Jan Palach

This film didn't resonate with me, like, at all. Might be because I'm not proud of being czech, but I just don't see the sense in what Palach did. Hundreds of people were burned alive through the history, and strangely we don't glorify their actions, so why the exception? We'd reach independence sooner or later anyway, so why should we care?

As for the technical side of things, the film was well shot, I just couldn't get myself to care. So it shouldn't be a surprise that I only liked the last 10 minutes. The burning was really well done, I can't even express how well. But that doesn't save the film.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film unless you hold some respect for Palach's actions, which I don't.

....also, it loses a point for Palach drowning those dogs XD.
