English The path to Hussitism as a war movement seemed weaker to me compared to Vávra's Jan Hus, which had bigger ideas and significantly criticized the church. Even the film Jan Žižka is critical, not only of the clergy but even more so of the nobility. Still, it is essentially a revolutionary film that says that it is possible to make a difference through revolution. Hussitism itself did not confirm this. ()
