Reaction To Legendy Polskie | Film Jaga | Allegro

[@Yhvothlohurintis]

Answering your question, these are commonly known stories and legends, and most of society knows these well. Twardowsky was discussed in primary school for example. Baba Yaga was a fairytale used to scare kids by the older generation. I would say, if somebody in Poland wouldn't know this, most people would assume that this person has lived under a rock or is illiterate.

[@paulinarapicka]

Baba Yaga is used to scare children not to enter the woods on their own. All those stories were told to me by my parents and grandparents, as a "goodnight story", or I watched/read about them at a young age. I remember my fav bedtime story was "Smok Wawelski" (somewhat represented by "Smok" by Allegro), and I always wanted to hear only it, when asked by my dad what bedtime story I wanted.

[@kubackak.8470]

Raz , dwa, trzy…baba Jaga patrzy 🙈

this. every child hears about baba yaga your granny when you are very young. it's a popular fairy tale with many different variants of the classic story about evil witch living in the woods.

Boże, to on za to odpowiada? Pierwszy raz to widzę, to jest świetnie zrobione, wspaniałe, pierwsze co pomyślałem że ludzie od tego powinni zrobić wiedźmina. Jak pan Bagiński z takim szacunkiem i CV mógł tak upaść. To straszne. Tak jak Vega, zaczął od mocnego i świetnego serialu pitbull, a potem poszedł w najgorsze gówno czyli "wybieram powszechnie nielubianą lub kontrowersyjną grupę zawodową, przypiszę jej najgorsze cechy spodziewane przez idiotów i półgłówków, pokażę to tak że to jest niby norma mimo że opieram się na kilku/nastu przypadkach, po czym na moje filmy będą przychodzić debile zajadając popcorn i pokazując palcem na ekran w geście że wszystko co myśleli to się właśnie potwierdziło i zostało udowodnione filmem Vegi.

[@Plomien-wq5ke]

@@vmaxguy2610 tylko wiesz, Vega przynajmniej poszedł w cyniczne klepanie kasy i, do pewnego momentu, robił to skutecznie. A Bagiński dotknął Wjejśmina....bo ciężko to postawić obok Wiedźmina, pr-owo to wspierał i zrobił klapę finansową. Vega tam zawsze miał jakiś pomysł na siebie, a Bagiński poszedł za woke -owym stadem.

[@_DUx]

@@Plomien-wq5ke to ze Baginski pracuje przy wiedzminie to nic zlego - kontrakt podpisany, robota ma byc wykonana. Nie mowcie mi ze do momentu dramy z H.Cavillem nie jaraliscie sie Wieskiem jak dzieci. Wiesiek mial ogromny potencjal a wykonanie pierwszych 2 sezonow bylo fenomenalne (mowie o pracy Baginskiego). Obstawiam ze po zakonczeniu wspolpracy z w/w seria, B wroci do serii z Allegro.

[@StrielokLive]

Bagiński nie umie w pełny metraż, a sam mówił, że właśnie pełny metraż to przestarzała forma kina. Nic dziwnego, że pełny metraż Legend Polskich nie powstał. No do tego trzeba dodać polskie firmy które zdychają jak tylko ktoś da większy hajs na robotę xD

[@srokoszuio1]

One important thing that isn't explicitly mentioned in the movie is that Perun is slavic god of thunder, one of the strongest slavic gods.

[@niktniewiem4785]

The strongest. Boruta here is in fact Weles form slavic mythology. The main at first ally and then opponent of Perun. Their constant fight explained the world cycle of death and rebirth materialised by the seasons and day/night cycle. In the mythology tho, Perun was the one who always won and imprisoned Weles in the underground over and over again.

[@MaciejBogdanStepien]

Not a god of thunder but the thunder itself; not one that wields this "thingy," but the destruction itselfL the shock, the hit, the carnage; the disastrous outcome. Not a "God of Thunder" but a thunder itself. That's what Perun was.

[@tamashii6670]

​​​@@niktniewiem4785Weles was much more, he wasn't really bad, he wasn't devil or something like thay. He also helped people a lot in life and after life, souls were safe and didn't became demons because Weles guarded them. He was not only god of underworld and death, but also guardian of souls, cattle, harvest, he gave people gifts (December 6th) and many others. Unfortunately christians made him only devil, only negative traits... Slavic mithology is much more complicated. And, to be correct, in that war between day and night etc., it's Weles and Swaróg, god of heaven. There are records about Czarnobóg and Białobóg, but second name was probably formed by christians who didn't understand slavic beliefs and because of first name, they create second. But these two gods were fighting when they were creating world, but after that they cooperated many times, Swaróg was stronger, so he was god of heaven, and Weles was god of underground. But yeah, there was legend about battle between Perun and Weles' embodiment called Żmij, it was huge snake/dragon, many of Perun's duties were given to st. George, who was fighting with dragon, is it coincidence? So no, Perun wasn't strongest, Swaróg was, but in all religions with more than one god, some older gods are less revered than younger, newer gods, the same was here, Perun was newer god in slavic mithology than Swaróg. In times of christianisation Slavs had three main gods, Perun, Weles and Mokosz, that's why christian god is in three forms here, it was different on russian lands, there were two main gods. And, I don't think so that devil in this series is Weles, it's just christian devil, nothing more, nothing less. ;)

