Jan Neubauer stated that after the invasion in 1968, the film ended up in a vault, while Ján Kadár and the author of the source material, Ladislav Grosman, emigrated. According to him, Elmar Klos stayed, but the regime prohibited him from filming and expelled him from FAMU. According to Neubauer, the film explored fear, cowardice, and the willingness to adapt to evil; these themes, he said, remained relevant even after sixty years. https://t.co/GJhFbTBT5C #film #historie #odvaha (translated)

Led Zeppelin is a former English rock band formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page, after he was the only member remaining from the Yardbirds. Besides Page, Led Zeppelin consisted of Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). One of Led Zeppelin's most famous songs is Stairway to Heaven, a LP track that was never released as a single. The group also became known for improvisations during performances: different versions, making the songs they performed there not identical to how they were released on record, which contributed to the popularity of legitimate white live albums. https://hvdommelen.nl/l/LedZeppelin.html (translated)

Régis de Castelnau, who presented himself as a lawyer, expressed admiration for what he described as a habitual mastery of the language of the petty bourgeoisie of the 19th and 20th centuries. He claimed to have heard the same speech in 1968, during the "student May," then in all the high school movements that he attributed to the PS and, more recently, to LFI. According to him, these mobilizations were led by privileged young people who then accessed comfortable positions, such as deputy, senator, or chief of staff. He added that one or two representatives of these movements were highlighted each time and that the scenario repeated itself. #Politique #Bourgeoisie #Langue (translated)

Press reports stated that a Macronist deputy estimated in *Le Parisien* that it would be difficult to change public opinion after the tragedy in Lens, where a 15-year-old teenager allegedly had his hand blown off by a police grenade, and that the other option would be to give in to the demands. A minister criticized the Minister of Education, Édouard Geffray, for his delay in understanding the situation, questioning the choice of a technocrat for this position. According to *Le Figaro*, intelligence services anticipated a convergence between high school students, parents, teachers, and other groups who felt neglected. Press reports added that the indicators were in the red and that the services observed a growing politicization of the movement, on the eve of planned student marches on Tuesday. *Libération* saw in the degradation of the movement a sign of a gap between political power and society. When asked about the violent nature of the mobilization, sociologist Patrick Vassort responded that it was not necessarily more violent than previous ones and reminded that the student revolts of 1968, 1973, and 1986 also involved violence. #Lycéens #Mobilisation #Violence (translated)
