Powerful
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
"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.
