My Mum took me to the cinema to see that movie when I was a teenager. Trust me, people were rolling on the floor from laughing, I have never seen anything like that. As I'm watching it now as an adult it's quite terryfing and maybe eve depresing because it really shows you the struggle of an adult life that anyone can absolutely relate to. It was hilarious back when it came out, all the gags, the way they talk and how they talk-comedy at its best! But now I can see the other, like, hidden meaning of this movie and its quite the opposite of comedy. Thats why its a good cinematography in my opinion.
It's a pretty artsy movie. It's a comedy, when you're in your twenties. It's a tragedy when you're in your forties. Would recommend whenever. It's available somewhere on YT, with subtitles.
The movie is about a Polish teacher, who struggles with problems and annoyances of everyday. The movie shows typical Pole's phobias, habits and stereotypes, which stay with us for generations. It's funny, but it's also sad, because everyone of us will most likely end up like this teacher at some point: tired, disappointed and bitter...
Ja jednak dodam, że to nauczyciel polskiego, który klnie jak żul, i nie umie wychować nawet swojego syna, natomiast jest zgorzkniały z powodu niskich zarobków.
@@Asgarden To też. W swoim monologu jednak opowiadał o szkole poetów i że miał marzenia o lepszym życiu, a czekała go szara rzeczywistość. Nie osiągnął nic szczególnego, praca go rozczarowała, małżeństwo się nie udało i zaczął rzucać klątwami na lewo i prawo, bo tylko tyle mu na starość zostało...
To tragikomedia. Przez śmiech i łzy pokazana frustracja codziennym życiem. Nauczyciel języka polskiego umęczony doczesnością. Z fobią natręctw i głową przepełnioną poezją i sztuką, której nie potrafi doświadczyć na co dzień. Takie smutne zderzenie własnych wyobrażeń z rzeczywistością. Okraszone żartem.... Pozdrawiam!
Great film :D It's not only a comedy with cool jokes but also the drama of a main character who doesn't like his life. It's a perfect portrayal of a man who doesn't like his own life but doesn't adapt to the new times, in fact he struggles to change anything about himself. A resentful man who is in fact his own enemy. Regards :D
this film was considered the most influential in Polish cinematography on our society. it raises many issues of humanity. many people in their youth watched this film as a comedy, but over time, when you watch this film, you realize that it is a drama of a man who feels alienated in today's world :)
It's one of Adaś Miauczyński stories. He's that typical Polish guy, all our frustrations, fears and vices in one person. This character was portraited by Cezary Pazura and Marek Kondrat through the story timeline.
It's one of the best polish movies. It's a comedy-drama about sad live of polish man, whose live went not as he want. He know that nothing goes well, but he only complain and can't change anything in his live. Even in this tragic situation you can find many funny jokes in this film. From this film series I also reccomend "Wszyscy jesteśmy Chrystusami" - "We're All Christs". This film deeply presents problem of alcoholism.
These dialogues are the most Polish dialogues I've heard in a film . Super close to how people talk in real life . Often loosing their mind and yelling when they can't win an argument .
It's a dramedy. The protagonist is everyman, all and each of us. His day is all of our daily frustrations congested into one day. A cult movie in Poland. The movie clip you watched some time ago, from Nothing Funny has the same character, Adam Miauczynski, played by two different actors.

This is a film about a man who wants to live, but everyday frustration is all-consuming and this gray everyday life kicks him in the ass. It's funny how he reacts to it, like any person who is fed up with hopeless everyday problem.
It's comedy and drama in one. I've got no experience in learning English from my parents (they didn't speak that language) but I've taught my son since he was 3 years old and he's now a proud guy gratuated at the University of Leicester and working in the City of London.
