Transformations of Miloš Forman's media image in contemporary press
Řápek, Jan ; Šobr, Michal (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is devoted to the changes of Miloš Forman's media image, more precisely how contemporary press perceived both his career and work. Miloš Forman is the most acknowledged and most famous czech film director. His story is connected with story of czech cinematography and story of its changes. The thesis wants to find out, why Forman wasn't defamed even though he left the country, despite his emigration. I am trying to prove that his media image has never been strictly negative and Forman itself never became a taboo. Forman's person is beyond all standards. He is proof, that if the work is not overly crtitical of the regime, it arouses respect despite all the ideology. He was reflected in the various life stages differently, but still in relatively good light. The thesis examines the perception of Miloš Forman by media in three life stages: work in Czechoslovakia before emigration to the United States, working abroad and finally the stage after the Velvet Revolution. Although Forman has participated in many films, this thesis is focused only on his feature-length work. And because Miloš Forman is a person who transcends the borders of Czechoslovakia, or the Czech Republic, media abroad reflected his career as well, although the view there was slightly different from the domestic one.

Music in Czech Movies Made by Milos Forman
Franc, Adam ; Přádná, Stanislava (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ivan (referee)
The thesis deals with a musical aspect in Czech films directed by Miloš Forman. The topic is investigated within a wider context of musical culture of the 1960s as it is focused on analysis of cultural phenomena associated with musical expression which left their impression on Forman's films and participated, to great extent, in specificity of their soundtracks. So the films are not analyzed as separate artifacts, but they are considered as documents affected by the social climate at that time. Common social phenomena which were an integral part of Forman's films are studied such as dancing parties, twist and radio broadcasting. The Forman's cooperation with the Semafor theatre is analyzed as well as how Semafor poetics influenced his films. Jiří Suchý's lyrics and the period hits classified as the medium pop music stream are carefully analyzed as they are an important part of Forman's films. A short outline of the cinematographic context of the 1960s and comparison with films thematically similar help to specify Forman's approach to the music aspect. The collage-like structure of the work highlights a few contradictory trends in pop music of the 1960s whose variety can be seen in Forman's films.
