Knowing nothing about Czech history, I was eagerly awaiting to view this saga about Jan Zizka, a hero of the 15th century, fighting for freedom. Expecting a brilliant show is not what I got. Starring some well-known actors, but most others completely unknown to me, did not help. The spoken English by non English speaking actors was difficult to understand what they were saying and the story was most confusing. It concerns a numbers of bands of badies and goodies running around in the forest bashing each other whenever they met, but the viewer has no idea who is who. The impression I got was the film being a symbolic presentation of what had been endured in this century with gospel type of music throughout the show. Apparently the movie makes sense if you know this history.