I remember that when I was young my father woke me up in the middle of the night and asked me questions about math or English and my answer decided whether I would get a meal the next day, this is how loving fathers in Poland teach
It's a great movie, a comedy - drama set in Polish culture and the realities of life from the perspective of a man - teacher suffering from OCD symptoms,. However as I was looking at the english subtitles, I had a thought that it was not funny and the translation just lost that "thing" (an ambience or so) which is here very characteristic and unique . I am afraid you lost something here and being a non-polish makes it difficult to really get the movie (due to references to our mentality etc.). Thank you anyway for watching Dzień Świra and for your general openness and curiosity.
Hi there! Thank for the video :) "Dzień Świra" is one of the best. Actually it's a tragicomedy. You laugh, sometimes cry with laughter but the longer you watch it you realize that Poland internal problems are just presented in a funny way. There are also some social problems and life nonsenses shown within this movie, but the way they are presented just make me die from laugh :)
You should see "Świat według Kiepskich", especially an episode "Biurokracja" because it shows the real problems the common people faces in Poland that are being caused by an administrative sector. Even though, its an exaserpated in this episode, the essence is there.
About the divorce part: Since the majority of Christians in Poland are Catholic, when you have a sacramental wedding in the Church, you are not permitted to divorce your spouse (in Church). However, if problems arise in your marriage, you can pursue a legal separation and/or a civil divorce. Another option is to seek an annulment. This process aims to determine whether the marriage was valid from the outset. If it is determined that there was no valid marriage in the first place, you can obtain an annulment and are then free to marry someone else, as your initial marriage did not have sacramental validity.
The description of the movie is grossly oversimplifying. It's a comedy-drama about a guy with existential crisis that's facing the reality of empty promises and hopes about the present. As a kid I thought it's pure comedy. With age I learnt it's more of a drama. Ofc he is in fact a teacher and he gets angry at people but that's like describing the Godfather as a movie about a mafia boss that kills people. His son and his job are just 2 of many topics he deals with in this movie. About the divorce. Ofc you can get a divorce but marriage in Catholicism works that you marry for live so all those people that got divorce after such wedding, in the eyes of Church are still a marriage even thought legally they are divorced. It's a great movie but I don't know if it's good movie to recommend for foreigners. You will get part of it but people from the ex-Eastern block would get a lot more of it but still they would lose the part known only for Poles and also a lot in translation. Even the way of how the sentences he says to himself are build is a reference to style of our great writer Mickiewicz.
This is the type of movie you must watch several times in your life. When you are a child, this movie is a comedy, but when you watch the movie a second time as an adult, you realize how well it reflects the hardships of life, and you realize that this movie is a drama.
You can find that full movie with english subtitles on yt, I haven't seen any reactions for that one so you can be the first :) It is drama-comedy and one of the most well known movies from the last 25 years in Poland.
The one who never held the flashligh for his dad when you were both repairing a car or some stuff at home does not know life and what being stressed mean xD.
if you loosely would watch that movie it would seem like a comedy but actually its pretty tragic and far from being a comedy/parody its more like a drama whith some psychological twist to it... but yeah dialogues are funny sometimes. Also Cezary Pazura was given proposal to play the main role but he decline it and after years hes happy he did it because Marek Kondrat the actor who plays main role (father/teacher) played it so good and uncle Czarek said that himself on his yt videos
To jest tragikomedia coś co jest bardzo częste w sztuce. Można powiedzieć, że większość komedii jest na pewnej warstwie dramatem, oprócz głupawych komedii opartych na gagach.
This film is sooo bitter-sweet! It's interesting to see non-Polish watching it :) Would you like to watch the whole film? There is a part of 'Polish soul' in this film, I think. Is Is there a film that you would describe as very 'Scottish', showing a 'Scottish mindset'? The film is from 2002. 20 years ago, Poland applied for admission to the European Union and children learned English intensively in schools (previous generations learned Russian and German). We wanted to be part of the western world and be able tu use its 'common language'. Some children had difficulty with the new language, which is shown in this film, but today most people in Poland speak English quite well :) Especially younger generations.
