I saw the movie first, because a friend of mine told me I should watch it – and he was right. The film thrilled me in the very beginning, when Arthur finds himself in a terrible situation - lying in front of the bulldozers. I enjoyed all the jokes – the towel, whales and a bowl of petunia as well as British humour. After seeing the film, I immediately went to a bookshop and bought all five books – and I didn't regret – I could relish all the jokes again. And only then I realized how fantastic the book is and that it is the book that allowed the director to create such a good film. As far as characters are concerned, my most favourite book character is Arthur Dent, thrown into space just with a towel. But in the film, I loved Marvin the Paranoid Android. All in all I think the film is worth seeing, because it makes you laugh. And if you fall in love with it, there are the books waiting for you. Úkol č. 4 1.
