One of the great ones
To the reviewer that said he'd rather watch an episode of 'Happy Days' to this great film perhaps should do just that, as this film is obviously out of his league. It didn't have the slapstick comedy, grim violence or juvenile one-liners that characterize most of what passes as entertainment.Having lived many years in Eastern Europe, with it's intellectual standards it's hard to believe that this is an American film. It is a masterpiece. The more subtle is becomes, the more passions are evident. It is a story within a story withing a storym, and maybe too much for many to appreciate for it's deep texture and vibrant characterization.Well written, excellent acting, superb photography. This one grows on you. I'e watched it three times (not for the sex scenes, which are mature themes, but tasteful). Having had a Soviet rifle pointed into my face, I can understand that courage and patriotism the Czechs expressed in 1968 and their feeing of being alone at that time.Bravo, this is one of the best films of the last century.
