      immature but very interesting

      This one is better than the Wingless Sparrow. It's also playful abuse, this one is easier and less competitive.
      The second half feels better than the first half. The beginning of the first half is wonderful, it's hard to imagine that it was a work from the 1960s. But the part after the beginning of the first half is a bit verbose. Many things are not explained clearly. For example, the matter of premature ejaculation is not understood, if not mentioned several times later. It's still an...

      Worldly wishes and heroic ideals

      Because I have read Hellabar’s "Too Loudly Lonely", I suddenly wanted to see what the film was adapted from his novel of the same name, "The Train Under Close Surveillance". It happened that my friend’s collection of movies was so abundant that this wish was made possible. accomplish.
          Milo in work clothes is very thin. Even though his family has a legend, he always wants to be a hero like his grandfather, using magic to block the invading tanks-even if it is only three minutes in...

      Gracious obstacle

      The day before yesterday, I had a gathering with two friends, chatting endlessly about the ocean and the sky. Somehow, I came up with a topic: obstacles. A friend said that he used to be very afraid of talking with people. This fear of talking will rise to physical discomfort. If he is in a crowd, he will feel short of breath. Another friend said that she used to be very sensitive to pollen. In the weak growth stage, the skin lesions brought by pollen once cast a heavy haze on her thin youth....

      Ostre sledované vlaky

      During the Second World War, the German Nazis ignited the war into the Czech Republic, and there was a lot of gunpowder. However, in a certain rural railway station in the Czech Republic, there is a group of optimists who have nothing to do with themselves and hang up high. The stationmaster Marx (Vladimír Valenta), who is flattering and loves to raise pigeons, Hubic (Josef Somr), who is romantic, and Zannik (Vlastimil Brodský), who is thinking about fooling around with Hubic, and shy The...

      Put the narrow in the other big

      It seems to be the first time, the long-awaited movie finally didn't let me down.
      The film is good, the script is too big a premise. Combining the growth of people in the context of war, constantly overlapping and insinuating each other, the rhythm is advancing smoothly with slight fluctuations, and tension is always maintained without too much effort.
      The most classic thing, besides the meaning of premature ejaculation, is the long shot that constantly stamps the official seal on the...

      Czechs aren't just giggling animals, and Milos isn't just an introverted, sexually dysfunctional train dispatcher. ..."You know I'm a man, and I'm going to try to prove that I'm not who I used to be...

      The Czech film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1968. Describes several small people, small lives and small humors in the country railway station. Probably because of cultural differences, individual plots are not well...

      8.5, absurd comedy, a bit boring, full of metaphors, humor and satire. If you don't know history, it may not be easy to understand. As far as comedy is concerned, it is not as interesting as Sweet Homeland, but I still like it very much, respectable premature ejaculation...

      Avoiding the important is light, and if you want to promote it, you should suppress it first. Such an understatement of small ease does not seem to be suitable for the background of war. However, it is this kind of ingenious design that makes the theme and the protagonist truly intimate and touching. A better-looking movie than all the big...

    Evaluation action

    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...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Milos Hrma: My name is Milos Hrma. People often laughed at my name. But ours was a famous family. Great Grandfather Lukas was a drummer and fought on the Charles Bridge in Prague. The students threw cobblestones at the soldiers and hit Grand Grandfather so hard that he was pensioned off on one gulden a day. He didn't do anything after that except buying a bottle of rum and a pack of tobacco every day.

    • Milos Hrma: I'm Milos Hrma. I've tried to kill myself because I'm suffering from premature ejaculation. But that's really not so. Even though I flop every time, I'm a real man.

    • Milos Hrma: I cut myself off from the past entirely. Just like that.