It's a dark comedy. As some people here said - it's a comedy when youre young and a tragedy when you're old. It's a summary of average Pole's life, struggles, work, family, relationships and neighbours etc.
I watched this movie as a teenager and everybody was saying how funny it is, but I straight away felt depressed haha It's a dramady. Sad story with funny take on it.
this is a comedy in which Marek Kondrat plays the main role, it is my favorite Polish comedy, I recommend watching the whole thing, unfortunately some of the jokes are hard to understand if you aren't from Poland...
2:45 The thing in Poland is that it's rather rare for parents to know English better than their children because back when this older generation attended schools they were only teaching Russian or German. Even for my generation (born in 96) the primay language was German, I started learning English in something like 7th grade and I have a lot of friends that they had Russian as primary language.
@@karlafrytka7737 On both but more on the year. Like nowadays they are teaching English in all schools but in 80's that would unthinkable. With second foreign language it has more to do with what the school wants but at the same time there are trends regarding borders from the war period. In 80's and 90's it was just just Russian or German, then they started teaching English and now there are even schools that will teach you Spanish, Italian or different languages.
Both my parents are teachers. Mother biology (+geography and chemistry), father physics, mathematics and computer science. I wasn't free until high school. Greetings from Poland!! Wrocław, THE CITY OF A HUNDRED BRIDGES!! I recommend "L.U.C - Iluzji Łąka" ^u^
this movie is about this father and his every day problem, reality and daily routine and his relationship with his ex wife and son and people around him - and when u watch this movie as a teenager u laugh a lot becuase of elder problems but when you watch it now u realize that this is real life and u have the same problems now - one of the best polish movies about poles every day reality
there is a big difference between polish text and translation. This is not usual words. It's difficult to explain. Probably only someone who learnt Polish will understand. Polish language has flavours, you can tell the same thing in twenty diffrent ways. We laugh looking at this scene as well because of wording.
3:20 - partially. But it's also a way of showing "like father, like son". The main protagonist of this movie (father) is the eponymous "wacko" who has various insecurities, weird habits, nervous tics and daily rituals that he follows morbidly to the letter every day - even though they make no sense, do not make him in any way happier and only make his life even more miserable. He has to dress up in exactly "right" manner or he'll be sick. He has to sit on his couch in exactly "right" way, or he'll be sick. He has to count to seven while doing any mundane thing in his life - including pouring a hot water into his cup of coffee/tea so seven drops will follow or taking a piss long enough to reach seven-second rule. And so on, and so on. This scene (as many others in this movie) pretty much shows that his weird, sick habits have literally influenced his own son and it seems the latter is going to be just as much of an unhappy "wacko" as his father. Problems and pathologies are passed on from generation to generation. I would reccomend you watching this whole movie, but... 1) I don't know if there is a DVD with English translation available (and this one here is quite poor anyway, to be honest); 2) I don't think you'll understand all the nuances in it since you don't live in Poland. I actually watched this movie (again) not so long time ago and it made me very depressed. Because not only none of the problems this movie addresses have improved since its premiere, but in some regards, the situation has gotten even worse.
I am in my now late 40s and I often feel very much like the protagnist in the film, it's about the feeling of waste, dissapoitment with reality, unfulfilled dreams from the youth and lack of optimism about the future, the feeling that the Polish reality gives you. I've always felt however much you try, it's always going to be not enough in Poland. Maybe it's a generational thing, my childhood was in late communism, in my teens I went through the political transition to end up in the wild capitalism of the 90s which very much continues to this day.
