I'm not sure about the following information but here it goes
spoiler alert
I once saw a short animated movie about depression and in one of the segments it featured Mr. Forman talking about playing solitaire and losing his dog who drowned in a pond. The segment was narrated by Mr. Forman. He also mentioned that he was born in Japan, and having to travel a lot as a kid. I can't remember the name of the animated film, and I'm not sure if it was actually Mr Forman or some other famous director. Does anybody have further information concerning this?? I'd appreciate it --

According to this article, Mr. Forman's real name is Jan Tomas, not Milos. Does anyone know when and why he changed his name? That would seem to be a rather important point that would deserve a mention in his biography. K. Lásztocska talk 04:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
According to the 1st paragraph:
"Two of his films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus are among the most celebrated in the history of motion picture. As a director, Forman has been nominated for three Academy Awards of which he won two."
Wouldn't it be nice to specify the 2 award-winning films? I would suggest:
"Two of his films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus are among the most celebrated in the history of motion picture. Both films won Forman the Academy Award as a director. He was also nominated for The People vs. Larry Flynt."
Would anyone like to update this? Thanks

First it is mentioned his father was "Rudolf Forman, a professor", then just a couple of sentances forward it is said that it was "later discovered that his biological father was a Jewish architect." So what is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.117.34 ( talk) 01:29, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Milos Forman wanted to make a film about Spassky and Fisher in Iceland six years ago... -- 85.197.210.44 ( talk) 17:30, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I take issue with part of the following sentence in the lead section, marked in italics: "Two of his films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus, are among the most celebrated in the history of film, both garnering him the Academy Award as a director." This is a peacock term and is probably a claim to save for the film articles and to back it up there. Erik ( talk) 21:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
"Huge succes One flew Over the Cucko's Nest has allowed it over on realization of musical comedy Hair in 1979, as it concedes be from 1967 year dream when it has seen version of musical comedy Broadway's. There was next important achievement art adaption Peter Shaffer Amadeus in 1984 - it free biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. This movie has brought next for direction it oscar and numerous other awards. Movie won eight oscars - in for Best Picure."
What? The man deserves better than this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.133.44 ( talk) 22:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I removed the whole section because it reads as total nonsense. Amadeus, Cuckoo's Nest, Man on the Moon and Ragtime all star well-known star actors. Gimme a break. "Personal style of comedy" ? Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus are not even remotely funny or intended as comedies. "Para-documentary style" ? Get out of here. Forman's style is overtly cinemati and closer to art-house in style.
Would the contributor of this section please come up with some reliable peer-reviewed sources. Section is preserved below for reference---
"Forman has made his own personal style of comedy. His heroes are outsiders leading unconventional lives. His movies are often closely rooted in reality and possess a "para-documentary" quality. His movies typically involve an amateur cast of actors, or actors that are not typically well known." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.50.145 ( talk) 16:23, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Miloš Forman → Milos Forman – Just a suggestion. I am not fully aware of the governing policy in this case but this spelling seems to be the one more commonly used in the Anglophone world (at least in the US). Ref: WSJ, WaPo, NYT, AFI Catalog, AMPAS Database. Jovian Eclipse 15:32, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