Jaga in Slavic mythology was also known as a witch, a Forest(Nature) Protector and the one that innitiates the change from child into an adult. As those changes also personified "death" - the end of one stage of life to the beginning of other, it was used by Grimm brothers to paint Jaga as an awful witch that eats children. Perun is a Slavic God of Thunder- an equivalent of Zeus and Boruta was right to be worried as noone wanted to be touched by his wrath.

[@agnieszkazuk]

Welcome to this group of people who would love to, really love to see more of Legendy Polskie! They are brilliant movies, smart, funny and pleasant to watch, equal to American blockbusters. I'm amazed by them :-) It would be great to see more... When I was younger I knew Baba Jaga, an old witch living in a forest in the house on the chicken's leg. There is also a comic book I used to read and love "Kajko i Kokosz". Kokosz's aunt Jaga is a good witch there.

[@agatapiekarska4203]

These legends and fairy tales are widely known in Poland. My parents and grandparents read them to me when I was a small child, especially my mother and grandmother. Great memories. Besides, we learn them in elementary school. Many Polish poets and writers used Polish folklore in their works, for example Adam Mickiewicz. Currently in Poland there is a fashion for Slavic motifs in literature and not only. My older sister used to scare me with Baba Yaga.😎😂

Meh, if they only had some really seriuos money to make all the seasons with every kind on MC featured... Just imanige what that staff could have accomplish... Thank you !!!

[@zorzyk6790]

The Yaga film is a consequence of what Twardowsky did in the second part when he gained access to Boruta's computer. By deleting files, he removed many of the protections and took the opportunity to escape. Besides, she was not the only one who took advantage of the opportunity, so the topic for shooting other stories was developmental.

[@_DUx]

Every single episode and music video from allegro series is connected :)

[@boleklolek9918]

Watch the"wywiad z Boruta" !! 🔥🔥👌 This audio is mindblowing ! Everybody in Poland knows the Slavic mitology🤫 The actors are: Boruta - Tomasz Drabek and journalist - Krystyna Janda (one of the famous Polish actress)

[@doniczkowamaruda1893]

It is so old serie. I am so happy that finally people outside of Poland watch it. This episode is my favourite too and I cry each time on this episode. Seeing BabaJaga's reaction for destroying of nature is so close me. Thank you for making polish people pround of Legendy Polskie❤

All the people cannot believe that there will not be the continuation. Sad. Great Acting, Great camera, great music, hundreds of "easter eggs" for polish people.

[@christophers.8178]

briefly, about 1000 years ago, when the first Christians came to Poland, Boruta, an inferior demon, made a deal with the hierarchs of the church with a trick to imprison pagan gods, all those who sided with Perun, the most powerful god of the Slavs, were imprisoned in hell, including Boruta's daughter Jaga, Twardowski was alchemist for one of the kings of Poland and sold his soul to the devil in exchange for a philosopher's stone or something like that, I don't remember exactly and for several hundred years he has been able to escape death and give his soul to the devil.

[@Extra_Onions]

we learnt the original legends in primary school. this was just a fun interpretation for us. but if it brings more people into our culture (like the Witcher also does) that's great.

It's also important to add: Jaga is using very old version of Polish, her speach is really like from middle ages. Super nice spicy adding, in my opinion. The cell where Perun is kept - there are marks of ancient Slavic symbols of Ręce Boga - Hand's of a God. It's the symbol of highest possible divinity. Whole series is full of those extremely cool details, which you are able to pick up, only if you have very strong and deep understanding of Polish culture.

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

Like people already mentioned, the series is based on legends we all learn when we're children. And we all felt the same when it turned out there wouldn't be more episodes 😭 (I remember waiting after Jaga with friends and checking and there was nothing new appearing for years)

[@mieczysawpastafarianski8901]

You left out the music videos that were also part of the story. Jaga in a cell, Boruta's assistant with the stumps of angel wings, Marysia while playing. There are a lot of jokes and meanings that you will only understand when you watch the whole thing for the second or third time. There is also a lot that is understandable only to Poles, e.g. the end of the bazyliszek and the fact that they didn't let him into the Legia match, I howled with laughter, you didn't even notice it

[@pathfinderpolska]

During communism, until the end of the 80s, we had poor films due to the low budget for cinematography and the habit of employing actors who supported the communist party, i.e. any communist with connections could be an actor. We had many good actors, but their work was limited to the theater. That is why, after the fall of communism, we had a flood of actors who graduated from traditional acting schools and who could play at a very high level. For a long time, acting schools were popular, but recently it is changing and just like in the west, anyone who does not have talent but with a little luck, connections or stubbornness can become a celebrity actor or other type of star. Currently, the quality of pop culture is low and pearls such as "legends" are rare, and we probably won't see good cinematography again unless… Baba Yaga turns our world upside down and we build it anew.