There is a lot of context needed to understand what's going on here. The movie is about the teacher guy who has severe OCD. We're introduced to his quirks and strange daily rituals early on and we're lead to believe that he's the titular "wacko". But as the movie progressess, it makes you question who's more insane - the protagonist, or the world that surrounds him. He just wants to live his life in peace but he's being disturbed every step of the way - be it his dumb neighbours, the uninterested school kids, the laughable teacher's salary, his slutty ex-wife, etc. He actually cherishes his son and wishes he could live a normal life despite his learning disability and just the fact that he's his son - fearing his wacko side will pass onto him (as we see in the "clothing ritual" shown at 3:00 mark)
Watch a whole movie if you can. Great movie it is. This scene is more sad because a main character and a boy's mom are divorced and he just comes to visit his son time to time and it is like he has no idea what to talk about with the son and he chooses to ask him of English (as he never have learned himself properly). And yes, Sylwunio is silly but honest and Adam is very bright but frustrated and overthinking... I recommend you to watch it all. (And no, you can get a divorce when married in church but this is how Sylwunio believes how it works according to the Catholic Church principles)
4:55 when you take a church wedding (you actually got civil wedding too at the same time, unless you get married before in civil way before) you still can get divorce, but only in civil way, and you still are married by church, so for example you can't get married in church for a second time then (at least not till your ex is still alive) and while being in a church you can't receive the eucharist, at least if you have a new partner (cause it's a sin, it's considered as cheating by church), if you get civil divorce with your ex, but you still are single, not seeing anyone, it's considered by church as being faithful to your ex-spouse still and then you can still receive the eucharist. There is technically something that is called an church divorce, but it's pretty hard to get one, cause most of the time you have to prove that for example you were forced to get married... although i heard that if you pay enough you can still get church divorce tho... but in church law it's not really considered as a divorce, but more like getting annulment of your marriage... so yeah...
The actor who plays the main character's son is actually the son of the director of this film... the film itself is autobiographical and shows the relationship with his son, and in other parts "We are all Christs"("Wszyscy jesteśmy Chrystusami"), about his son's alcoholism and drug addiction or difficult relationships, "Ajlawju", or work in the movie "Nothing Funny"("Nic śmiesznego")..
the dressing scene does not represent the difference between generations. This scene depicts the inheritance of habits from parents. Adam (father) has obsessive-compulsive disorder. every activity takes him a lot of time because it has to be done perfectly. There are many scenes throughout the film showing the main character's contortions
"Dzień Świra" ("Day of the Freak") is a comedy-drama, but most people I know who watched this film remembered it only from the comedy scenes... Under the guise of a comedy, this film talks about many mental problems, especially men's (because of course the main character is a man) and how difficult it is to is to live with them pretending that everything is fine, it also talks about parenting problems, parenthood, divorce, life as a divorcee and many others. If someone can read the underside of this film, they know that despite everything it is beautiful and touches on important topics, it tells the story of a human being who can be each of us one day... Just like the continuation of this film, "Wszyscy jesteśmy Chrystusami" ("We Are All Christs"), which tells about other problems in life, it introduces a bit of an element of messianism, which shows the martyrdom of man and compares him to Jesus Christ himself and there is less comedy and more drama in it, I also highly recommend it! Both films are able to teach us something, make us reflect or change our worldview, they are really good films, but as I said, you need to be able to watch them as you need to in order to understand the message.
All of the best polish comedies are dramas as well. It's kinda our sh#$ tbh... since what we went trough as a nation. I think I will binge all of ur videos. It's just funny to watch and interesting to see someone reacting to part of my culture and history
The subtitles are horrible, but I wouldn't come up with any better than this. There's just so many details lost in that translation, but that's strictly because how differently those languages work.
Adaś Miałczyński is a symbol full of symbolism and smiles for the Polish audience. The most significant thing is that he is an irritated intellectual who reads the "gazeta wyborcza" newspaper, and perhaps that's why he has a nervous breakdown. Interestingly, the well-known editor of the "gazeta WYBORCZA" newspaper was supposedly a Polish opposition activist, but he protected communists from being held accountable. He was a Polish Jew whose brother sentenced Poles to death, and he himself was a communist judge who sentenced Polish heroes. He hid in Sweden. In this newspaper, books and articles appeared that distorted history, such as the so-called "paszkwil wyborczej," which described how Poles during the Warsaw Uprising were killing Jews instead of fighting against the Germans. And recently, interesting materials came out in which the drunk Michnik-Szechter kisses General Jaruzelski and says he loves him. They made his family rich by allowing the newspaper and their printing, providing machines.
