."

In an interview with Slobodna Evropa [bs], Jolie expressed her affection for Bosnia saying that "Bosnia is easy to fall in love":

I would not have done this film if the Bosnians had not agreed with the script. Been burned ...

Zeljko Mitrovic, the owner of Pink TV, is one of the most influential Serb and one of those who initially criticized for its bias Jolie against the Serbs and had even removed the film project. Now, however, has changed his mind [bs]:

It is wrong to attack Angelina now that the film has ended. We should have acted before you start recording. Now this hostility does not make sense. You can not change with added antagonisms. Should be invited to Belgrade because people like her can help us improve our image in the future. Angelina I invite you to come to Serbia and Pink TV.
