Movies, Music & Media: Student of Prague

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:35:37 GMT

Has anyone ever seen the German film call Student of Prague (1913, Stellan Rye). The writer (autorefilm) was Hanns Heinz Ewers, the principal actor was Paul Wegener, and director was Stellan Rye. This film is noted for its fabulous photography effects; furthermore the fantasy aspect of the film was also a trait of German cinema which climaxed and developed into the German Expressionist period of 1920. Has anyone ever seen this silent movie in its entirety? I just watched a very short clip of it on YouTube.[/i]

Miscellaneous (Czech-Related): RE: If your liveing in the Czech Republic,set me straight....

To start with you do not need to be devout to be a good person or live a good life. To answer your question the age of the person and the region within the country has much to do with it. In Moravia and in the north a fair percentage of people are very devout. In the larger cities much less so.

Certainly a much much higher percentage of Poles are devout Catholics.
I live in the South where I know a few families who attend every week but many places have very low attendance. A few years ago they were talking about bringing Polish priests here as so few Czech males were interested.

Czech's are very proud of their history and many holidays are catholic based but yes a very high percentage are agnostic or atheist
