THE SEVENTH EPISODE

I was so eager to finally see the seventh episode. I was wondering what happen with Elza and her son, and I was curious to see the development of Iva and Vera’s relationship because there was no mention of Vera in sixth episode. As for Elza and Emil (her son) I must say that I’m pretty confused. There was no mention of them in seventh episode at all, so I’m beginning to think they may have died in that German invasion in sixth episode… If that’s what happened then that is a pretty big directors oversight; there should have been a scene where we see them dead, or someone saying they ware found dead, they ware one of the leading characters, after all… Well, maybe their fait will be finally resolved in the next episode… This whole episode story is taking place somewhere around today’s Croatian border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, if I comprehend that correctly, and we don’t get to see what happened with the people of Iva’s village.

The last scene in the sixth episode was the Ustasa’s attack on the building where Iva’s battalion was resting. The first scene in this episode is reunion of Iva and Spanac who came with enforcements and saved Iva’s battalion from unavoidable capitulation. Spanac (beautifully played by Mustafa Nadarevic) is one of the founders of the partisan movement in Slavonia and has a high position in military hierarchy. He is also Iva’s friend as well as his superior and one of the most educated, reasonable, moral, and down to earth partisan officer that we had a chance to meet. He is the only one among partisans that understands Iva’s moral and antiwar principles in this wartime. They highly respect each other. Spanac appeared in each episode since the second episode but as secondary character. I never mentioned him because I evaluated his part not to be important for the story line at the time, but now I see that in each following episode his character is given more space and importance and now I feel obligate to mention him.

THE SEVENTH EPISODE

Along with the enforcement he brought Iva a surprise. The surprise was it was Vera. They ware very excited to see each other again. It seams that they didn’t had chance to see each other since that first night in the barn that they had spend together. They went for a walk and that’s when Vera confessed Iva that she is pregnant and judging by the size of her belly (she was hiding it the whole time under a large sized uniform) she was in the last trimester of her pregnancy. She told him that she doesn’t expect anything from him and that she just wanted him to know that his child will be born. He strongly objected that by saying that his child won’t be without a father, he offered her to marry him and she said yes. They ware afraid what would their superiors have to say about that because in partisans any intercourse among sexes is forbidden and if they ware caught in the act that night in the barn they could be executed. But Spanac knew about Vera’s pregnancy for a long time, he supported her like she was his daughter and he was delighted to hear that she and his favorite inferior are getting married. He see to it that the partisan authorities have understanding for this “incident”, he offered Iva to be his best man and he throw them an improvised but joyful wedding party. Iva wasn’t thrilled about this weeding party because he thought that it was disrespectful towards the recently desist in the recent Ustasa’s attack (among the dead was also the battalion commander Brko, so Spanac putt Iva in command now), but Spanac thought that the party was just what was needed to bring the moral of his men up. Iva was very surprised when he realized that his friend, fellow combat and his new deputy, Joka (played by Tarik Filipovic, GV’s good friend) is in fact Vera’s brother. That was the moment when he realized that he knows practically nothing about his new wife, and that’s why they spent their first wedding night talking and getting to know each other. She confesses to him that she didn’t want to have this child, but she had to keep it because God knows what would partisans do to her if she had made an abortion, but with time as the baby was growing in side of her she learned to love him. He finds out that Vera’s father was a police officer (actually more like a sheriff in his district) of the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia; he was very concern when he heard that because these police officers ware known to be cruel and insensitive. It was obvious that she is a goodhearted, intelligent, and loving women but he was afraid that the upbringing in that kind of family had to make some trace on her way of thinking, especially because he knows Joka, her brother, like a primitive, small minded young man with low moral principles. The next day they had to be separated because one of the partisan regulations is that husband and wife can’t be in the same battalion. Vera stayed in the station building and Iva went on the battlefield with his battalion.

THE SEVENTH EPISODE


On the field he meets an interesting character (one of the rare comic scenes in the whole series – the character is played by Edo Vujic one of the Croatian comedian and excellent joke tellers), a simple villager with unique life philosophy who was forced to become a soldier. He changed all three sides (the Partisans, the Ustasa’s and the Homedefenders) in this war for many times; each time he was captured, he would simply surrender to the enemy and volunteered to join there forces in order to avoid execution. Since the beginning of the war he didn’t fire a single bullet; he thins he is a lousy shooter and he wouldn’t want to waste the ammunition. He had spent the whole war lying in the trench waiting for war to end or for another capturing and switching sides to happen… One can se him as a coward, but he is actually just a simple and outspoken villager who doesn’t see a point or purpose of this war, and just tries to survive and go back to his wife and children. He has said one big true about World war 2 on this territory; he said something like this: “I’m just waiting for Americans to invent some big bomb and throw it on Germans or anything to make this war over, so that we here, small people, can stop killing each other for no purpose at all and go back to our old and useful life…”
A month or two after Iva goes back to see Vera and realizes that he has become a father of a son. That’s how the seventh episode finishes.

