Synopsis

Watch: Parada 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – A homophobic, middle-aged, Serbian gangster ends up sacrificing himself to protect Gay freedom in his country. RADMILO (35) and MIRKO (30) are young and successful gay couple, and they would be a happy couple anywhere else except in – Serbia. They try to live discreetly but still, every day they are abused by the homophobic majority. Plus, Mirko is a gay rights activist, and his dream is to organize the first successful PRIDE event in Belgrade. This is almost a “mission impossible”; in 2001, an attempt to hold PRIDE in Belgrade ended up in bloodshed. One decade later, the situation is not much better – nationalist and neo-Nazi organizations prepare another massacre in case of holding the gay parade, while the police refuse to provide protection for the participants. A strange couple arrives in Radmilo’s and Mirko’s life – LEMON (45) an ex criminal and war veteran, the owner of a small security company and his fiance – PEARL (30) a beauty parlor owner. Radmilo, a successful veterinarian, performs a life-saving operation Lemon’s pit-bull terrier, the victim of a drive-by shooting that served as a warning to the dog’s master. Mirko runs an agency that organizes sophisticated weddings and now he has the ultimate nightmare clients – Pearl and Lemon. The encounter between these two worlds ends in disaster – yet another humiliation for Radmilo and Mirko. Mirko had enough – not long ago he received Immigrant Visa from Canada and wants to leave the country forever. Radmilo is ready for a desperate measures to keep his partner and their relationship – He offers a deal to Lemon, asking that Lemon’s agency provide protection for the Belgrade Pride. In return, Mirko will organize the wedding party for Pearl and Lemon. Lemon reluctantly accepts, but his staff refuses to protect homosexuals. Put in a tight spot, Lemon thinks of his “dear” enemies from the ex-Yu wars. LEMON and RADMILO embark on a recruiting trip all over ex-Yugoslavia. They manage to sign up for their mission: NIKO (45) a Croat war veteran, HALIL (40), a Bosnian Muslim, and AZEM (45), an Albanian from Kosovo. But the handful of “samurai” are yet to face their greatest challenge… THE PARADE, in a tragicomic way, tells the story about ongoing battle between two worlds in contemporary post-war Serbian society – the traditional, oppressive, homophobic majority and a liberal, modern and open-minded minority..

Well meant, crowd pleasing, yet riddled with clichés
‘Parada’ was the most popular film in the Berlin Festival this year, bagging both audience awards yet not the LGBT ‘Teddy Award’. That illustrates both its strength and weakness as a film: intended to induce a positive image about homosexuals in a non-gay audience, it does an admirable job in combining drama and comedy, tears and laughs. Yet at the same time, the gay characters are so terribly cliché that, in a different setting, they could be also used to narrate a viciously homophobic story.

That this is not the case is due to the scriptwriting talents of Srdan Dragojevic, who makes every single character, gay or not, a walking cliché of ex-Yugoslavia. The ex-militia gangster, tattooed all over with battle reminders around bullet wounds, resorting to protecting a gay pride march at the behest of his ‘slut-with-a-golden-heart’ fiancée, is about as credible as the effeminate wedding planner insisting on organizing the pride in spite of organized acts of violence by a group of nationalist skinheads lead by, as it turns out, the gangster’s son. Add to this the soft-hearted vet who saves his dog and turns out to be the wedding planner’s partner, with whom the gangster embarks on a journey through ex-Yugoslavia to enlist the help of other ex-soldiers, who, for reasons not sufficiently explained, became his friends while being his enemies at the same time… the plot is indeed as convoluted and incredible as this summary sounds like.

Yet Dragojevic’s writing constantly adds jokes and situational comedy, he reveals himself here to be indeed the creator of the beloved classic ‘We are no Angels’. The eclectic mix between comedy and drama makes this pretty much a must-see, as does the tremendous success ‘Parada’ enjoyed at home and in its festival run. Just don’t expect any real portrayal of gay life in the Balkans; having been born in Romania, I fully understand that for a homosexual in Belgrade, this film must come rather as an offense than a relief. Yet as one cannot explain quantum theory in primary school, the clichés in this film are probably a necessary evil: you have to work with what people already (believe to) know in order to educate them and change their attitude. If this film succeeds in making cliché gays more acceptable in the mainstream, then maybe this will color off into a broader acceptance of the fact that the public knows very little about homosexuality and therefore has no reason to feel threatened by it; in that case ‘Parada’ would have done its job of opening minds, aside of being a pretty entertaining experience.

Good one
I think that movie is very helpful, because it deals with all “Serbian problems” with humor. It’s emotionally heavy and deep story, but also very comical – which is the only way, in my opinion, that can change someone’s beliefs, or at least, make people think about the situation around here. Movie as a movie is very good and interesting, and it awakes emotions of happiness and sadness. Plot is, in the least, hilarious. It is about very serious topics and issues, which we, as a people, created on our own. Prejudice that we create, everyone of us, whether we are Serbs, gay, straight, Albanians, Croats, Bosnians or someone else . Maybe one of the best movies of Srdjan Dragojevic.
