Brilliant! The lift scene is my fav.
Polish Police have less sense of humour than in UK or Canada, though in the USA they would have shot him to death as a Muslim Islamisist!
By tomorrow he will ne out with only few bruises to show for it.

The person who put this short movie together appears to be quite talented in laying out the story and having the background music to give suspense. I wonder if this person is an aspiring movie director or producer in the making.
There is a lot of talent in Poland.
Art is natural for them, rather than a money generator as in the Western parts of Europe and the USA, among others ...
It is a great film done on a shoe-string!

I know, George, both my parents were Polish. I also note from a lot of credits from contemporary films (eg. Shindlers List) that the person in charge of photography is quite often a Polish name.
Even the great English films from the 1950s had a big input from Polish people behind the scenes.
Look at the film,
A Night To Remember
The first really great Titanic film and look for the Poles who actually made the the work - as shown in the credits.
Yes, the actors and Anglo-Saxon UK and US people, but it would not have have the film it was without the Polish efforts ... even some walk on parts for Polish actors and actresses ..

George, you seem to know a lot about Poland, but more importantly to understand the Polish mind, yet (correct me if I am wrong) you are from Norwegian and English back ground. What is your connection to Poland or what was it that attracted you to Poland?
I was lucky enough to train myself out of a job teaching two grand Polish guys to do my job. I am still friends with one eight years on. I have been in Poland four times since.
And my Norwegian grandfather thought the Poles the greatest people on Earth except the Norwegians of course, but including the British!
He fought valiantly in the anti-Nazi war, and was friends with some Polish till he died in 1993.
I admired [and loved] him, and so listened to his words. When I had my two great Polish trainees, I had the hope that they would be great. As it went the three of us became a phenomenal team.

Also, the first history lesson I can actually remember when I was ten was by our school headmistress. She started with Saw war, and then under this on the black-board she wrote,
Warsaw.
She had some ancestors from Poland. I never forgot the little lecture on the Warsaw uprising, and that the USSR let it be be ruined by sitting on their hands in Prage on the East side of the river ...

My mother was a messenger in the Warsaw uprising, she was caught by the Nazis and placed on their tank which drove through the fighting streets of Warsaw in order that the Polish partisans would not shoot at the tank. Luckily one of the Partisans threw a rope to her from the side of the street and she was yanked of the tank in to safety. Both her brothers were partisans in Warsaw, one was wounded, but both of them survived. My mother told me that her family were lucky to survive the war, majority of Polish families in Poland had at least one fatality in their family from the second great war. The strange thing is that it is in the Polish nature to forgive, I was brought up in England (and five years in Munich) and when I visited the Polish graves in Warsaw I felt so angry.
In the spirit (...) of this thread, just for you George:

My respect.

Dear Romi,
I have never met anyone who was in the uprising. It must have a been a terrible thing to witness or take part in ...
I completely agree about what you have written and and specially the part I made red in the quotation.
Thank you for you reply. My Polish friends come from many parts of Poland but none from Warsaw itself. On my second visit to Poland I went to a wonderful - never to be forgotten - Wedding, which was a sort two day party! Though my Polish was very limited, I was made to feel completely welcome by the families of Bride and Groom.
On two occasions I have been to Jaslo, The last time for a holiday that lasted two weeks including the driving with four of us in a small car all the way except for the Channel crossing.
I still hope one day to visit a friend from Opole, who returned to Poland after a few years working in England, some five or six years ago.
I think that a person gets a much more balanced view of a country when visiting friends rather than scouting round the tourist attractions, or staying in the big cities. Also much more fun!
Anyway, thank you for your much appreciated reply. ATB from George
One thing new I encountered in Warsaw was a sort of a street kebab restaurant selling interesting eastern food which I have never seen in England and the middle eastern charming waiters or owners spoke good Polish. I asked them (in Polish) where do they come from originally and they both confirmed that they were Palestinians. How random...!
Random, maybe, but says a lot about modern Poland I think. In a positive way!

"I think that a person gets a much more balanced view of a country when visiting friends rather than scouting round the tourist attractions, or staying in the big cities. Also much more fun!"
+1 to that; even if they take you to some of the tourist attractions, getting to be involved in everyday "real life" for a place is so much more informative and to me, enjoyable.
Thank you Frank F.
