History / Film "Wałęsa" - historical reality vs myth - controvercies [103]

In one scene based on real events, Walesa, played by Polish actor Robert Wickiewicz, gives an interview to Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci after a 1980 strike that propelled him to prominence.

"He says: 'From now on I can only go down... Now everything bad that happens in Poland will be on my shoulders,"

"'If I was someone else, I would shave off my mustache and go back to the shop floor, but I won't do that, because I know I still have things to do.'"

Wajda described these remarks as "fantastic."

Speaking on a Gdansk radio station, Walesa said he was uncomfortable that in some scenes the actor who played him "portrayed me as a buffoon, who was a bit conceited."

But he said that overall, he was happy with the way the director had realized his concept for the film. "I think he did a good job

Walesa attitude toward Fellaci in 1981 was what we would label today "male chauvinism" and

(kinder, kirche, kuche) applied also to life of his wife with LW

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [354]

my can't get that surprised look, she'd say I'm curious instead. She gives wtf look very well , too.
She'd make me proud if she came to me when called while I have some friends over. She never does come when I call her , except when I kneel down and hold something in my hands - indicator she'd get something. Cat rulez. My cat does and I'm accepting this with some reluctance.

She has never ever pood at home (yet) which is good. :)

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [354]

I'm having hard time touching her after seeing dead frozen rat at my balcony or allowing her on my knees. At the same time she has gained some respect from me, too. What a killer! Anyway thanks for replying; looks she's normal yet my wish would be: don't bring corpses home. If studies are correct and only 20% victims are brought actually home then she's been tremendous serial killer. She probably knocks down 100 a year or so.

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [354]

Merged: How much do polish cats actually kill?

Only last week I've had two corpses: a pigeon and a rat, killed by my murderous cat (she!) and brought home!
I'd like to add my cat is well fed and isn't doing it for survival but for fun.
My cat likes to murder after eating fresh meat. Her usual activity is to look cute, sleep, cuddle ,eat cat food, play, sleep more, murder , look cute, sleep, murder, doze off, play, look cute and murder again.

I don't think all her victims are brought home.
How does that compare to non polish cats?

Life / Living in Warsaw costs - will my earnings be enough to live on? [22]

Study / Foreigner in Gliwice to study - is it safe? [4]

Gliwice isn't far from Katowice where you could go by train for some 2 eur (one way, 40 min). Gliwice would be perfectly save yet don't expect many foreigners living there - it has population of some 200 000. Nearby Katowice would have much more to offer in terms of number of foreigners, parties and things to do.

Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more???
This one dislike Russia more then Denmark! and likes Germany as he lives close to Germany-Poland border and drives through Germany for his weekly splash in the aquaparque so has acquired likeness for Germany and its people .

Love / Foreigners: would you have moved to Poland if it was full of fat/ugly women? [42]

"Foreigners: would you have moved to Poland if it was full of fat/ugly women?"

I'm not a foreigner but would answer your question anyway, with a twist. I'm contemplating moving to Uganda and if it was full of fat/ugly women I wouldn't move there that is wouldn't consider moving there.

Love / Adultery- Is it ok for Polish women [41]

-In the polish culture do the girls accept adultery?
Yes. Although it is a sin for most it would be enough to confess your sins and be forgiven.

-Is it normal in Poland that men have several women?
Most do. It depends if they can afford it.

-In my country its a big scandal when a man cheats his wife. 99% of women from my country would forgive the husband if he cheats her. Are the polish girls only interested in money thats why they dont care about loyalty?

Money is more important, loyalty in that sense is not valued at all.

-Polish girls are not romantic? Dont they believe in love?
They are romantic and they do believe in love, yet only because they read about it. It doesn't come out naturally. In other words: if they didn't read about it they wouldn't feel it. Anyway they don't feel it, they'd rather intellectualize it and make profit out of it.

Travel / Whats your favourite Polish city and why? [132]

Gdynia. It's small enough to make you feel you know your surroundings well. Has good number of tourists and foreigners to make you feel worldly enough. Poeple are friendlier then where I come from. Love the coffee shop culture there. The beach perhaps isn't the greatest but you're minutes away from Sopot by convenient transportation and can always go to Gdansk to have it all big. Love Świętojańska street; could go back and forth and riding trolejbusy is fan and quiet. Women dress up pretty, old folks are grounded. Best barber shop in Gdynia. HSW Gdynia. Beach volleyball summer every day. Cool dogs. Good manners. Could live there every summer for 2 months.
