Eventual authoritarian in Czechoslovakian
9 April 2024
(1969) All My Good Countrymen/ Vsichni dobrí rodáci (In Czech with English subtitles) WAR DRAMA/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Produced, written and directed by Vojtech Jasný which it opens after WWII that showcases two young boys rummaging through a pile of weapons presumed to be left behind until they found a pair of hand guns the boys liked and begin to play with them. We then meet a somewhat of an overweight man, Lithby going through other piles of abandoned war stuff, and he happens to help himself to some of those items, and upon him driving home, he is then gets shot at from the two boys. Shooting off the hat he had on his head, he replaces it with another one. We are then introduced to a tailor, Franta Lampa (Václav Babka) tending to his gardening until we then see those two young boys again targeting him. And after he was being shot at, he then manages to catch up to them and grab their pistols from them. These are some of the eccentric characters from this particular village including a delivery postman, Frantisek (Radoslav Brzobohatý) who is often making out with his love interest (Vera Galatíková) to which they would evntually get married down the line. It is the start of a small glimpse of what a little war can lead toward authoritarian to which laws are imposed toward others without realizing it.

Denounced by Russian that can be a good thing except that some of the singing scores are not too inspiring.
