Leave your thoughts about Wałesa: Man of Hope.
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungThe kind of superior biopic which actually makes you feel like you are there. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA movie with terrific force and irresistible storytelling gusto - and a first-rate lead performance by Robert Wieckiewicz. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsThe turbulent life and times of Lech Walesa forms the basis for this superior biopic from Polish legend Andrzej Wajda. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe secret police after the December 1970 strikes at the Gdansk Shipyard. Yet the steely dissident, played by Robert Wieckiewicz, never really comes into focus as a private person. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichThe portrait Wajda and screenwriter Januscz Glowacki create is so reverent, it drains the life out of Walesa's story. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaUma aulinha de História burocrática, mesmo que seu protagonista se mostre tão importante. |
| User ReviewHoward SA must for all those interested. Funny and so true! Wajda's 65 years younger, so much creativity and energy! |
| User ReviewDaniel BOne of the best poilsh films. Great actors Robert Wieckiewicz and Agnieszka Grochowska, beautifull music and impressing directing. |
| User ReviewStephen CWhen I was growing up one of the tings I clearly remember was the Polish dock strike in Gdansk and its moustachioed leader Lech Walesa. Now legendary director Andrzej Wajda gives us the story behind the headlines . Walesa was always a troublemaker but when the communist dream begins to turn sour he begins to question the rising prices and poverty most of his friends and co workers find themselves in. The films follows Walesa as he is pursued and persecuted by the authorities for speaking out leading to him being arrested numerous times and at one point being held against his will while events unfolded in the shipyards and the creation of the Solidarity union movement of which Walesa became the figurehead. Wajda combines actual footage with his actors and the film shows just how tough the communists were when it came to the to the subject of civil rights for all. Some may find this all a bit worthy and earnest but I have to say I was gripped from the very start and the film covers a vital part in the eventual downfall of the Iron Curtain government's. |
| User ReviewMauricio MUn filme que busca resaltar la importancia del político polaco y defensor de los derechos humanos LECH WALESA quien jugó un papel decisorio en la transformación de la antigua Unión Soviética y el cambio del bloque comunista hacia una economía de Libre Mercado. Lo que su director Andrzej Wajda busca con la pelicula, es que las nuevas generaciones conozcan esta importante figura quien recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1983 por su labor humanitaria y social. |
