Comment on the Romanian lifestyle presented in the movie, 11 September 2007
1/10
Author: ciure_angel from Romania

We are a group of STUDENTS in Transylvania, this is our homeland and we consider this movie an insult and a mockery of our country, people, culture and language. We know the city posted in the movie, and we invite viewers to visit it, before jumping to any conclusions of our lifestyle. I couldn't have helped but to notice the fact that the so-called "transylvanians" lack any technology and civilized means of transportation. This is not so in real life, actually one might find the traffic disturbingly crowded. The traditions pictured, such as the folk march through the center of the town have nothing to do with reality. They are simply a cheap mixture of gypsy, Romanian and Hungarian customs, with no regard to their real meaning or place. The way of dressing in our towns has never been so primitive, it actually rises to European standards and fashion. The restaurants and bars... well... let me put it this way, " Never in my 20 years of life have I seen such miserable places...". The idea of exorcism is ...far-fetched...to put it mildly. I think the director has chosen a very bad name for this movie, and that it is wrong to throw mud at our image, just to suit the scenery of his plot. Even though I doubt that was his intention, we felt deeply offended by the movie. We don't mean to offend, we only want our opinion of the movie, as Romanians to be heard.
