Did anyone notice? (ch 5)


That the football supporters that the boy passes were wearing West Bromwich Albion shirts and scarfs? How strange that West Brom has fans in 80s Poland...

A bit strange, yes. I thought they were just supporters of a Varsovian team or something. As for the above theory, it might make sense if this film was shot 10 years earlier.

I wonder whether the group of supporters were deliberately concluded and were part of the filming process. And if so, why? Do they symbolise Jacek's detached, indifferent attitude towards the society around him?

They were fans of Legia Warsaw but indeed one of them for some reason was holding WBA scarf. English football has always been very popular in Poland so many clubs have supporters there.
