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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

Incvisition, human rights division Soul selling and buying Cultural revision Work out Rambo And get those evil man It all goes with burgers Hollywood and CNN

I did a cryme 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 Ad 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… 65.94.132.77 19:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