[@anuskas9244]

Yaga and Baba Yaga are two different people and two different legends

[@TheRezro]

Baba Yaga is pan-slavic folklore. Eda from Owl Hat is inspired by her, Cockatrice (Basilisk) is also common representative fantasy bestiary. Witcher series did a lot to popularize many aspects of slavic folklore. Though technically Witches, Werewolves and Vampires are staples of Horror (what is largely inspired by Slavic folklore, including Monster from Lagoon aka Vodyanoy). Twardowski is only less known legend worldwide, but Poles joke that "Poland can't to space" because of him. It is quite shame that series was so short. From top of my head they should also do Sleeping Warriors and Bies'es.

[@imropietruszka]

You see my friend, our Slavic mythology, our old beliefs and part of our traditions were destroyed and replaced by Christianity (the SWAT analogy to the expansion and aggression of Christianity in this video is perfect). Many of our people do not know how much we have in common with the northern peoples (the Vikings, Goths and Varangians for example). It deprived us of some of our identity and also weakened us. However, this is changing, many Poles are looking for our foundations, our roots and our old faith, it will slowly (to some extent) replace Christianity, because we will realize that this is our power. The same goes for you... Scots.

[@KochamGry]

There's also "Jaskółka uwięziona - Cover. Atanas Valkov & Georgina Tarasiuk. Legendy Polskie" but here the performance of the music is more impressive.

As you know Allegro unfortunately didn't finish "Legendy Polskie" series. Hopefully, some day someone would appear brave and rich enough to continue this work. But there are still few gems in this universum left. I would like to recommend you one of my favourites: "cichosza". It is a cover of "Cichosza" by Grzegorz Turnau from 1993. Please, listen to the original (which is really nice and interesting song), and then try this one done by Allegro: "Cichosza - Cover. Marcin Macuk & Krzysztof Zalewski. Legendy Polskie" I'm really looking forward to you reacting to these and comparing them 😊 Enjoy and have a fantastic day! ♥

our Yaga like a ninja. In the European tradition, there is a well-known figure of an old woman called Baba Yaga in fairy tales. In Polish Legends, Yaga is young and very sensitive to changes in the world.

We all feel your pain in Poland, there is lot of fans of these mini productions. Unfortunately investors were not found. These series were produced as promotion of Allegro (ebay equivallent).. Maybe one day.. They are deeply rooted in old Polish/Slavic mythology which most of pre-internet generation are well aware off. My favourite is the one about Twardovsky (with modern one actually on the moon by spaceship)

Baba Jaga is old tale in Poland, but the way she is presented here also follows polish and overall slavic folklore of Spring as a goddess that is responsible for life reborn after Winter. This was before christianity possibly one of the most important aspect of slavic religion because Spring defeats death and reborn all life and she was worshipped. It was adopted by christianity as Eastern. Spring is believed to be the force of nature or just Nature. Perun is old slavic god of Earth and everything above water. Piorun is modern polish term for thunder. which derives from Perun. He is similar to Zeus or even more as Thor in other cultures. The opposite to Perun is Weles - god of underwold and water. Tale says they met on the sea - Perun floating in boat and Weles emerged from the sea. They created landmass from the sand of the bottom of the sea with the assistance of Weles who bring it from the bottom to Perun. Weles tried to trick Perun and wanted to rule the land but he was unable to bring it from the bottom of the sea in his name - as it was dispersed by water before he reached the top. After many attempts he brought the land from the bottom of the sea in Peruns name and succeeded. Perun managed from single part of sand to multiply it and create landmass. Weles wanted to rule the land as well as sea and tried to take it from Perun by force and long fight emerged during which both assembled deamons which during the eternal fight created clouds and Moon. Perun created Eagle and Weles a Snake. They fought until Weles had to run back to sea and Perun ensnared the snake with Tree of Life roots. Weles becomes god of underwold, sea and death and is cunning. Perun rules earth, land, skies or heaven and thunders and is associated with force and power. Snake tries to escape which casues from time to time earth to crack open and then Perun strike Earth with Thunder to calm the Snake. Fragile peace was achieved.

This series was the best thing that polish cinematography made within last decade or even two. So sad they discontinued this.

If you want to know more about those characters, check music videos from allegro, like Aleja Gwiazd. There you will get background for some of them.
