Obituary
PRAGUE (AP) — Czech movie director Otakar Vavra, who made his movies through the turbulent times of the 20th century, has died. He was 100.
The Czech public radio says Vavra died in Thursday in Prague.
Vavra directed some 50 movies from the 1930s, including 12 during the country's Nazi occupation. He continued after the Communists took power in 1948, with "Romance for Bugle" and "Witchhammer" in 1960s considered his best artistic achievements. But his critics say some of his movies were too close to the Communist ideology.
Vavra helped established Prague's FAMU film school in 1950s. Famed Czech directors Milos Forman and Jiri Menzel were among his students.

It serves his memory well that his ideology was more in line with communism ,than that of fascism. RIP to a great filmmaker.

we will miss otak. many times we would go to hat shows and then trade them over the years. our camping trips were infamous and he bought my 63 pontiac after he drove it into a river. i liked that car a lot. eventually i replaced it with a new corvette that i later sold to an arab fellow who owned a mexican restaurant. odd mix. i never bought another corvette. i dont know if the arab guy did or not.

(Ecclesiastes 3:1) . . .For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens:
We all need to be taught, and Otakar Vavra was a leader in his field of film. It's sad to see such a wealth of knowledge pass away, he has indeed left a Legacy to remember, Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in the heart of a man, but the counsel of Jehovah is what will stand."
Otakar is remembered...

70 years is our life span and 80 years with special mightiness. (Psalm 90:10) Otakar has been blessed with 100 years of special mightiness.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
