Very Cool!!!
The Age of Commercialism
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
"Lude Godine" or "Foolish Years" was a daring attempt to make a teen consciousness film. It's main target was the high school population, which deals with questions of love and sexual relations for the first time. As such, it was something new and promising.The story of "Lude Godine" revolves around two teenagers, Boba and Marija, who will face the serious issues of teen pregnancy, abortion and the impact left on their families and friends. It's tough going, with many hard decisions and questions, but just like in real life, serious issues urge serious solutions. They will resolve them until the end, but there will be a price to pay. The film is predominantly made as an educational content, and it delivers a powerful message. "Lude Godine" was a promising title, one of the first of it's kind. Unfortunately, the social aspect was soon dumped, and the sequels that followed watered this concept into a yucky comedic trash, which found it's embodiment in the "Zikina Dinastija" series of films.
