The film seems to be a serious revolutionary theme: the heroic deeds of a new young man on the train station in a small Czech town during World War II blowing up the German munitions train, but the screenwriter is undoubtedly smart: this young man was because of obstacles in the early night with his girlfriend. However, he was ashamed to cut his wrist and commit suicide but was rescued. His motive for sacrificing his life and bombing a car was also very simple-his illness was cured by a mature woman sent by the resistance organization to deliver explosives. In addition to the cleverness of the screenwriter, photography also contributed to the fact that the story of the boy growing up into a man avoided bluntness and dullness. As a black-and-white film, the richness of the description and expression of different tones is no less than that of color film. It even overcomes the common disadvantages of 35mm film that the resolution is too good and the focus is too clear, so the soft feeling of the picture is gone.   .
In "Ostre Sledovane Vlaky", Jirí Menzel takes serious issues with erotic jokes, satirical Nazis, and purely absurd scenes in a mixed style that goes a step further. In a free and ambiguous atmosphere of modern movies, Jirí Menzel focused on the complex causes of personal behavior, especially the complex relationship between sex and personal personality, self-confidence growth, using a Freudian psychology of modernity The angle completes the narrative of the entire film. Bringing the important principles established by the neo-realist film after World War II to an extreme shift in style  .

    Erie Manzo's masterpiece, 1968 Oscar for best foreign language film. 1. Adapted from the Herabal novel of the same name, the painful and boring wartime past is displayed in soft and playful brushstrokes. It is full of black humor and deconstructs the heroic myth about resistance to war: a depressed virgin who cut his arms in a brothel. After completing the rite of passage for sex, he finally gave his life for the country without hesitation. 2. The film always juxtaposes sex with nationality/war, just like that side station seal, which is not only stamped on the German combat map, but also on the body of the female station crew, and the men and women in the photo studio are on the plane. The kissing pose, after a night of unsuccessful rain, the photo studio was suddenly blown into ruins the next day. 3. Before the two kissed, the female conductor was taken away by the moving train, but the comic-style opening of the film echoed the sad ending-Milo left with the train and died together. 4. Germany's characterization of the "seal incident": insulted and belittled the German language, facing the smiling girl, Milo turned around and left without going back. In the dust after the explosion, everything seemed so absurd and cruel. (8.5/10)

    10-9 points. Pretty good movie, I especially like the cinematography. Be prepared to turn out the original novel and read it for a while, and then revisit it and feel it again.