I'm sorry mate, but this movie is not easy to understand for someone who is not native Polish. It's as if a foreigner who doesn't know history wants to understand the historical connections between the Scots and the English or something like that.
Maybe I'm in minority , but I did not like this film at all. And let me take this opportunity to once again ask for you reaction to one of numerous videos shoving the most Polish dance of all - polonaise or polonez (in Polish) and react to one of mamy videos showing Poles dancing it. I would mostly recommend a video "NAJPIĘKNIEJSZY Polonez Studniówka 2023 "Jedynka" Opoczno " from a prom in a town of Opoczno and a video from the Guiness record in polonaise dance in Zamość -video titled "Zamość Bicie Rekordu Guinnessa - Polonez". But remember to get some theory first , at least from the Wikipedia under "Polonaise". I will repeat this until I you make it.😁
I don’t think a foreigner is able to fully understand this movie and others directed by Marek Koterski (his real life son is playing in the scene you’re commenting). These are not movies to be enjoyed, they are very depressing. They may seem like comedies at first glance, but they are more like psychological thrillers or dramas. Basically, they are telling the story of the director’s life, not literally probably, but who knows. I can recommend watching Kiler and Kiler’ow Dwóch with Cezary Pazura. These are also truely Polish and are considered to be iconic in our cinematography.
You should watch Chłopaki Nie Płaczą. It is polish version of Pulp Fiction. I think it is the movie that is the most quoted in the everyday life in Poland.
You have to remember that this movie is not a comedy, it's a fucking drama, and only those who are or have been in such a fucking depression will fully understand this movie. This film brilliantly shows what depression looks like and how it turns a person into a complete freak.
a clip from that may translate poorly the comedy of this movie. perhaps watching it whole, would help. I recommend watching it, wonder what would be your opinion afterwards

You can find that full movie with english subtitles on yt, I haven't seen any reactions for that one so you can be the first :) It is drama-comedy and one of the most well known movies from the last 25 years in Poland.
This is a profound drama with a hint of sarcasm
Another Polish classic actor: Marek Konrad
I love his accent and I'm so happy that I can understand him ;)
The one who never held the flashligh for his dad when you were both repairing a car or some stuff at home does not know life and what being stressed mean xD.
Best scene was on the beach when poor guy had to suffer from lot of things disturbing him. Also im from Poland :D
if you loosely would watch that movie it would seem like a comedy but actually its pretty tragic and far from being a comedy/parody its more like a drama whith some psychological twist to it... but yeah dialogues are funny sometimes. Also Cezary Pazura was given proposal to play the main role but he decline it and after years hes happy he did it because Marek Kondrat the actor who plays main role (father/teacher) played it so good and uncle Czarek said that himself on his yt videos
To jest tragikomedia coś co jest bardzo częste w sztuce. Można powiedzieć, że większość komedii jest na pewnej warstwie dramatem, oprócz głupawych komedii opartych na gagach.
I'm really enjoying your reactions
this is movie about man that he thinks that he failed in his life.
he says abut everything that piss him off.
This film is sooo bitter-sweet! It's interesting to see non-Polish watching it :) Would you like to watch the whole film? There is a part of 'Polish soul' in this film, I think. Is Is there a film that you would describe as very 'Scottish', showing a 'Scottish mindset'?
The film is from 2002. 20 years ago, Poland applied for admission to the European Union and children learned English intensively in schools (previous generations learned Russian and German). We wanted to be part of the western world and be able tu use its 'common language'. Some children had difficulty with the new language, which is shown in this film, but today most people in Poland speak English quite well :) Especially younger generations.
