A shortest bio of John Hus, who watched the classic version of 1955 can see the gap between these two versions, somehow the messages is the same, in this picture already begins John Hus arrested at Constance monastery on Germany, when the council of Constance was ongoing, through some many flashbacks he got reminiscences from past years, when he decides to be a priest, preaching on church and becoming the favorite thinker of the Emperor of Bohemia, as hard follower of John Wycliffe, he dares faces the Catholic Church when the clerics were selling indulgencies for wealthy sinners upon large amount of money that could allow to them be accept in the heaven, even staying in the hell, also he enforced performs the holly mass in the native language, instead on Latin as usually, such thing was deemed as blasphemy, also he states that anyone could be get in touch with Jesus itself without any go-between of the Church, he was claimed heretic on trial at Constance, however the Pope was willing to give the amnesty if he denied on public his beliefs, which was promptly refused by the holly man, he was burning on fire on July 06 of 1415, one hundred year ahead on Germany the Church try out make the same with Martin Luther, without any success!!
I enjoyed this film, which I believe was a one-hour bio on the Protestant reformer who predated Luther and the rest by about a hundred years.It's kind of funny watching trained English stage actors play the parts of simple farmers and priests.
