Best. History. Lesson. Ever. I love Poland's Plan, so swiftly adopted by Sweden too!
Have you seen the awesome film about this whole shebang, 1612? (Imagine a sensitive historical epic dealing with such sombre times. Now imagine that Prussia and Poland are vying for arteestic control over the film and the result has battles and explosions and awesome fight scenes and a noble-spirited Polish anti-hero and a magic pony of destiny). There are also doomed princesses, hussars with wings, Dimitri being shot from the mouth of a cannon, true culture-crossing slashiness, a crack team of wandering assassins fuelling the surge of Russian patriotism, dancing bears and a saint who lives in a tree. It's pure movie crack, and is just wonderful.
The Poles are comming!! XDradittzMarch 21 2010, 00:37:44 UTC
I've just seen trailer of this movie but bad!hussars who attack city gates on horses and Russian unicorn are so awsome XD
Best thing is that man who played that mad leader of Polish forces was also had also main role in Polish historical movie placed in simmiliar times where he's totally a good guy :P
I must say that Polish movie didn't have such huge budget but it was much more historically objective, no unicorns! D:

Well, that movie had a lot of parodies in Poland XD; Of course we learn about those times in school but it's funny to feel like Russia's most dangerous enemy XD

I can say with 100% certainty that if America put out a patriotic movie full of unicorns, I would feel so patriotic about that.
Of course, a unicorn in an American movie would probably be wearin' Ray-Bans, packing a rocket launcher, and its name would be Spike Gallup, or something. He fights crime.

That unicorn would also be calling all the ladies because how can you not with a horn like that?
It's so nice to know that movie got parodied... The balance of the world has been somewhat restored. /does not even want to imagine how much money was spent on it...

Yay! In the extra features bit, he said he was asked how he could be in such an anti-Polish movie, but he didn't consider it anti-Polish, and then raved about how great the special effects are.
Does the second movie come with subtitles? I have a great desire to see more winged hussars charging into battle!
It's mostly about war with Cossacks, it has abot 12 years but I think it's quite nicely made. There is a lot historical stuff and very good costumes, but it's reaaally long movie :)
We had a lot of fun when it came to some Polish cinemas, actually no one took it seriously XD