😂 THE BEST. MOVIE..
It's a dark comedy.
As some people here said - it's a comedy when youre young and a tragedy when you're old.
It's a summary of average Pole's life, struggles, work, family, relationships and neighbours etc.
I can't wait to see your review of Braveheart 😁
One of the best movies by Marek Koterski !
„Dzien swira” is a comedy of poland reality in 2000s
I watched this movie as a teenager and everybody was saying how funny it is, but I straight away felt depressed haha
It's a dramady. Sad story with funny take on it.
this is a comedy in which Marek Kondrat plays the main role, it is my favorite Polish comedy, I recommend watching the whole thing, unfortunately some of the jokes are hard to understand if you aren't from Poland...
"Is it a drama? a comedy?"
Yes 😂
Well done 👏
I am
You are
Learning for many years he he
2:45 The thing in Poland is that it's rather rare for parents to know English better than their children because back when this older generation attended schools they were only teaching Russian or German. Even for my generation (born in 96) the primay language was German, I started learning English in something like 7th grade and I have a lot of friends that they had Russian as primary language.
So I believe it depends on the school rather than a year you were born in.
@@karlafrytka7737 On both but more on the year. Like nowadays they are teaching English in all schools but in 80's that would unthinkable. With second foreign language it has more to do with what the school wants but at the same time there are trends regarding borders from the war period. In 80's and 90's it was just just Russian or German, then they started teaching English and now there are even schools that will teach you Spanish, Italian or different languages.
Both my parents are teachers. Mother biology (+geography and chemistry), father physics, mathematics and computer science. I wasn't free until high school. Greetings from Poland!! Wrocław, THE CITY OF A HUNDRED BRIDGES!!
I recommend "L.U.C - Iluzji Łąka" ^u^
This movie must be watched in its entirety. dark comedy
😂
this movie is about this father and his every day problem, reality and daily routine and his relationship with his ex wife and son and people around him - and when u watch this movie as a teenager u laugh a lot becuase of elder problems but when you watch it now u realize that this is real life and u have the same problems now - one of the best polish movies about poles every day reality
😂😎
there is a big difference between polish text and translation. This is not usual words. It's difficult to explain. Probably only someone who learnt Polish will understand. Polish language has flavours, you can tell the same thing in twenty diffrent ways. We laugh looking at this scene as well because of wording.
3:20 - partially. But it's also a way of showing "like father, like son". The main protagonist of this movie (father) is the eponymous "wacko" who has various insecurities, weird habits, nervous tics and daily rituals that he follows morbidly to the letter every day - even though they make no sense, do not make him in any way happier and only make his life even more miserable. He has to dress up in exactly "right" manner or he'll be sick. He has to sit on his couch in exactly "right" way, or he'll be sick. He has to count to seven while doing any mundane thing in his life - including pouring a hot water into his cup of coffee/tea so seven drops will follow or taking a piss long enough to reach seven-second rule. And so on, and so on.
This scene (as many others in this movie) pretty much shows that his weird, sick habits have literally influenced his own son and it seems the latter is going to be just as much of an unhappy "wacko" as his father. Problems and pathologies are passed on from generation to generation.
I would reccomend you watching this whole movie, but... 1) I don't know if there is a DVD with English translation available (and this one here is quite poor anyway, to be honest); 2) I don't think you'll understand all the nuances in it since you don't live in Poland.
I actually watched this movie (again) not so long time ago and it made me very depressed. Because not only none of the problems this movie addresses have improved since its premiere, but in some regards, the situation has gotten even worse.
Reality of days long gone... 20 years already.
they are in sync. just a scene ...good 1
I am in my now late 40s and I often feel very much like the protagnist in the film, it's about the feeling of waste, dissapoitment with reality, unfulfilled dreams from the youth and lack of optimism about the future, the feeling that the Polish reality gives you. I've always felt however much you try, it's always going to be not enough in Poland. Maybe it's a generational thing, my childhood was in late communism, in my teens I went through the political transition to end up in the wild capitalism of the 90s which very much continues to this day.
