Talk:Emir Kusturica

Missing link

His linkage to the band "The No Smoking Orchestra" is missing in the text, it is only visible from one image. Chris --80.134.151.130 22:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

About inserting Emir's baptismal name into his full name

If you check out Category:Serbian_people, you will se that Serbs don't write their baptismal name in their full name. So, it is wrong to write "Emir Nemanja Kusturica". "Emir Kusturica" is sufficient. --Dijxtra 08:36, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Objective?

In The Widow of St. Pierre 2000, a movie by director Patrice Leconte, Kusturica, here in his first appearance as an actor, has little in the way of lines, but his eyes and body language speak volumes.

This doesn't seem all that objective to me?

Also, Nikolaidis - the writer who critisized Kusturica - is from Montenegro, not Bosnia.

I fixed the Nikolaidis thing, thanks for pointing that out... and as for the "body language speaks volumes", well dunno, it seems to violate NPOV a bit, but just I don't feel like modifying that sentence :-) --Dijxtra 17:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

A.Nikolaidis is from Bosnia(born there(Sarajevo) in 1974).He went to Montenegro(Ulcinj)with his family(his father's side is originally from Ulcinj,while his mother's side from Sarajevo-Bosnia) in 1992.

Allocation of material

It's pretty ridiculous that close to one half of the article about a world famous director is devoted to what some attention-seeking two-bit columnist had to say about him. Nikolaidis' criticism is worthy of mention but it certainly doesn’t require this much space.Zvonko -- 20:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, he is controversial... and I think the chapter summes up the controversy nicely. But, yes, you are right, more info on other aspects of Kusturica would be nice. It's just I don't know where to get any more info... --Dijxtra 20:52, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Controversial lyrics

Last addition to the article is absurd. The song does not contain the lyrics at all.

I fougth the law

The law fought me

Hey mr sheriff

Where I might be

I might have a fun

In port of Amstredam

I might be a jerk

In City of New York

I might be close

I might be far

I might be a star

Over Kandahar

It's time to say goodbye oh my darling

Save your tears and give a kiss to our son

I hope the Northen star will be shining

I'wanted man and I'am on the run

Inquisition,

human rights division

Soul selling and buying

Cultural revision

Work out Rambo

And get those evil men

It all goes with burgers

Hollywood and CNN

I did a crime

I created fear

I created fear

for a 1000 years

it's time…

If I was a pigon

You made me a falcon

Now I am falcon

over hills of Balkan

if I was a wisper

You made me a thunder

And I wonder and I wonder

Why you made me a thunder

And I wonder still I wonder

You need me a thunder

See me in the pappers

On the bill- board paint

I was a sinner

You made me a saint

It'is time…

The old shepard trick

For his sheep

The wolf as a stick

Makes them sleep

Makes them blind

Makes them sleep

Makes them silent

Makes them sleep

And when I find myself

Locked in prison

Mother mary comes to me

Oh mother Mary who will be

Wanted man instead of me

It's time…
