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
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…