THE EIGHTH EPISODE
In the beginning of the episode we see a few scenes in the partisan station building (I’m not very good with military fazes). Iva gets in another argument with his superior about war moral. We see officers (Iva among them) planning the military action to reach Zagreb. Iva and Vera, just reunited, enjoy the family idyll with their just born son.
Approximately two years after Iva comes back home in his village with his wife and son. His parents can’t be more excited to see their son coming back alive with their grandson and daughter in low. The dialog between Iva and his father when they first meet is very meaningful:
Iva (the father took his grandson in his arms): See, papa, this is all that I have brought You (at that time it was a custom to address your parents out of respect in plural) after four years of war…
Father: And did you come back with clean hands, son?
Iva: And how else could I come before You… (they hug)

Soon after the joyful meeting, Mata’s mother runs in to their courtyard and starts to hysterically, on her knees, beg Iva to help her son who is captured and waiting execution in the local wood. With no hesitation Iva went to help his friend although Vera begged him not to go. She was afraid that he might endanger his carrier and reputation as an officer or even his life. She also thought that no Ustasa was worth that kind of sacrifice and she threat Iva that if he goes he may not find her and Luka when he gets back, but he went anyway. The wood was full with partisans and captured Ustasas waiting to be executed and the machineguns ware firing all the time caring on the executions. Iva found Mata and acted in front of his superior that he has some personal due with him and that he wanted to execute him personally so Iva pointed a gun in Mata’s back and took him in deserted place in wood where he shot a few bullets in the air, said him to run through wood and wait for him on the road because he has to go back in order to not be suspicious. Mata had just lost his fist in the last battle and he had an infection. Iva decided to pull some of his strings in order to get him a doctor. He went in to the partisan hospital and tries to find a doctor and he was very surprised when he bumps in to Robert, his Jew friend, which he saved from Ustasas four years ago. He asks for his help. Robert didn’t want to have anything with Ustasa but he felt obligated to return a favor and eventually he agreed to treat him. The last scene in this episode is a dialogue between Iva and Mata. Iva sends Mata home and advises him to stay there for a while while the whole situation settles down. He remind Mata what he had said to him when he saved Iva from Ustasas four years ago: “Now watch your self because I want be here to watch your back again tomorrow”. Their relationship has changed drastic since the last time they spoke before the war. Now they are both full of despair, rage and frustration over this war that just ended. Mata is traumatized because losing his right hand means he’ll never play tamburica, the only thigh that made him happy, ever again. During war he never part from tamburica, not even when he had lost his hand. Iva reminds him again to watch him self and took off in his jeep, while Mata shouts to him full with emotions: “I knew you loved me, but I didn’t know just how much!”

Фоты обещала позже. Автографы официально брать было нельзя. Нэнси столкнулась с ним случайно, и попросила автограф, но он искренее сказал «Мне жаль, я не могу». Вопросы были о выходе фильма на ДВД . Он будет выпущен в США и даже может быть показал по ТВ его длинная версия. Еще она заметила, что он очень спешил и постоянно смотрел на часы. Более подробно она и ее подруга расскжут позже, т.к. сейчас они полностью под впечатлением!

Saturday I drove down to Santa Monica and met up with another GV internet fan. We had dinner together and then went to the Cinema Croatia Film Festival at the Aero Theatre. The lobby walls were covered with «NO AUTOGRAPHS» signs.
We arrived early and sat in on the end of the question and answer period of the earlier shown film, but I must admit that I didn’t listen to a thing that was said. I only know that one of the two men answering questions was Branko Lustig (producer of SCHINDLER’S LIST).

We sat in the third row back from the stage in the dimly lit theater, and took photos of Goran Visnjic. Mr. V. appeared rushed for time (kept looking at his watch) and his introducer (I forget her name) asked him a series of questions about the film and TV series. One of the things he explained was that the director’s cut of LDN was 5 Ѕ hours long, but that the movie had to be cut down - thus the 3-hour version that was submitted to the Oscar nominating committee. He then went on to say that it might be shown on American TV as a mini-series, but it was not clear to me which version he was referring to: the 3-hour movie, the 5 Ѕ-hour original director’s cut, or the 13-hour episode TV-version.

Then his introducer asked if anyone had questions and I asked the first two.

