      There's nothing wrong with this life

      A small man who is not handsome but very interesting; a poor boy who has no great talent but dreams of becoming a rich man. It seemed that God had especially favored him, turning his weakness into a blessing. He was supposed to live like dust for a lifetime, and then he was envied by his legendary life in the most dilapidated cabin. "I Served the King of England" tells the story of such a little man. It's a bit magical, a bit outrageous, but still quite enviable.

      One after another,...

      It might be better to change the hero

      I bought it without reading the introduction carefully. I thought it was a court movie, and I could see the decadent life of the upper class that I have always yearned for. After reading it, I realized that it is a Czech film based on the novel of the famous Czech writer Bohumil Hrabar. Before, I only knew that football is a weak country in Europe, but now I know that Europe is also a country without weakness in movies. The sharp-edged personality in the movie cannot be imitated by Hollywood...
