i come out of dark blue world feeling ( sigh ) o sad yet it be definitely a film need to be make and and it truly well do from czech republic . it entertain in spite of the ad premise . it be full of feeling and the bonding and undeniably true friendship between the two lead character one mature lieutenant pilot ( ondrej vetchý a franta ) and the young and ever so eager budding pilot ( krystof hádek a karel ) and the inevitable love triangle and and the now and then reminder of the grim prison situation in czechoslovakia in the 50 . it all in one film put together and by the father screenwriter and son director team zdenek and jan sverák ( previous achievement be the lovable kolya ) . it not as long a east west ( french est ouest ) 1999 and which be heart wrenching and multi layer story about a return russian doctor and french wife ill fate after wwii in russia . the plot of tmavomodrý svet ( title in czech ) be quite straightforward and have sprinkle of light humor . music and song of wwii england sung in czech and modest special effect of pilot and air craft in the sky not elaborate like hollywood there no need to be bing and bang and boom all the time when show air battle scene . the sadness be explain up front in the beginning ( two paragraph in english ) and wrap up with follow up paragraph . the film be not totally subtitle and only when translate the czech conversations the rest be in english and be it very british or in czech accent . ( so it a foreign film with english language and include british actor . ) the three lead performance and especially of the two czech pilot and be wonderfully deliver . there be nuance between the two of them and even though it the steadily mature vs. the eagerly young . i always appreciate tara fitzgerald represent yes and there brassed off 1996 opposite ewan mcgregor and pete postlethwaite while remember her from hear my song 1991 opposite adrian dunbar and ned beatty while opposite hugh grant in siren 1994 and the englishman who go up a hill and come down a mountain 1995 and besides her appearance in pbs masterpiece theatre mini series . so sad the fact that heroes defend one country can be so ill fatedly treat and for so long ( 40 year ) . thank goodness for worthwhile memory and the imprint of friendship unforgettable . hence the pause for a ray of sunshine through a stain glass window ( ironic or coincidental that it of a church where the hard labor take place ) symbolic of hope and never give up other recent film that have story need to be tell represent kandahar ( with nelofer pazira a nafas the canadian from afghanistan take a journey to kandahar with a personal amission in mind ) more than meet the eye behind a burqa by iranian director mohsen makhmalbaf . everything put together ( with radha mitchell a a new mother face sid sudden infant death ) insightful film by swiss director marc forster and and his much talk about controversial film monster ball ( i have yet to catch ) with halle berry and billy bob thornton and peter boyle . see the film without prior expectation or comparison to film before . just see it .
