ABOUT/vsebina:
DO YOU REMEMBER THE JOKE ABOUT TWO COWBOYS BEATING UP A MUCH WEAKER THIRD ONE WHEN THE SHERIFF TURNS UP? »IF YOU HIT HIM AGAIN, BY GOD I WILL SHOW YOU.« CRIES OUT THE SHERIFF. THE COWBOY’S CONTINUE WITH THE BEATING OF THE WEAKER ONE. THE SHERIFF FIGURES OUT THAT THIS WILL NOT STOP SO HE WITH GREAT SHOWMANSHIP STOPS THE FIGHT BY COMMISERATING WITH THE BLOODED AND BEATEN CHAP AND TELL HIM TO RUN OR THE OTHER TWO WILL BEAT HIM UNTIL HE DIES. THE FEATURE FILM NO MAN'S LAND BY DANIS TANOVIC IS SET IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA DURING 1993 AT THE TIME OF THE HEAVIEST FIGHTING BETWEEN THE TWO WARRING SIDES. THE TWO BOSNIAN SOLDIERS, NIKI AND CRNI, WANDER INTO THE NO MAN'S LAND AND BECOME THE VICTIMS OF BOMBING. CRNI FALLS MOTIONLESS; CIKI WAKES UP IN A TRENCH AND STARTS LOOKING FOR AN EXIT. SERBS SEND A PATROL THAT CONFIRMS THAT THEY ARE ALL DEAD. CIKI IS HIDING. WHILE WAITING FOR NIGHT TO FALL THE OLDER SERBIAN SOLDIER SHOWS HIS YOUNGER COLLEAGUE NINO THE PLACING OF A MINE UNDER THE BODY OF THE FALLEN BOSNIAN SOLDIER. CIKI TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE PROPITIOUS MOMENT AND KILLS THE OLDER SOLDIER. HE LETS NINO LIVE AND AT THIS MOMENT DISCOVERS THAT CRNI IS ALIVE, BUT WITH AN ACTIVATED MINE UNDER HIS BODY. TOGETHER WITH THE SERBIAN SOLDIER NINO HE STARTS LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO THIS DISTRESSING SITUATION. DRAMATIC MOMENTS OF HATE AND TOLERANCE ARE TAKING PLACE BETWEEN THEM. BOTH OF THEM TRY TO CALL ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES FROM THEIR OWN SIDE AND UNPROFOR. THE RIGID MECHANISM OF AN ENORMOUS INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING FORCE IS ACTIVATED BUT THERE IS NO GREAT INTEREST IN HELPING EVEN THOUGH BOTH SIDES HAVE STOPPED THEIR FIRING. ONCE THE REPORTERS GET WIND OF THE INCIDENT UNPROFOR ALL OF A SUDDEN WISHES TO RESCUE THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS FROM THE TRENCH. »NO MAN'S LAND« IS A STORY OF COMMON PEOPLE PUSHED INTO THE WHIRLWIND OF NATIONAL HATRED AND POLITICAL INTRIGUE. IT IS A STORY OF HUMANS IN INHUMANE SITUATIONS INTO WHICH ONLY FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS CAN PUSH HIM. THE FILM IS FULL OF IRONIC AND CYNICAL HUMOUR AS WELL AS ORIGINAL AND INVENTIVE DIALOGUE. THIS IS ALSO THE MEDICINE FOR REMAINING NORMAL IN SITUATIONS, WHICH ARE ANY THING, BUT NORMAL. THE FILM COULD ALSO BE A COMEDY IF IT DID NOT INVOLVE THE TRAGEDY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE REGION. IT IS IRONIC THAT MINES PRODUCED IN THE EUROPEAN UNION THAT AT THE SAME TIME CONTRIBUTED HUMANITARIAN AID KILLED BOSNIANS. THE FILM USES ELEMENTS OF ARTFUL SYMBOLISM WHICH WHERE PART OF THIS WAR, THE SUFFERING OF NATIONS PUSHED INTO UNNECESSARY WAR, DOUBLEFACEDNESS OF EUROPE AND THE WORLD, WHICH ONLY LOOK AFTER THEIR OWN INTERESTS. TRUTH IS NOT IMPORTANT ONLY AN INTERESTING STORY FOR THE VIEWERS OF THE WORLD. AT THE END EVERYTHING BECOMES CLEAR. THE REPORTER GETS HER »TOP STORY« FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. THE UNPROFOR SERGEANT WILL REMAIN IN HIS JOB; MAYBE HE WILL EVEN RECEIVE A MEDAL. THE DELUSION WILL BE COMPLETE. IT IS ALSO CLEAR WHY CIKI WENT MAD. WHAT IS THE FATE OF CRNI ALSO SYMBOLISES THE FATE OF THE BOSNIAN PEOPLE.
