man of marble and animal farm

i have to say I really like films directed by Andrzej Wajda. even though I have only seen two this and Ashes and Diamonds. I think I like Ashes and Diamonds more but this movie is still really good. It's about a young female director trying to make her dipolma film (i guess thesis film really but thats what they call it in the movie) about this 1950s bricklayer, Birkut, who was briefly a proletariat hero.
The character of the film maker is very good and shows how good Wajda is with creating characters. Really her movements and manerisms showed so much of who she was really great acting.
This is what some say a Polish Citizen Kane. Well I guess it is but whateva.
The music is really really good and has this weird kinda Talking Heads vibe even though they didn't come out with there first album until a year later.
I really do think this is a good movie and worth checking out. Polish film making is often ignored so if you do see it you can look extra smart in front of your friends and I won't tell them i told you about it.


This one is probably easy to find in the $1 dvd section. I don't know about much else. Apprently this is britians first animated film. i have found nothing to prove that wrong so i guess it is.
The film has good animation and voice acting and you can probably show it to your kids or something. also it costs a dollar which is the best part.
I havn't read the book in a while but most of it seemed to be the same and it defently got it's point across. The ending is changed cause the CIA apprently paid for it and wanted a more anit communist ending. you might say that's not coo but film backers do that kinda shit all the time so it's not that shocking really. anyway i found the whole thing on you tube. so if you have like 73 minutes with nothing to do you can watch it. it's on 8 different videos but i will post the first one. if you click on the user guys name you cna find all of them it's pretty good and free so check it out
