Tourist trips to the past
25 August 2011
In the 1990's people are able to make tourist trips to the past (if only).A group of aging Nazis, who are taking some pills to stay young, want to take advantage of that.They plan to travel back to 1944 (only they end up in 1941) and hand Adolf Hitler a hydrogen bomb.That way he would win WWII.Time travel pilot Karel Bures has been bribed to help them.But then Karel dies.He chokes on a croissant.And his twin brother Jan becomes him.Will he be able to stop the evil plan of these nasty Nazis? Or will the world suffer from Hitler's Thousand Year Reich? Jindrich Polák's Zítra Vstanu a Oparím Se Cajem (1977) is quite funny time travel movie.Its English title is Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea.Petr Kostka plays both Jan and Karel Bures.Jirí Sovák plays Klaus.Kraus is played by Vladimír Mensík.Valerie Chmelová plays Helena.I saw this movie on TV last night.I haven't seen too many Czechoslovakian movies in my life, but when I read the plot of this one, I just had to see it.The whole time travel theme has always fascinated me, ever since I saw Back to the Future.It's most enjoyable to watch those time travelers telling Hitler, and showing him some moving image, of how he will lose the war.Czechoslovakian time travel movie doesn't get too much better than this.