I asked if the European PAL DVD had subtitles. Goran said, «Of course, any Croatian movie coming out in DVD is going to have English and French subtitles.» Second, I asked if the TV series was scheduled to come out on DVD and would that have English subtitles, Mr. V. didn’t say yes or no, but answered that IF it comes out on DVD, it will have subtitles.

Then Margi asked him the next question, and you know, I don’t remember what the heck that was because I was in a kind of daze and then (I don’t remember if there were any more questions) the introducer thanked Mr. V. and said he had to leave.

As Mr. Visnjic came down the aisle I leaned out with my program and asked for his autograph. Goran Visnjic, with a look of pained regret, leaned down and gave three gentle tugs in quick succession to my sleeve (at the elbow), and looked straight into my eyes while saying softly, «Sorry, I can’t.» And then, he was past me, striding rapidly up the aisle. What struck me most about that all-to-brief encounter (besides the fact that one can get lost looking into his incredible eyes) was his genuinely sincerity.

As soon as I get the photos from my ’toss-away’ camera put onto disc I’ll try to put them on the Internet for you to see.

After the movie, a Croatian man sitting directly in front of us said he had a conversation with GV about the movie, but I’ll get back to you about what he said after I confer with Margi, or maybe she’ll write about it herself (like I said I was in such a daze).

BTW, as I watched the movie I was doubly glad for Morana’s LDN episode summaries, they made watching the movie much more comprehensible.

I won the bid on e-bay. The proceeds went to the Perfect Paws Rescue Group. Ivana Visnjic is one of the volunteers of this animal rescue group. I received the DVD directly from Zagreb, Croatia, with the compliments of Andrija Vrdoljak, the producer of the film. I also received a photo and thank you note of Goran (with autograph ). The friendly lady of the Perfect Paws Rescue group asked me to send some photo’s of my cats (Chanelle, Winston and Bosko) in order to put them on their website. But she forwarded the pics to Goran and Ivana. They replied ’they were thrilled to hear such an animal lover won the bid’. They wanted to know why one of my kittens (Bosko) has a Croatian name. They also had a cat with the same name, they loved very much, but who died of kidney failure. I told them my youngest son named the kitten after Bosko Balaban, a Croatian soccer player, who plays with the favorite team of my sons.

Posted by Lion-Storm on 4/4/2005, 7:33 pm, in reply to «Re: Saw & talked to GV in Santa Monica»

Because Mr. Visnjic masterfully portrayed Iva Kolar and made the character so real that I was immediately drawn into the movie (I found myself moved to tears during several scenes – I say: yes. Goran’s talented use of body language and facial expression, as well as the particular way he conveys the spoken word, is nothing less than genius.
I think “Duga mracna noc” shows how friendship can ultimately bring personal happiness despite the ravages of intolerance, war, and political upheaval. As you know, Morana, in America we have our own terrible history of grave racial injustice (the enslavement of Africans), and genocide of the Native American Indians. That is why I found “Duga mracna noc” compelling: its message of personal honor and love of humanity is something anyone can relate to and learn from.

Regarding its qualities as a movie in general: it suffers greatly from inadequate English subtitles and drastic editing. Morana, since you don’t need to read the English subtitles, this won’t effect your viewing, but if one has first seen the TV series, then there is a strong chance that such a person will disappointed with the movie. This is because the movie is exactly taken from the series, but greatly cut down. I truly wish Mr. Vrdoljak had used the 5 1/2 hour version for the theatrical release of this movie, better yet I wish he had taken all 13 episodes and produced two or three movies (parts 1, 2 and 3) like THE LORD OF THE RINGS. So, while I enthusiasically give Mr. Visnjic’s performance 4 out of 4 stars, in all honesty I have to give the movie only 1 Ѕ to 2 stars.

Nevertheless, now that I have an international DVD player, and will soon purchase an international VCR player, I hope I can find a way to get both the movie and the TV series. From Enza’s film clips, as well as your episode summaries and dialog translations, I’m convinced I would give the TV series at least 3 or 4 stars.

Another thing I remember, HGG, is that lady introducing GV spoke with heavily accented English, but it was very different from Goran’s accent, so much so that at first I thought was a French accent. But of course, I knew she was Croatian. So I wonder if she has a standard Croatian accent? If this is the case, then it explains why her accent was so clearly different from Goran’s Dalmatian accent.

24 марта умер актер Борис Дворник.1939 - 2008





Именно этого актера все прочили на роль отца Луки...Он играл с Гораном в фильме "Последняя воля" и "Длинная мрачная ночь", где он и сыграл отца персонажа Горана. После этого как раз и пошли разговоры о вероятном появлении отца Луки в исполнении Бориса Дворника, но он, к сожалению, заболел...И так получилось, что в "Скорой помощи" сценаристы умертвили отца Луки...
