In the 1960s, when this region was still known as the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, it was also a point where the absurdist went from its heyday to its decline. Looking back at this historical location is absurd enough in itself. The first appearance was until the end, the former director who had cancer, although he was supposed to be the real protagonist of the whole dance, was left behind by all the farce supporting actors, holding the empty box with the golden axe that had been stolen....

It's short but complicated. Several things are intertwined in 70 minutes. This narrative efficiency is really worth thinking about by many big directors today. The group portraits and individuals are well described, and the firefighters, girls, guests, and even the venue have photographed them. It is not the kind of touchy-feeling, but the one that hits the nail on the head. Even if you don't think about whether it's reflecting or insinuating what it is, it's a movie worth pondering over. At...

The part of flogging the bureaucracy is not shocking, it just makes people feel stupid, ridiculous and stubborn. . . What really makes people feel chilling are those ordinary people in the dance. Those people who steal things, greedy for cheap, watch jokes, and make jokes are the most terrible existences in a certain society. There is no sympathy and kindness in this kind of society. , humane and loving, because they are taught not to need these things, this kind of society makes a real mob. ....

Miloš Forman's second Oscar nomination and the last work before he left the Czech Republic, to say that the old man was exiled because of this film is almost the same as Shen Deqian's writing "Capturing Zhu's non-orthodox alien species, also known as the king" by Qianlong. Injustice. The film's satire on the corruption and incompetence of the Communist bureaucracy and the display of the miserable life of the people are both simple and profound....

It is basically a film that wins with ideology. I learned from C that it has his style. It's the kind that doesn't get stuck on the theme, doesn't mean to impose, let you experience it yourself, and the style of those who are willing to take the bait. In particular, his control over the whole film makes recall a must. Once again, I experienced the deep political intentions in the Czech film. It's kind of funny to see Milos Foreman talking about the bad ethos of socialism at the time with a...
