The Czechs have a sense for the human and the gently ironical in their movies. The internationally well-known films they made in the 60s are a witness to that.

The Assassination from 1965 is one of the most accurate war movies ever made. The assasination was shot at the exact same location where the real event happened in 1942. The church where the paratroopers were hidden is also the same one in the movie.

The church was filmed only from the outside, from the inside it was a backdrop

It is very authentic, but not so accurate and it gave a birth to myth that Gabčík crossed the way of tthe Heydrich's car.

@@spapanek1 It it funny because they already knew it was an inaccuracy when they shot the movie. They just wanted to make the scene look cinematically cooler. The fight in the church is also more action like than in reality for the same reason. They did not have any sub machine guns.

@@kkarx jj, I saw the movie about with director Sequens and the actors. But still it is sad that he chose that approach and everyone use it since...

Thank you. You very rarely see Czech hardship being promoted internationally. These are very good reasons why Czechs are so Cynical as they are. Also remember even by Germans back in WW2 Czech have been called as laughing beasts. Being heart of Europe is not easy thing

I've watched a lot of Russian war movies for language practice. I love watching these movies that give you different perspectives and experiences of other countries during that era. When I was a kid, I lived in then West Germany during the Cold War and the Iron Curtain. In kindergarten it was Czechoslovakia. After I was just fresh out of highschool, it became Czech Republic and Slovakia. I remember when one of my friends had relatives in the DDR. When they mailed parcels, they were not allowed to wrap anything in newspaper.

Thanks a lot for this one. It is always great to see that there are still people appreciating Czech soldiers and movies about them. One film I would suggest is one called ,Nebeští jezdci" Ryders in the sky. About Czech bombing squad. Really touching movie showing what it was like to go on raids for your country from another one. It is old, yet it brings a lot of understanding how difficult it was for the young men.

Riders in the sky 1968 is the best, although my grand father was in Tobruk in 1943 during their AAA mission there

Closely Watched Trains from 1966 is excellent. It's not a combat film, so it's closer to something like I Served the King of England, than Dark Blue World.

Good stuff all around. One comment you make early on is inaccurate, though: the USSR never "annexed" Czechoslovakia (as Germany did in 1939). It was a sovereign state after WWII but fell under Soviet domination by 1948.
@zlatanclovecic194411 ай бұрын
It's also not exact. We were sovereign on paper, but in reality the government was taking orders from Moscow, having very little space for a trully sovereign policy. After Stalin's death the government started slowly divert from direct Moscow's orders to at least partially independent policy which led to Prague Spring in 1968 and Soviet's occupation the same year.

A movie with the same setting as 'I served the king of England' but darker and more artistic is 'spalovac mrtvol' or the cremator. it is quite interesting and psychological.
