Final Word from Monday, December 11, 2006
ODS based its reform plans on "The Magnificent Seven," but another western is playing in a cinema nearby. It's a version of "High Plains Drifter," about a man who takes revenge on the people who whipped him and left him for dead. A beaten-up Topolánek drifts from solution to solution until finally joining up with old man Zeman, who wants to take over the local Castle Saloon. By striking a deal with the old devil, Topolánek plans to send the saloon's current proprietor into retirement and to gun down his other enemies, first Paroubek, then Bém. At the last minute, though, a new sheriff, Jiří Čunek, spoils the drifter's plans. Čunek won't have anything to do with a new order dependent on renegades loyal to old man Zeman. And this is where the movie abruptly ends, because the director hasn't yet figured out whether it's in Čunek's character to stick to his guns or to take the drifter's money and run.[Czech Republic KDU-ČSL Clint Eastwood Pavel Bém Mirek Topolánek Miloš Zeman president Václav Klaus presidential elections]
