Posljednja volja or The Last Will is a 2001 Croatia n film film director directed by Zoran Sudar and produced by Vicenco Blagai . It is a comedy about a tour guide in small town of Dalmatia , played by Goran Vi nji , who inherited millions from a distant relative in USA only to find himself pursued by professional killers. Posljednja volja was one of the more ambitious Croatian films in the 1990s. It was supposed to be the first Croatian feature film made completely in private production, without state subsidies. It was also supposed to use the charisma of Goran Vi nji and Dalmatia locations to promote Croatian tourism, as well as to encourage American filmmakers to use Croatian locations and film production resources in their future projects. However, the production was hampered by many financial problems, leading to all types of lawsuits. Producers also failed to bring in any major stars from Hollywood other than Angelica Bridges . Although the film finished in 1999, because of the budget constraints, it had to wait until 2001 to be released in Croatian cinemas. It received mixed reviews and anything but spectacular box office numbers.

Siege mentality is a shared feeling of victimization and defensiveness. It is a state of mind whereby one believes that one is being constantly attacked, oppressed, or isolated and makes one frightened of surrounding people. This can cause a state of being overly fearful leading to a defensive attitude. ref cite web url http www.beyondintractability.org essay siege mentality title What the Siege Mentality Is publisher www.beyondintractability.org accessdate 2008 03 05 last first ref Although the term evolved from real siege s, fortress of military defence s, today it may refer to persecution feelings by anyone in a group that views itself as a threatened minority. This can be used in the field of sports, where coaches or managers often create a siege mentality in their players by highlighting an environment of hostility from outside the club whether the hostility is real or exaggerated does not matter . Siege mentalities are particularly common in business, the result of competition or downsizing. Some religious groups may have this paradigm, particularly if they are not traditional mainstream groups. In addition to these sociological applications, this mentality also has political ones. For instance, dictatorships have been known to encourage this point of view among their own people, since it justifies the continuance of those in power. ref citebook title Understanding Korean Politics An Introduction author Soong hoom Kil, Chung in Moon year 2001 publisher SUNY Press isbn 0791448908 page 295 ref An alternative name for this phenomenon is bunker mentality , a phrase used in analogy to soldiers that have taken shelter in a bunker while under siege from enemies. fact date April 2012 See also Isolationism Xenophobia Related psychological behaviours Defence mechanisms can arise when one feels the need to defend oneself while being under siege.
