since grow up in czechoslovakia i be follow history of raf pilot and crew in wwii great britain and their story and tragic end either in the combat or in communist prison and camp . this be without any doubt more than dark chapter in our history and although the fact that those brave men be able to go through all this and recover afterward be amaze . to all people who want to see great movie . this be the one . during recent visit of czech republic i saw this movie three time in three day ( they be just play it for three day . otherwise i will go to see it even few more time . it worth of it . ) i hope you will enjoy it and although it require a little more thinking and knowledge of background information behind the story and pretty much same way that the movie kolya be . it not a simple movie because of it deep story and and the way it tell will most likely make you cry . it do to me three time in row . zdenek sverak do a always a great script and his son jan make a great movie and the cast . without doubt all of them do great job and i be amaze by ondrej vetchy and by great role play by oldrich kaiser and all other actor which make this movie simply great . if this be not an oscar nomination i think that i will be on strike in holywood .
