<\/a><\/p>\nVra\u0165me se k\u00a0majoru Zemanovi. Co v\u0161echno tato postava musela spl\u0148ovat?<\/p>\n
Samoz\u0159ejm\u011b musel b\u00fdt d\u011blnick\u00e9ho p\u016fvodu a\u00a0\u010dlenem KS\u010c, to byl z\u00e1kladn\u00ed k\u00e1drov\u00fd profil. A\u00a0pochopiteln\u011b prok\u00e1zal kriminalistick\u00fd talent. D\u00edky t\u00e9to kombinaci pak ud\u011blal rychlou kari\u00e9ru. Po \u00fanoru 1948\u00a0nastoupil do Bartolom\u011bjsk\u00e9 ulice na pra\u017eskou krimin\u00e1lku a\u00a0n\u00e1zorov\u011b pevn\u00fdm posl\u00e9ze z\u016fstal i\u00a0v krizov\u00e9 dob\u011b okolo roku 1968\u00a0\u2013 co\u017e byl tak\u00e9 jeden z\u00a0d\u016fle\u017eit\u00fdch ideologick\u00fdch akcent\u016f.<\/p>\n
Tv\u016frci se a\u017e pom\u011brn\u011b ne\u010dekan\u011b velkoryse rozhodli za\u0159adit do seri\u00e1lu pr\u00e1v\u011b toto takzvan\u00e9 krizov\u00e9 obdob\u00ed, v\u011bnuj\u00ed se mu hned ve t\u0159ech d\u00edlech. Nav\u00edc se pokusili vyl\u00ed\u010dit pra\u017esk\u00e9 jaro jako spiknut\u00ed z\u00e1padn\u00edch slu\u017eeb, jako dlouhodob\u00fd pl\u00e1n na rozpout\u00e1n\u00ed kontrarevoluce v\u00a0socialistick\u00e9m \u010ceskoslovensku. <\/p>\n
To nem\u011blo ve sv\u00e9 dob\u011b obdoby, proto\u017ee filmov\u00e1 a\u00a0televizn\u00ed tvorba se probl\u00e9mu \u201ekrizov\u00e9ho v\u00fdvoje\u201c sna\u017eila sp\u00ed\u0161e vyh\u00fdbat. Pra\u017esk\u00e9 jaro se stalo tabuizovan\u00fdm t\u00e9matem, snahou bylo se k\u00a0n\u011bmu nevracet, nep\u0159ipom\u00ednat ho. Jeho p\u0159ipom\u00edn\u00e1n\u00ed, by\u0165 i\u00a0striktn\u011b negativn\u00ed, by naru\u0161ovalo pracn\u011b budovan\u00fd obraz t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 stoprocentn\u00ed podpory normaliza\u010dn\u00edch politik\u016f.

Brabec se od role majora Zemana nikdy zcela nedistancoval. Snad jedin\u00fdm hercem, kter\u00fd se k\u00a0\u00fa\u010dinkov\u00e1n\u00ed v\u00a0seri\u00e1lu postavil kriticky a\u00a0dokonce se omluvil, byl Ji\u0159\u00ed L\u00e1bus, kter\u00fd hr\u00e1l v\u00a0d\u00edle Mimikry.<\/p>\n

O seri\u00e1lu se n\u011bkdy mluv\u00ed v\u00a0tom smyslu, \u017ee pokud se odmysl\u00ed ideologick\u00fd balast, je to dobr\u00e1 krimin\u00e1lka.

Mgr. Petr Kopal, Ph.D. vystudoval Filozofickou fakultu Univerzity Karlovy.Od roku 2008 pracuje v\u00a0\u00dastavu pro studium totalitn\u00edch re\u017eim\u016f jako v\u011bdeck\u00fd pracovn\u00edk.V\u011bnuje se problematice vztahu filmu a historie nebo fungov\u00e1n\u00ed filmov\u00e9 propagandy.Je autorem a spoluautorem des\u00edtek v\u011bdeck\u00fdch publikac\u00ed.<\/p>\n
O seri\u00e1lu se \u010dasto mluv\u00ed tak\u00e9 jako o\u00a0sofistikovan\u00e9, skryt\u00e9 propagand\u011b.<\/p>\n
S\u00a0t\u00edm nemohu souhlasit, byla to propaganda jednozna\u010dn\u00e1, tvrd\u00e1, prvopl\u00e1nov\u00e1.

Jak ve\u0159ejnost cel\u00fd seri\u00e1l p\u0159ijala?<\/p>\n
To obecn\u011b souviselo s\u00a0fenom\u00e9nem normaliza\u010dn\u00edch seri\u00e1l\u016f. Za\u010d\u00e1tkem 70.\u00a0let se v\u00a0\u010ceskoslovensk\u00e9 televizi hledaly nov\u00e9 form\u00e1ty, proto\u017ee atraktivita programu \u0161la i\u00a0kv\u016fli rozs\u00e1hl\u00fdm person\u00e1ln\u00edm \u010distk\u00e1m hodn\u011b dol\u016f, co\u017e se projevilo tak\u00e9 na sledovanosti.

Obecn\u011b platilo, \u017ee sledovanost v\u0161ech seri\u00e1l\u016f byla enormn\u00ed, re\u017eim se skute\u010dn\u011b trefil do \u010dern\u00e9ho.
