Aranybulla

This was "crowdfunded" from our taxes, at least good actors/actresses were chosen, but the script, cinematography, direction is awful #NERgasm.

Some have certainly benefited from their contribution to the film. It's pathetic that anyone would compare it to the Game of Thrones , but nothing is surprising anymore in this orange haze that is enveloping the country.

Hopefully this will never be broadcasted again on television and will not take up server space anywhere for streaming/VOD purposes.

"We have also decreed that if We or any of our successors should at any time seek to go against this settlement, both the bishops and the retainers and the nobles of the kingdom, in common or in singularly, now and in the future, have by this authority for ever more the freedom to resist and speak against Us and our successors, without the taint of infidelity."

This is not a work of art. There is no srcipt, no scenery, backgrounds are missing. A dozen horseman crawl on the meadow (episode 4, 5), the king passes laws with three (!) lords on the meadow, too (end of episode 5.), sometimes you can see a wall of a cathedral, a well or a tree. Experts relate what happened instead of showing it on the screen. From time to time drawings, maps, little banners or tin soldiers subtitute the real scenes.

Narration is boring like some kind of a dreary lesson from an old and dusty textbook; dialoges are lifeless, they aim only to illustrate the ideology of the producers: King II. András was a great and wise christian leader, hungarians are christians, they protect Europe against the islam. This message directly refers to the ideology of the recent political power: Orbán Viktor protects the christianity against the rotten liberalism of the western countries.

This mini-series is a humiliation not only of an important event in Hungarian history, but also of the art of cinema. The incumbent Fidesz, a far-right party and its Putin's lapdog PM in power ordered a propaganda mouth piece that has become a visual garbage funded by taxpayers' money, and is characterized by utter incompetence and ignorance.

The characters move like puppets without understanding or even inhabiting their roles, and the direction and the visual realization of the series is completely amateurish. What is more, to portray the Hungarian kingdom in the early 13th century as the sole defender of European Christianity is tantamount to falsifying history. There is a succession of "great kings", "wisest rulers", "most successful periods" in Hungarian history, kings who were "no greater warriors", and one need not bother to find out what exactly this means.

Stay away from watching it at any cost.

I recently watched the miniseries "Aranybulla" and it was a complete waste of time. The directing was abysmal and the story was so boring that I found myself struggling to keep my eyes open. The actors were equally awful and seemed to be just going through the motions without any real emotion or depth to their performances.

The plot was completely predictable and unoriginal, and it seemed like the writers didn't even try to make it interesting. The dialogue was clunky and forced, and the characters were one-dimensional and unlikable.

I found myself fast forwarding through most of the episodes because I just couldn't bear to sit through another minute of this poorly made miniseries. The special effects were also subpar and added nothing to the story.

Overall, the miniseries was a complete disappointment. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I can't believe I wasted my time on it. It's a shame that such a poorly made miniseries was even made in the first place. Avoid it at all costs.

As we Hungarians would say, this production is totally a "paraszt vakitàs!" considering how the Hungarian government is using public funds creating propaganda "movies or TV series".

The real authentic Hungarian film making has died but mainly ignored or either emigrated overseas giving us the audience a magical motion picture experience!

We Hungarians basically give one of the best platform opportunities by making motion picture for Hollywood and thats where it ends unfortunately!!!😔 At the moment the latest political regime in Hungary has cancelled the free arts and culture institutes despite of make it larger and greater.