Guys it’s about OCD. Main character have this disorder. This drama/comedy movie shows how hard is to live with such a disorder.
There is a lot of context needed to understand what's going on here. The movie is about the teacher guy who has severe OCD. We're introduced to his quirks and strange daily rituals early on and we're lead to believe that he's the titular "wacko". But as the movie progressess, it makes you question who's more insane - the protagonist, or the world that surrounds him. He just wants to live his life in peace but he's being disturbed every step of the way - be it his dumb neighbours, the uninterested school kids, the laughable teacher's salary, his slutty ex-wife, etc. He actually cherishes his son and wishes he could live a normal life despite his learning disability and just the fact that he's his son - fearing his wacko side will pass onto him (as we see in the "clothing ritual" shown at 3:00 mark)
Watch a whole movie if you can. Great movie it is. This scene is more sad because a main character and a boy's mom are divorced and he just comes to visit his son time to time and it is like he has no idea what to talk about with the son and he chooses to ask him of English (as he never have learned himself properly). And yes, Sylwunio is silly but honest and Adam is very bright but frustrated and overthinking... I recommend you to watch it all. (And no, you can get a divorce when married in church but this is how Sylwunio believes how it works according to the Catholic Church principles)
4:55 when you take a church wedding (you actually got civil wedding too at the same time, unless you get married before in civil way before) you still can get divorce, but only in civil way, and you still are married by church, so for example you can't get married in church for a second time then (at least not till your ex is still alive) and while being in a church you can't receive the eucharist, at least if you have a new partner (cause it's a sin, it's considered as cheating by church), if you get civil divorce with your ex, but you still are single, not seeing anyone, it's considered by church as being faithful to your ex-spouse still and then you can still receive the eucharist. There is technically something that is called an church divorce, but it's pretty hard to get one, cause most of the time you have to prove that for example you were forced to get married... although i heard that if you pay enough you can still get church divorce tho... but in church law it's not really considered as a divorce, but more like getting annulment of your marriage... so yeah...
The actor who plays the main character's son is actually the son of the director of this film... the film itself is autobiographical and shows the relationship with his son, and in other parts "We are all Christs"("Wszyscy jesteśmy Chrystusami"), about his son's alcoholism and drug addiction or difficult relationships, "Ajlawju", or work in the movie "Nothing Funny"("Nic śmiesznego")..
Both my parents were like that, teaching me polish, math etc or tried at last, no patience in them at all xD This movie is old now, but still true ;)
the dressing scene does not represent the difference between generations. This scene depicts the inheritance of habits from parents. Adam (father) has obsessive-compulsive disorder. every activity takes him a lot of time because it has to be done perfectly. There are many scenes throughout the film showing the main character's contortions
"Dzień Świra" ("Day of the Freak") is a comedy-drama, but most people I know who watched this film remembered it only from the comedy scenes... Under the guise of a comedy, this film talks about many mental problems, especially men's (because of course the main character is a man) and how difficult it is to is to live with them pretending that everything is fine, it also talks about parenting problems, parenthood, divorce, life as a divorcee and many others. If someone can read the underside of this film, they know that despite everything it is beautiful and touches on important topics, it tells the story of a human being who can be each of us one day... Just like the continuation of this film, "Wszyscy jesteśmy Chrystusami" ("We Are All Christs"), which tells about other problems in life, it introduces a bit of an element of messianism, which shows the martyrdom of man and compares him to Jesus Christ himself and there is less comedy and more drama in it, I also highly recommend it! Both films are able to teach us something, make us reflect or change our worldview, they are really good films, but as I said, you need to be able to watch them as you need to in order to understand the message.
