Human Relationships in American and Czech Films
Human Relationships in American film “The Royal Tenenbaums” and Czech film “Loves of a Blonde”.
The films always can teach us and can be a good example of people’s life, in addition to their art importance. So, for instance, we can see the models of human relationships and behavior. At the course “Human relationships in American and Czech films” we have underlined the common differences between American and Czech cultures. That is why I want to compare the main characters of American film “The royal Tenenbaums” (2001) Margot Tenenbaum and Czech “Loves of a blonde” (1965) Andulka.

There is a question, do the main characters have too different tempers and expectations from their relationships with other people because of different cultures or do they have something in common?
“The Royal Tenenbaums” is about family relationships. It was the family of geniuses, because every child had a great talent, but after parent’s divorce there were many offences and misunderstandings.

Margot Tenenbaum is an adopted daughter. She is a talented dramatist, but after performance of her play, which was not appreciated by her father, Margot didn’t write anymore.
Andulka is a girl from a small town. At the party she meets Milda, pianist from Prague. She sleeps with him and after that she decided, that it can be real relationship. That is why she came to Prague, to his parents’ apartment. But she understood that there is no place for her, and for Milda it was just sex for one night.
It goes without saying, that Margot and Andulka should be compared in three ways: their relationships with family, their characters, which were in part formed by
