Although “The Green Border” has been in the news for several weeks, the film was released in cinemas only on Friday, September 22. As we reported earlier, few people expected that Agnieszka Holland’s latest film would record the best opening weekend for a Polish film in 2023. The production was watched by as many as 137,000 people over the weekend. viewers.
Agnieszka Holland’s film arouses great emotions among viewers. “You have to see him”
This result shows that the massive push by politicians of the ruling party towards production has had a completely different effect than intended. Most Poles were not convinced by the scandalous statements or hateful materials of Telewizja Polska. However, we were curious whether at least some of the viewers would agree with the government’s narrative after the screening.
One of our interlocutors admitted that he thought the film was phenomenal, but initially he was skeptical about it. – Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the best movie and I was very afraid because there was a lot of talk about it before everyone saw it. However, it moved me very much at the level of what it is about, but it is also a very good film from an artistic point of view – said one of the viewers. Many cinema patrons unanimously stated that they were very moved by the film:
I am still impressed and I think this film will stay with me for a long time.
There are such strong emotions and expressiveness of this film at stake here that these are probably the best words.
“It’s a very pro-Polish film”
There was also a voice that, contrary to the narrative of the ruling camp, it was a “very pro-Polish” film. The man argued this earlier, saying that the story in “The Green Border” is shown from many perspectives: refugees, activists and border guards, who also face dilemmas.
This is a much more complicated situation than the one presented by those in power, who simplify this world to such an extent that it is no longer the world it is.
However, another viewer expressed regret that Agnieszka Holland’s film was not the Polish candidate for the Oscar. – The story told here should reach the widest possible audience and we should be proud of how our compatriot told it – we hear.
