Havel

I find the idea great. There are signs of really interesting aspects -> like connecting real-life stories with Havel's plays... I love the scenes when for instance the author works in a brewery and suddenly it turns out a play. I think this was really well done (and the connection between drama and life is really important in Havel's story)

on the other side, many scenes we not well developed, often I didnt know which character was who (for instance when Olga slips him the envelope announcing a death of someone.. I didn't get who was it.., or at the end when Dubcek, I reckon, offers to candidate on Havel's behalf. Also, many actors didnt play the role that well, and overall it was not a drama that Havel would deserve (I am big fan of his plays). There were too few scene presenting his quotes, ideas... At the final scene he just raises hand on the balcony... I find it a big shame... a final speech would totaly gradate the story... (I missed gradation of the story throughout the whole movie)

The challenges and decisions of Czech artist/president Vaclav Havel. Great story in terms of understanding (at least having a glimpse of) struggles of Czech people throughout the 70s-90s, and also some cultural values. The film is both biographic and dramatic and this mixed style might not be for everyone, but I found it really tasteful since it's telling the story of a theatre artist first, who seems to cherish his people, and who stands against the dictatorian regime. He's definitely an interesting person, and the movie inspired me to read more of his works as a Czech resident.

Loved the cinematography, the cast and the juxtaposed storytelling manner... and had a good belly laugh at the main man's struggle with his moral uncertainty's.

I just finished watching Havel. I thought it was riveting, moving, intense, honest, and timely. I sincerely hope this film is honored with a well-deserved Academy Award, to be added to any other accolades it should earn.

Create and support and an enemy, fight against it. Make a documentary. Profit. Win. This is sum up of this movie. Nice propaganda, nice try. A lot of people will believe.
