filmy dobre i polskie / good, Polish movies
Operacja Dunaj w rez. Jacka Glomba
Sierpien 1968 oddzial Polskiej Armii Ludowej wybiera sie "pomoc" sasiedniej Czechoslowacji. Wyslany na misje rozklekotany czolg 'Biedroneczka' niechcacy wjezdza w kawiarnie i juz tak zostaje na dluzsza chwile. W kawiarni grupa Czechoslowakow akurat biesiaduje. Jak sobie poradza polscy agresorzy (jednego z nich gra super ekstra Maciej Stuhr) z bojowo nastawiona ludnoscia malej czechoslowackiej wioski?
Usmialam sie dziko, mysle ze film zyskal wiele dzieki wkladowi czeskiej grupy. Smiem twierdzic, ze o wiele lepiej nam jako narodowi wychodzi pokazywanie rzeczy strasznych, smutnych i uzalanie sie nad soba, losem. Wprost uwielbiamy sie taplac w tragediach etc. Gdyby ten film zrobila tylko polska ekipa wyszedlby gniot. Dobre polskie komedie moglabym policzyc na palcach.
Przy okazji wspomne, ze uwielbiam Irlandczykow za ich poczucie humoru. Oni obsmieja wszystko i wszystkich wlaczajac siebie samych. Wyszukajcie chociazby seriale takie jak: 'Father Ted' -gdzie obsmiewaja ksiezy w wiejskiej parafii albo Killinaskully-tu oberwalo sie mieszkancom wiosek i malych miasteczek.
Nawiasem mowiac, mimo ze do Czech nam blisko nie potrafie wymienic chocby jednego zespolu, artysty.
Jedyny film, ktory ogladalam i mam w swoich zasobach jest starenki Samotári. Moze ktos z Was moglby mnie wyprowadzic z jaskini ignorancji i podac pare tytulow filmow czeskich lub slowackich?
A pamietacie inna produkcje polsko-czeska Zabic Sekala (Je třeba zabít Sekala)z 1998? Swietne choc juz nie smieszne.
No i drugi film. Polski. Mroczny.
Dom zly w rez W. Smarzowskiego
Wszystko jest w tym filmie zle. Zlo wylewa sie z butelek z wodka, zlo czai sie w domu rodzinnym. Nawet pogoda jest zla. Ogladalam film z zacisnietymi piesciami masochistycznie czekajac konca, ktory oczywiscie byl zly. Nawet jesli bylo gdzies dobro to tylko podkreslalo jak wielkie i potezne jest zlo. Rownie dobrze mogloby to byc dzielo Dostojewskiego. Film naprawde mocny i tylko dla tych ze stalowymi nerwami.
Few words about Polish movies. Since I left Poland I am not up to date with newest productions. Either movies or music. Pity.
Thank to my dad I had a chance to watch two-not so latest movies but still good and worth watching.
First is Operation Danube (English site HERE)
Its Polish-Czech co-op and its brilliant. In my ignorance I dont know many Czech or Slovak movies or artists (only old one Samotári) . Its a pity cause Poland if flooded with american shite and we dont know whats going on at our neighbours.
Anyway film is very good. I think its all because Czech part, us Polish like tragedies, dramas and all that crap. Good Polish comedies I could count on my fingers. So that Czech flavour spiced it up.
Btw other old co-op Polish and Czech is To Kill Sekal (Je třeba zabít Sekala) its not funny dough but still worth watching.
If you know any Czech or Slovak movies worth watching please leave a comment with title. Thanks.
Second movie is entirely Polish and its dark and evil.
Dark House (English site HERE)
Everything there is pure evil. And there are no ghosts, no zombies, no terrorists. Ordinary people in the end of 70's in Poland. The ending is far from happy. If Dostoyevski would be alive and make movies that would be his. Its really strong so if you are frigile stay away.

