Where to begin...
First of all I do not like Polish movies even though I have seen some amazing ones and I loved them... I just prefer English language more, that's it I guess.
I have seen a few Patryk Vega's films and I really enjoyed them/ They are rough and not high quality but they are good and have that something that you can easily sense.
What about Polityka(2019), then?
Well... I knew the hate... I knew it will be disastrous and after a few minutes I literally wanted to just turn it off. It was so bad and cringy I couldn't believe what I am watching.
I wanted to quite again after more minutes but I have started to see what this movie really is...
I thought it was a comedy. Only know I have noticed it's under DRAMA genre and this is real drama... A story told with a scornful laughter but there are tears of sorrow hidden underneath it.
This is over the top caricature of what is going on in my country. I do not follow politics at all. I have heard about a couple of things shown in the movie and only now I got somehow fuller picture what it was all about.
I feel somehow bad about myself that I wanted to quit watching it after a few minutes because if I had... I would have never understood it and know what people behind it were trying to show.
I think this must be one of the most misunderstood films I have ever watched... So easy to think it is something what is not...
Imagine a secret story hidden during a time of fascism and propaganda. This is what it is.
I don't think it is something that non-Polish people can enjoy. It is just a big helpless laugh at what's have been going on in Poland. It hurts... because there are lots of right-minded people in my country... just in the wrong places...
... but again same thing all over the world I guess. More or less but same. We are all connected either we want it or not.
