Can someone say to me, why there are Polish flags in trailer?


Something's really wrong here... I'm watching trailer, Radcliffe as a fanatic right (not as good as Eliah Wood in Hooligans, in my opinion), all the things connected with racism and then... Short movie from one of Polish manifestation somewhere in 2015. Big eyes and WTF?! Can you explain that?

At 1:09 Daniel says "Big things... they're coming", if I'm hearing him right. For a split second there really is a clip that seems to have been taken at some Polish protest march. Now, tzyghan, IF the march had a hateful background, wouldn't you say it is kinda justified to use it in a fictional story? Or even fabricate such clip entirely? What is your problem, exactly?

You know, same as in TV series "Lie to Me" they had all those pics and clips of real-life VIPs, or in Preacher they took poor Mr Cruise and exploded him BOOM/SPLATTER! Big eyes then, too?

Polish National Independence Day march.

What is your problem, exactly?

Using Polish Independence celebration in a movie about Neo-nazis.

I wasn't actually asking you.

But I'm in a humouring mood. In case you don't know, we in Poland have several favourite pastimes. Burning Jew effigies (http://www.jpost.com/International/Jew-burned-in-effigy-during-Polish-demonstration-against-Muslim-refugees-434679), installing autocratic governments (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/poland/2016-01-07/europes-autocracy-problem), being nasty towards others, especially if they happen to prefer upholding the law and not wipe their *** with it (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/09/poland-constitutional-court-law-and-justice-government-reforms).

You know, summer is short here and the world pretty scary.

To the point, though. That's the 2015 Polish Independence Day (the year before wasn't much different and we are in for a lot more fun and games like these this year as well):

"Great things are coming" for hateful right-wingers with our new government. That's today's Poland for you: 40% rise in race-related assaults in recent months (officially).

Several thousand riot police officers were deployed for the protest, which was punctuated by numerous firecrackers and smoke bombs but otherwise went off peacefully.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Compared to what, previous year? Don't make me laugh. Show me long term stats, not year-over-year comparison that says nothing.

First of all Polish people have always helped Jews, the largest Jewish population was in Poland before WWII and the government of Israel after WWII was mostly Polish Jews.
Poland was the most powerful eastern European country for over 600 years and when they defeated them in 1919, Poland-Lithuania WAS eastern Europe, with the Hussars, russia was made an insignificant annoyance.
Polish people have the right to be proud of its heritage and to demand the same power from its govt it had before. It is not the united states of poland, it is Poland, it is made for Polish people. If you visit this awesome country, thats what youll see.
When the Polish govt gets tough, the other countries get afraid quickly and start calling it totalitarian. It is not, England on the other hand, controlling over more then 3 territories and the rest of its worldwide controlled countries is a different story.
Poland still needs to regain its lost eastern land, which Soviet Union gave to those Ukraine, Belorussia, and others. Tiny Poland has defeated huge Soviet communism for all surrounding countries, it will continue to do so in the future.

Its all perception.

Really always? Really helped? I will just throw some dates and places here. Check them out if interested: Cracow - 1407; Poznań - 1565; Lviv - 1664; Białystok - 1906; Lviv and Vilnius - 1919; 1935-1937 over 70 Jews killed throughout Poland; Jedwabne - 1941 also Wąsosz, Radziłów, Goniądz during WWII (the murderers were not Germans); Cracow - August, 1945; Kielce - July, 1946; the great exodus of 1968. These are all historically proven facts. Need I say more?

'Poland still needs to regain its lost eastern land'

If that's true then Poland 'needs' to return Pomerania and Silesia to Germany.

You dont think Poland has a Nazi problem? I honestly think they do.

reply

We have a lot of patriots, but definitly not nazis. Because we won't accept Syrian refugees to our country, that doesn't mean we are racist and nazi, we are just afraid of ISIS + we are poor country.
I living in the 8th biggest city in Poland with 300k population, I saw here a lot asian and gypsies folks. My first best friend from childhood was african and I never saw that someone had problem to him. Because we have a lot of fu**tards in internat, that spaming with racist sh**, that doesn't mean whole country it's like this. Sorry for my English, Peace and Love homie.

NOP, never heard of?
Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski, in case you really are Polish and not some Yank with Polish ancestry who never set foot in Poland.

reply

i assume that you replay to wrong person?

reply

No, I reply to you. NOP are neo-nazis, you claim there are no neo-nazis in Poland...

reply

"Because we have a lot of fu**tards in internat, that spaming with racist sh**, that doesn't mean whole country it's like this." Anyway, I didn't really payed attention what you write before, cuz I was thinking you miss click or something. NOP is rare trash, that is nearly dead or no one even care about them.

It is designed to vilify the nationalist Pols so they won't vote out of the EU and its destructive agenda.

It won't work.

No, it's not.

wake us up when it is half of what the leftst did.

And nationalism in Europe is what rightfully broke the back the more oppressive violent system that preceded it, empires such as the Austo Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman.

He looks polish. May be the hair. Is that stereotyping or racism? Not sure.. But Daniel Rowe, sorry... Radcliffe looks like a white supremacist's idea of 'bottom fodder'.
