Manipulation with history in historical Otakar Vávra's movies focusing on the trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo a Osvobození Prahy
Hodura, Pavel ; Knapík, Jiří (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the manipulation of history in the historical film trilogy Dny zrady, Sokolovo and Osvobození Prahy, directed by Otakar Vávra. This thesis tries to define, on the basis of a comparation of historiographical works of the communist and modern historiography, the amount of historical distortion presented in these films. The normalization regime endeavoured to revise the historical knowledge of the second half of the 60s and to resume the tendencies of the communist regime of the late 40s and 50s and attempted to create a myth of perception of mordern national history, in which the positive influence of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the 30s and 40s was emphasized. Moreover, this myth of the perception of history aimed to discredite figures that were unwanted by the regime and to emphasize friendship with the Soviet Union. Films and tv-series were an appropriate tool to form the perception of history among the people.

Criminality in the Film of the Post-1968 Czechoslovakia
Hodura, Pavel ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the depiction of criminality and violence in the film in the post-1968 period in Czechoslovakia called normalization. The topic is closer explored especially in the second half of the 80s. The thesis seeks to demonstrate this phenomenon on three selected films (Pavučina, Bony a klid, Proč?). The social perception of criminality and violence in the film is viewed from the perspective of contemporary media reactions, particularly from professional critics, reviews, and surveys, or from the opinions of viewers. The aim is to determine the image of this phenomenon of criminality and violence in the society by comparing these media outputs.