This film is untranslatable, and it's not only about the language (although very much so) but about the mentality
All of the best polish comedies are dramas as well. It's kinda our sh#$ tbh... since what we went trough as a nation. I think I will binge all of ur videos. It's just funny to watch and interesting to see someone reacting to part of my culture and history
I haven’t got a problem with English but I remember that a word “źdźbło” and my dad was yelling at me.
it's a comedy when you're young and becomes the saddest drama as you get older
i was teached by ppl like that they vere good teachers. but jenglezjii i learned on my own :D
The subtitles are horrible, but I wouldn't come up with any better than this. There's just so many details lost in that translation, but that's strictly because how differently those languages work.
im from Poland, thats me when my dad learned me maths
Adaś Miałczyński is a symbol full of symbolism and smiles for the Polish audience. The most significant thing is that he is an irritated intellectual who reads the "gazeta wyborcza" newspaper, and perhaps that's why he has a nervous breakdown. Interestingly, the well-known editor of the "gazeta WYBORCZA" newspaper was supposedly a Polish opposition activist, but he protected communists from being held accountable. He was a Polish Jew whose brother sentenced Poles to death, and he himself was a communist judge who sentenced Polish heroes. He hid in Sweden. In this newspaper, books and articles appeared that distorted history, such as the so-called "paszkwil wyborczej," which described how Poles during the Warsaw Uprising were killing Jews instead of fighting against the Germans. And recently, interesting materials came out in which the drunk Michnik-Szechter kisses General Jaruzelski and says he loves him. They made his family rich by allowing the newspaper and their printing, providing machines.
I'm sorry mate, but this movie is not easy to understand for someone who is not native Polish. It's as if a foreigner who doesn't know history wants to understand the historical connections between the Scots and the English or something like that.
It's a drama AND comedy. Comedy until you're old enough to understand and relate to the main character, then it's a drama.
Maybe I'm in minority , but I did not like this film at all.
And let me take this opportunity to once again ask for you reaction to one of numerous videos shoving the most Polish dance of all - polonaise or polonez (in Polish) and react to one of mamy videos showing Poles dancing it.
I would mostly recommend a video "NAJPIĘKNIEJSZY Polonez Studniówka 2023 "Jedynka" Opoczno " from a prom in a town of Opoczno and a video from the Guiness record in polonaise dance in Zamość -video titled "Zamość Bicie Rekordu Guinnessa - Polonez". But remember to get some theory first , at least from the Wikipedia under "Polonaise".
I will repeat this until I you make it.😁
At first people thought it was a comedy.
But in reality it is a drama or a tragicomedy.
legendary comedy drama
I don’t think a foreigner is able to fully understand this movie and others directed by Marek Koterski (his real life son is playing in the scene you’re commenting). These are not movies to be enjoyed, they are very depressing. They may seem like comedies at first glance, but they are more like psychological thrillers or dramas. Basically, they are telling the story of the director’s life, not literally probably, but who knows.
I can recommend watching Kiler and Kiler’ow Dwóch with Cezary Pazura. These are also truely Polish and are considered to be iconic in our cinematography.
when you will watch it u will think its comedy. But for someone who lives in Poland is a documentary.
You should watch Chłopaki Nie Płaczą. It is polish version of Pulp Fiction. I think it is the movie that is the most quoted in the everyday life in Poland.
You have to remember that this movie is not a comedy, it's a fucking drama, and only those who are or have been in such a fucking depression will fully understand this movie.
This film brilliantly shows what depression looks like and how it turns a person into a complete freak.
A satire of Polish society, still extremely current. But for foreigners it must be unclear I guess
Is this a comedy or a drama?
It depends:
When you're 0-25 it's comedy.
When you are 25++, it's a drama and a gray reality of life.
😅😅😅😁😁
a clip from that may translate poorly the comedy of this movie.
perhaps watching it whole, would help.
I recommend watching it, wonder what would be your opinion afterwards
