movie reviews
Hive (Hive)’ is a historical, warlike and family drama by the first-time Albanian-Kosovar director Blerta Basholli, in which a selfless mother must raise her children, following the authorities consider her husband dead in the War from Kosova. Tragic Central European history, which in a way refers us to the current situation in Ukraine, invaded by Russia. A country that, in some way, considers itself the innocent victim of global hatred and conspiracies perpetrated by a whole series of peoples and nations. The West can admit its mistakes, Russia cannot. Many in the world have learned for whom the bell tolls, the Russians have not.
No, they still have their eyes fixed on his immutable ideas and on his more than 20 million deaths during World War II. Much of humanity awaits its Messiah, but for the Russians their Messiah is not the Prince of Peace, but another Aleksandr Nevski, perhaps another Stalin. It is obvious that a people cannot be reformed if it is not from within. The princes of liberty have always written in other languages. All men are equal: “Liberty, equality, fraternity.” In Russia there are the ideas of Marx: «proletarians unite under chains». But Marx was German-Jewish. In short, if this ‘Hive’ manages to interest the general public, hunky-dory.
