Customer Reviews of Dark Blue World
Uniquely refreshing film from Czech Republic Not having heard of this film when it was overshadowed in general theatrical release by the usual Hollywood offerings, I discovered the joys of DARK BLUE WORLD from the DVD version. What a revelation! Not only is the story fine and more than worth telling (based as it is on fact), but the simple technique that director Jan Sverak uses (and further explains in the enhanced information on the DVD)makes this small movie innovative on many levels. Paying homage to the fact that the story reports the interplay and codependence of the Czech pilots with the British RAF, the film is very naturally told in a combination of Czech and English. So natural is the total presentation that we forget we are watching a "foreign film" and just explore the sensitivity and genuine tale of love and friendship and companionship all heightened by the presence of WWII. The musical score is enchanting, the photography is beautiful, the acting by all the cast is superb (Czechs play Czechs, Brits play Brits and Germans play Germans). Some viewers are putting this little jewel down as a sudsy soap. I am sorry for them. What is so wrong about addressing issues so heart friendly as these in a simple and honest manner? More please.
A very rare flawless war film
Speaking as a war film buff; I can say that this is about as perfect a movie as you are ever going to see. The characters are deep, not stereotyped and completely believable. The acting is top notch, the directing is brilliant, and the cinematography is breathtaking. It is a very real movie with no "ulterior motive" behind it other than telling a powerful story behind the backdrop of WWII. As the director says "it's about men who live by their conscience...about heroism." This is a very multi-faceted movie; not mono-dimensional at all, and produces genuine emotion through characters you can care about and relate too. If that weren't enough, the atmosphere is the best I've seen short of a Spielberg movie. The uniforms, planes, and equipment are all authentic and the characters speak their own language, be it Czech, English, German or French. If you do not choose to buy this then I strongly urge you to rent it--it is the best film I have seen in ages...
Great film
If this film has nothing else, it has possibly the most realistic flight sequences I have seen...beautiful camera work.
The storyline could be considered a bit predictable but somehow, the ending managed to slip by my 'Got this one figured out' radar (don't know how that happened really...must have gotten distracted by the subtitles)
Overall, It makes my top 5 WWII movie list
