Watch Walter Defends Sarajevo For Free

Pretty Good

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie is good for one soul purpose, it was a creation of one of the best Bosnian director ever (and Bosnia have Oscar winners directors), Hajrudin Krvavac.Hajrudin Krvavac was real "engine" behind this movie, not main actor Bata Zivojinovic, who was in that time communist regime actor n°1, so any director who created in that time bigger movie in Bosnia or in former Yugoslavia, was ordered by communist regime to take Zivojinovic like main actor. Every movie of Krvavac are pretty watchful, like Most (Bridge), or Partisans Escadrille.Beside Zivojinovic acting performance in that movie was very weak, one of the worst in that movie. Beside in real life, Zivojinovic is opposite from Valter in movie, he is some kind of the fake Valter in real life, he was in 90s in Milosevic's Chetniks party, so real Valter in reality fought Chetniks and those like Zivojinovic, because they were on side of the Axis.Also it is wrong to say that country of origin of this movie is Yugoslavia.Yugoslavia don't exist, it was a communist union created by six countries, and this movie was not financed from Yugoslav budget, but by Bosnia Film from Sarajevo, and majority owner of that movie "house" was Bosnia. So owner of that movie is Bosnia, not Yugoslavia.It was Bosnian movie and Bosnian director. Also Serbo-Croatian language don't exist, it was artificial "language" created 1954 in Novi Sad by Serbian and Croatian communists and imposed by them to all others in former Yugoslavia.This movie languages are Bosnian and German!

Valter was one of, if not the, most admired movie heroes in China. When it was in the theater, I was a 8 years old boy, after the movie, this character is absolutely rooted in my heart. He is the hero for almost one generation of Chinese. Anyway, this movie was shown in 1980, though produced in 1972. I am truly happy to know Valter is still alive. God bless you, Velimir 'Bata' Zivojinovic .Wish you could visit China and our city one day. I am planning to organize a fan club here in Dalian city, we need some movie posters of this Valter movie. Please tell us where to buy it. Thanks.

I am a Chinese of the 60s. Agree with everything my fellow Chinese says. The only other film/TV series close in my opinion is Band of Brothers. Not mentioned above is the fact the beautiful music which is such an integral part of the film. The great thing about the film is they don't picture the Germans as stereotypical demons, which makes it more convincing to the audience. I did some research on Yugoslav's part in WWII and would really like to know more about them. Unfortunately, the materials in Chinese and English are very limited. Really want to know about the musicians but no info on them is available either.Also just found out that all the German officers are played by German actors, which makes it very convincing. What is so pathetic is the hero was only ranked #9 of the best Serbian Actors & Actresses... Just dug out the history between the countries within Yugoslav and I can understand why they don't think that highly of the film like the Chinese do.

the action is non-stop, the plots are perfect. i cannot found any ww2 movie better than this one. the first time i watched this movie in 1976 when i was 6 years old back in china. they keep showing it from 1976-1979. i have never been bored even though i watched it over and over again. i used to memerize all the senarios and scripts. i still want to watch again now i am 30 years old. can anybody help me to get a copy?