foto z wikipedii
rok 1935 Karl Sedlmayer i Karl Mehringer gina podczas proby zdobycia polnocnej sciany gory Eiger (Eiger =Ogr). 1936 Niemcy Andreas Hinterstoisser i Toni Kurz (w trakcie wspinaczki dolaczaja do nich Austriacy Edi Ranier i Willy Angerer) podejmuja walke z Ogrem. Gina wszyscy podczas proby zejscia (bez zdobycia szczytu, z powodu zlego stanu jednego z Austriakow). Hinterstoisser obmyslil trawers, ktorego nie sposob bylo przejsc w drodze powrotnej bez uprzedniego zostawienia tam liny. To wlasnie miedzy innymi stalo sie powodem tragedii. Jedyny ktory mial szanse na przezycie-Toni Kurz zmarl zawieszony na linie zaledwie kilkadziesiat centymetrow od ratownikow. Jego ostatnie slowa to Ich kann nicht mehr - Juz nie moge. Jeszcze przez pare miesiecy mozna bylo zobaczyc przez lornete wiszace cialo Kurza.
Gora zostala zdobyta w 1938 przez zespol dwoch Niemcow i dwoch Austriakow. Do tej pory jednak zbiera smiertelne zniwa.
my head is full of thoughts at the moment
thanks two German movies i've seen recently
first one is a North face/Nord wand about climbing on Eiger Mountain :
Traumatic tale
The first to get really high on the face were Max Sedlmayer and Karl Mehringer who in 1935 were halted by bad weather. Their bodies were spotted weeks later. The following year saw one of the most traumatic episodes in the Eiger's history. Four young climbers - Andreas Hinterstoisser, Edi Ranier, Willy Angerer and Toni Kurz - made a renewed attempt on the north wall. Hinterstoisser opened up a route to the summit with a brilliant traverse but it could not be reversed without a rope in place. After being caught up in a huge storm they were unable to retreat the way they had come and all four were killed. Toni Kurz perished hanging from his abseil rope only feet from a rescue team. The would-be rescuers tried to reach the stricken climber from a window which emerges onto the face from the railway tunnel running right through the mountain. But a knot prevented him sliding any further towards the outstretched arms and his own fingers were so badly frozen he could not free himself. The rescuers had to withdraw for the night despite the stricken climber's pleas not to be left alone. When they returned the next morning he was much weaker and with the words "Ich kann nicht mehr" (I cannot go on) he died almost within reach of safety.
After more failed and fatal attempts to climb the mountain by its most difficult face, a group of four finally managed to put up a route.
Two Germans, Anderl Heckmair and Ludwig (Wiggerl) Vorg, and the Austrians Fritz Kasparek and Heinrich Harrer, joined forces in 1938 to make the first ascent. The dramatic tale was recounted in Harrer's book The White Spider which is named after the distinctive ice field near the summit and has become a mountaineering classic. Kurz's body was visible from Kleine Scheidegg telescopes for months as it hung on the ropes where he died before he could be rescued

Baader Mainhof Complex to historia Andreasa Baadera, Gudrun Ensslin i Ulriki Meinhof i grupy
miejskich guerillas w zachodnich Niemczech. Inspirowany komunizmem terroryzm sprzeciwial sie ideologii faszystkowskiej. Czas ich dzialalnosci nazywany jest czasem "Niemiecka Jesien". Ciagle budza kontrowersje i dziela Niemcy na zwolennikow i przeciwnikow.
seond movie is Baader Meinhof Complex
The Red Army Faction (German: Rote Armee Fraktion), shortened to RAF and in its early stages commonly known as Baader-Meinhof Group or Gang, was one of postwar West Germany's most violent and prominent groups who advocated communist-inspired terrorism. The RAF described itself as a communist "urban guerrilla" group engaged in armed resistance against what they deemed to be a fascist state. The RAF was formally founded in 1970 by Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Horst Mahler, and Ulrike Meinhof. Irmgard Möller and Brigitte Mohnhaupt joined early in 1971.The Red Army Faction existed from 1970 to 1998, committing numerous operations, especially in the autumn of 1977, which led to a national crisis that became known as "German Autumn". It was held responsible for 34 deaths, including many secondary targets—such as chauffeurs and bodyguards—and many injuries in its almost 30 years of activity. Although more well-known, the RAF conducted fewer attacks than the Revolutionary Cells (RZ), which is held responsible for 296 bomb attacks, arson and other attacks between 1973 and 1995
Do tego Baadera gra jeden z moich ulubionych aktorow (znany przede wszystkim z filmow Toma Tykwera) Moritz Bleibtreu.
In both movies you can see Johanne Wokalek, in Nordwand she plays friend of climbers Luise Fellner and in Baader Meinhoff she is Gudrun Esslin
To all that Baader is played by one of my favourite German actor (mostly known to me from Tom Tykwer's movies) Moritz Bleibtreu.
