Sad news for the film industry: Milos Forman, one of greatest Czech film directors, died at 86
**Hi everyone,**

I usually focus on positive news related to my homeland, the **Czech Republic**, but today, I have to make an exception and dedicate this post to something that saddened millions of people all over the world.

**Milos Forman**, a prominent Oscar-winning film director, died on Friday, April 13, at the ripe age of 86. Born in former Czechoslovakia in 1932, Forman was one of the most renowned and popular Czech film directors of all time. He lived and worked in his homeland until 1968 when he moved to the U.S. Just seven years later, in 1975, he rose to the world fame with his Hollywood blockbuster *“One Flew over the Cuckoo´s Nest”*, a comedy-drama starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher.

*Source: The Irish Times*


Considered one of the greatest movies to have ever been made, *“One Flew over the Cuckoo´s Nest”* became only the second film in history to win all of the top five Academy Awards categories (the first one was the 1934 comedy *It Happened One Night*). In 1984, Forman won his second Oscar for his period drama *Amadeus*, followed by numerous prestigious awards such as the Golden Globe, Berlinale, European Film Academy, Cannes and many more. 

Acclaimed by film critics and loved by film fans, Milos Forman was one of the greatest figures of the film industry and it is a huge honor for us Czechs that he came from our country. 

Rest in peace Mr. Forman, and thank you for your outstanding contribution to the film world. You will never be forgotten.

last year the renowned film director of the Sub-Continent Yash Chopra left us and two days ago the finest director of the 20th century **Milos Forman** left the film industry alone. Milo's contribution in the film industry deserve massive respect because it changed the whole scenario of cinema world through his ever green directions. 
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Hair (1979) are also the essence of the film industry.  
Dear Milos Forman you are not only the loss of the #czechrepublic rather you belong to whole world. We shall miss you :( :(
>Rest in peace Mr. Forman, and thank you for your outstanding contribution to the film world. You will never be forgotten.

Indeed death of Milos Forman is a sad news for millions of his lovers and followers not only in US & Czech Republic but all around the World. Unfortunately death is the ultimate reality of this world. One come in this world have to go back. He was a pride of Czech Republic with his talent he brighten the name of Czech Republic by winning the title of Oscar twice. Great achievement by great director. May God give patience to his relatives & followers. Rest in Peace

"Amadeus" is masterpiece. I remember it was very difficult to find tickets for the movie...Of course, "One Flew over the Cuckoo´s Nest” is another legendary film. Such a brilliant role by Jack Nicholson. Lunetic Asylium where doctors are crazier than patients...

One of the all-time best directors. Sad to see him go. Seeing “Amadeus” in 70 mm in 1984 was one of the greatest cinema experiences I have ever had.

I am astonished to hear about Miloš Forman's death from Steemit before anywhere else, being Czech it tells a lot about how much time I spend absorbing mainstream media.. ZERO apparently :D

@czechglobalhosts he deserves a bit longer post than that tho! 

He is one MF good filmmaker and always entertaining and inspiring to watch in interviews.. Son of a gun :D as Michael Douglas used to call him..
He was one of the roughly 80 000 people who exiled from our country after it has been invaded and occupied by USSR's Red Army and Warsaw pact armies in response to and a bitter end to freedom filled days of Prague Spring.. 1968..  
After a year passed the frontiers closed shut for the next 20 years and whoever left the country, wouldn't have had a great time returning to normalized totalitaritarian Czechoslovakia under USSR occupation..
.. a new beginning for Mr Forman.. who as I'm only now learning was an orphan to victims of Holocaust..
Strong fate..

SO many great movies that came out of this man's imagination and hard work of his and his team..
Besides the obvious  _One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest_  , _Hair_  and _People vs. Larry Flint_, he gave us _Amadeus_ an almost 3 hour long epic journey into life of unique and controversial genius W.A.Mozart was and the never changing human values/weaknesses .. Hair one that I never saw.. but definitely one of my favourite was _Man on the Moon_ with Jim Carrey in the lead role.. 
Portraying life of Andy Kaufmann, a comedian to the core :D who doesn't stop poping jokes, not even on his own funeral..  a must watch!

He portrays inspiring life stories filled with purpose, humour, sadness, music, love, human weaknesses and always great characters one can really  get into..  his films have everything.. 


Wow, writing this I'm really inspired to complete watching his work now.. to fill the gaps in education :D
Thank you Miloš Forman ! Not that many people make me proud to come from the same country and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that here.. alive in our hearts and minds forever!


Thanks for the post! Also it's nice to find fellow Czech here on Steemit  and a big fish too! Was wondering if there is somebody like you here :D
Zdar ! !
