I stood in the square at dusk in Prague
Put hope in the Trevi Fountain
The flock of white pigeons had their backs to the setting sun
The picture was so beautiful I couldn't dare look at it
In the minds of young people, the holy place of love and the mysterious and romantic capital - Prague. A song "Prague Square" has made it a place that countless people are fascinated by. However, according to research, there is no "Prague Square" in Prague.
But in Prague Secrets, Prague is still a fascinating place full of secrets. Its picture and sense of rhythm have successfully made me have a real yearning for this city. The story is about the male protagonist and his female companion in Prague to explore treasures. But what matters is not the treasure hunt, but the scenery of Prague.
The whole story begins with an ancient book, which lies quietly in the underground grotto under the Charles Bridge.
Charles Bridge is the oldest and longest bridge in Europe, built in 1357 and completed in 1400, spanning the Vltava River in Prague. The bridge was built on the orders of King Charles IV of the Czech Republic, hence the name Charles Bridge. At both ends are Prague Castle and the Old Town, which were the only way for kings to be crowned and processed.
It is modeled after the Roman Angel Bridge, which is a perfect combination of typical Gothic bridge building art and Baroque sculpture art. At one end of the bridge, a full-body statue of Charles IV stands at the entrance, flanked by Gothic gatehouses with Baroque reliefs.
The 30 statues of the sages on the bridge were first created in the 14th century and as late as the early 20th century. Most of them were written by the famous sculptural artists Brokov, Braun, Joseph and Manuel. It is called by Europeans as "Europe's open-air Baroque sculpture art museum".
The statue of Saint-Jean Neboms, built in 1683, is the most popular on the Charles Bridge. It is said that good luck will come when you touch the two reliefs under the statue. Legend has it that the bishop refused to reveal the contents of the Queen's confession to the king, and the angry king threw him from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River, and above him, above which the river was submerged, 5 brilliant stars miraculously appeared in the sky. Later Saint Jean Neboms was posthumously canonized as a Czech saint. Now these five stars are wrapped around the head of the saint.
In fact, since 1965, all sculptures have been systematically replaced by replicas.
The scene turns. After 15 years, Faust, a blend of reality and romanticism, was once again staged at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.
This building, which represents Czech history and art, is a paradise for lovers of performing arts. At present, classic domestic and foreign masterpieces of opera, drama and ballet are regularly performed here.
The National Theatre allows visitors to visit on weekends and can see works by Ales and other major painters. Sitting in the auditorium, you can see the colorful, evocative curtain and the ceiling decorated with eight paintings of ladies who metaphorically compare various arts.
Lockett Castle, which appears only a few seconds in the film, is also quite famous, it is actually a spectacular prison.
It was once a place where Czech kings and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV used to ride horses and hunt and relax. The Ohre River, which flows through here, forms a curve shaped like a human elbow, hence the castle's name.
The fort's places with horrific sound backgrounds that were once used for torture are available for visitors to visit. Unique porcelain exhibitions, 15th-century romantic watercolor murals, and gardens full of fruit trees, flowers and birds are all about it.
The key deities in the film are eventually hidden in Pozov Castle. It is not the oldest of Prague's many castles, but it is the most mysterious.
The exterior of the castle maintains its remodeled appearance at the end of the 19th century. The project and its alteration plan were built at the request of eugene, Archduke Habsburg and Lord of the Order, and most of the furniture came from the private collection of Eugene, Grand Duke of Habsburg, and partly from the collection of the Teutonic Knights.
The most valuable part of the castle is the Neo-Gothic Chapel, which contains a Gothic altar and the tombstones of the Lords of the Order from 1395 to 1515. The castle's weapons depot is in the castle's original Gothic hall, which now has a weapons exhibition.
"Hitler's Boy", "The Golden Rose Cave" and "Arabella" have all been filmed here.
Those who have been to Prague have left this assessment: saying that it has "a beauty that life cannot bear". The poem reads: "Every detail of the eye conveys a message from afar. Time has stood still, as if turning this street and you will meet the characters in the story."
Just such a short film of more than ten minutes makes people want to go on a walk-and-go trip right away, so is this the charm of Prague or the skill of the director? If you are interested, you can feel it.
