Janosik. Prawdziwa historia

Juraj Janosik is one of legendary heroes from the Central Europe. a precise type of national hero, clever, seductive, good guy against the authorities, fighter for national ideal. so, it is not an easy choice to propose the right manner to tell his story.maybe only a viewer from the Central Europe understand this detail. Agneszka Holland propose an interesting way - introduction of viewer in the universe of XVII- XVIII century using the traditions, myths, slices of every day life. and the right actors. the mixture of magic and heroic facts, the details from an ordinary existence of a young man living in extraordinary context is a wise option. for to be understood by large public. sure, for many viewers , the film is far to be great. but it is a real good film. portrait of a world. realistic image of the lead character. useful as ethnographic trip in a period of Central Europe history. it is bot the first film about Janosik. but it is one of the most ambition projects about the theme. and that fact is important. because it is an instrument to discover a Slovakian national symbol . and to remind one of the fights for freedom from a region of Europe. a not insignificant detail - he is not a version of Robin Hood or Fanfan la Tulip. his specific is the best part of film. and that does it a not bad proposition to the large public.

Not good, not bad. Only a story about a tip of Central Europe hero, with usual ingredients, slices of Viasat History and some medieval ornaments. Nothing new. Only a window to a world who may seduce the strangers and remember the pictures of childhood books. But the expectations are not impressive. A correct film , description, not very well but not fake of a society, some details about a lost Poland and few actors -promises for better productions, remember of Fanfan la Tulipe and a time travel. And enough. The scene is empty and Janosik - character of an old story. Good for first contact with past of a European region, without the images of Communism.A beginning. But the final taste is, in different doses, not charming.

I have watch movies directed by Agnieszka Holland ... this is the worst I have seen so for ... polish cinematography is dying ...everything in this movie is bad ... screenplay, dialogs ... etc ... watch it to the sleep ... i am give it 2/10 ... this should be a real history tell, but it is only a piece of that history, made in some kind of fantasy movie. there was a serial movie of it created by polish people and it was a much better. Agnieszka Holland is a really good director so I don't understand how she accept to direct that film. If You want to see real movie in the same genre please take a look at Russian: "Wolfhound from the Tribe of Grey Dogs" it is much better and much entertaining than this. watch it on Your own responsibility.
