  Sverak is a good film maker- and the Spitfires were wonderful too see (Sverak admitted he had them do a few passes without the cameras rolling because they loved to see them in flight).

  A good film about heroism, innocence and friendship, with a rather sad ending.

    This film is the other side of the great Ernst Lubitsch,To Have or not to Have,in a very special way. The real bad ending of this film is the take over of the communism on the land.The women are beautiful so are the men.
    It is a lot more than a documentary on war plane,it has the kind of humanity you so sorely miss,on this fake Hollywood films.
    Look at the pictute of the boys on this film and on , say,Pearl Harbour.. one is living the other dead, flat like an egg in the saucepan.Well directed & well played,it is an hommage and so I will keep it in my mind.

    Good film, but I thought where Kolya simply told a simple story, this one attempted to go further, without being too prepared.

    I loved the Spitfires, and the whole story about the brave struggle of the British, whipping badly the Luftwaffe's ass, is too important to anyone familiar with the Battle of Britain to not resonate strongly.

    In some sense, to me that became like a sun blinding you of the rest of the story.

    While I always separate the story from the means, there were several weak moments that I found distracting. On the other hand, it also had several rather interesting touches to more than compensate for these.

    I love the fact Sverak is there making movies like that, he is a talented guy who will learn to do it even better.

    I presume by sad ending you mean Karel's death...
