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 era. Before the emergence of the Nazis, I didn't know which era was the story. Maybe the Czechs know what era they are from by looking at the clothes. Seeing his grandfather dying to hypnotize a tank thought it was a post-WWII story. When the Countess appeared, she did not know what era it was. I don't know much about Czech history. There is also the place where the boy committed suicide, which I didn't see was a brothel, I thought it was a hotel. After the boy committed suicide, the back became smoother. Shouldn't this be the director's debut?
I like this kind of absurdity. Doctrine, beliefs, heroes, ideologies, etc. are shit! I like this view.
The movie was released in 1966, and the Soviet army invaded the Czech Republic in 1968...
The era of the movie was not as strictly controlled as it was later. The Winged Sparrow was much like us back then.
After watching this movie, it may not be that difficult to tell a story. The key is to see what is being said. Several erotic scenes in the movie are beautifully shot, especially the stamped one.
Lots and lots of nice shots and omissions. The webmaster is going to flirt with the dispatcher's cousin. His wife was calling him for dinner. The next shot is already drinking soup.
A nurse's train stopped at a small station, and the protagonist, who couldn't help but hesitated, ran over to see it. The composition squeezes people into the sides below half of the frame. Hesitating to swing over and hesitating to walk away. Later, the scene of a group of German soldiers coming over was a little tighter than the protagonist.
The protagonist goes to the station master's wife, and the station master's wife is feeding the duck, following the duck's neck. The protagonist was pressed under the picture frame again, only his head was exposed, and there was a stone door frame above it.
Favorite movie, ridicule, teasing, mocking tone can be seen everywhere.
It seems that the novel should be found and read.

Closely Watched Trains quotes

  • Milos Hrma: Great grandfather Lukas instead of staying home he went to see the workers and made fun of hard working men, so every year grandpa Lukas would get beat somewhere. And in 1930 great grandfather boasted in front of stone cutters whose quarry had just been closed and they beat him so badly he died.

  • [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.