Ali se spomnite tistega vica, v katerem dva kavboja pretepata bistveno slabšega od sebe, ko se pojavi šerif. »Če ga udarite še enkrat, boste že videli svojega boga,« zakliče šerif. Kavboja še naprej tepeta nemočnega. Šerif ugotovi, da jih to ne bo ustavilo, zato teatralno ustavi spopad in sočustvujoče svetuje okrvavljenemu in pretepenemu, naj raje zbeži, saj ga bosta druga dva na smrt pretepla. Zgodba celovečernega filma "Na nikogaršnji zemlji" režiserja Danisa Tanovića je postavljena na območje Bosne in Hercegovine, v leto 1993, v čas najhujših spopadov med sprtimi stranmi. Bosanska vojaka, CIKI in CRNI, zaideta na nikogaršnje ozemlje in postaneta žrtvi bombardiranja. Crni nepremično obleži, Ciki pa se zbudi v luknji in začne iskati izhod. Srbi pošljejo izvidnico, ki potrdi, da so vsi mrtvi. Ciki je skrit. V čakanju noči srbski starejši vojak demonstrira postavitev mine pod telo padlega bosanskega vojaka svojemu mlajšemu in neizkušenemu kolegu NINU kot zvijačo starih mojstrov. Ciki izkoristi ugodno priložnost, napade sovražnika in ubije starejšega vojaka. NINA pusti živeti, v tem trenutku pa dojame, da je Crni pravzaprav živ, vendar z mino pod telesom. S srbskim vojakom Ninom začne panično iskati izhod iz neprijetne situacije. Med njima se izmenjujejo dramatični trenutki strpnosti in sovraštva. Oba v neizprosni situaciji mahata vsak svoji strani in iščeta pomoč Unproforja. Sproži se togi mehanizem velike mednarodne vojske, toda velikega interesa za pomoč, kljub obojestranski prekinitvi ognja, ni. Ko pa se vmešajo novinarji, Unprofor kar naenkrat želi storiti vse, da bi rešil ranjene vojake iz luknje … Na nikogaršnji zemlji je zgodba o navadnih ljudeh, porinjenih v vrtinec nacionalnih sovraštev in političnih iger. Je zgodba o človeku v nečloveških situacijah, v katere ga lahko pahne le človek. Film je prežet z ironičnim in ciničnim humorjem ter izvirnimi dialogi, kar je zdravilo za ohranitev normalnosti v situacijah, ko je vse nenormalno. Film bi bil lahko tudi komedija, če ne bi vseboval tragedije ljudi iz teh prostorov. Ironija je prisotna tudi v tem, da so Bosno ubijale med drugim tudi mine, proizvedene v Evropski uniji, hkrati pa jo je hranila humanitarna pomoč iz istih držav. Film s pretkano simboliko kaže vse elemente, ki jih je vsebovala ta vojna, trpljenje narodov, ki so bili pahnjeni v nesmiselno vojno, dvolično Evropo in svet, ki gledata le na svoje interese, ter dejstvo, da ni pomembna resnica, temveč le vroča zgodba za gledalce širnega sveta. In na koncu je vse jasno. Novinarka ima »top story« za cel svet. Polkovnik Unproforja bo še naprej ostal v sedlu, morda bo dobil tudi odličje. Prevara je popolna. Jasno je tudi to, zakaj se je Cikiju zmešalo. In kakšna je usoda Crnega, ki simbolizira usodo Bosancev.
