Reaction To Legendy Polskie | Film Jaga | Allegro

[@varabi]

The series consists of several short films that are a modern interpretation of legends known in Poland. "Jaga" is not the first part. Jaga (the witch - the title character) was freed from hell through the actions of another character introduced in the earlier part. Part 1: Smok Part 2: Twardowsky Part 3: Twardowsky 2.0 Part 4: Operacja Bazyliszek Part 5: Jaga

[@tomaszjedrzejec4479]

These films are based on Slavic mythology, Polish history and literature. These are simply the roots of Polishness. Perun is an ancient pre-Christian god of thunder at a time when the Slavs worshiped ancient trees and groves. Jaga is a combination of witches and children's literature. Witches were called old, so-called knowing women who often treated people with herbs. The Church persecuted them and sometimes burned them at the stake. The legend said that witches fly on brooms and meet on Łysa Góra, dancing naked there all night long.

Baba Yaga is the most powerful female demon in Slavic mythology. She was a force of nature neither good nor evil. Witch in Polish means "woman who knows". They treated, delivered babies and sometimes, when someone got sick, they cast curses ;) Perun is our Thor.

the best thing is that most of those who comment on this film leave out the music at the end and this is one of the most important parts

Also not many seems to know about music videos for the songs that are side stories tied to the series.

[@zielak79pl]

​@@Diveyl it's called spinof

[@Diveyl]

@@zielak79pl I have called them music videos, but if you call them spinoff then I can say that they are part of the story. Aleja gwiazd MV could be classified as prequel, taking place before Smok Film, and is and origin story of "Lucy". Cichosza MV should be before Twardowski 1.0, also Mad Max vibe there with car chicken. This could be regarded as spinoff. Mój jest ten kawałek podłogi take place directly after Bazyliszek Film, as it is tied chronologically with it. Jaskółka uwięziona MV takes place before Jaga Film while Kocham wolność MV in theory takes after. Jezu jak się cieszę MV can be regarded as Spinoff take any spot, could be even first in the series as it is a story of (accordingly to the cake) 333 (half of 666) birthday of litte Marysia.

[@netti8571]

notice that female vocals when she wakes up- this is special traditional slavic singing called white voice/white singing. it's special type of voice emitting, sometimes compared more to sing-speach but with full flow of air through vocal system from depth of the lungs. i cant explain it in english, try google it. what is for me kind of similar (if fact it's different technique tho) is mongolian throat singing

[@kasia.marcindomek2958]

Perun is Slavic version of Thor. His name means Lightning/Thunder. Song at the end goes "Freedom, I love and understand, Freedom, I can't give it up"

Allegro (a company like Amazon in Poland) have sponsored a series of short movies covering old Polish legends. But with a twist from the creators: Imagine that: Once Poland was Christianized, the old demons and pagan gods/goddesses were imprisoned in Hell, as with the advent of Christianity the Hell, real Hell, entered the scene. And the guys from Hell represent a corporate entity. They are serious, they are a corporation, and they mean business. You don't f**k with them. Boruta is the director, Rokita is his right-hand man. They locked up all the pre-Christian demons and deities, and started to lure human (Polish) souls to hell. No time for amateurs. The Hell has opened business in Poland. That's the background story, more or less. Yaga is one of the most powerful, pre-Christian demons. Perun (the god of thunder) is the top deity, but it's not clear how they got him. One thing is for sure: they are afraid of him. Very afraid.

[@nieznaszmnie00]

Legendy Polskie Allegro is a mini series of few short videos (10-20 min) referring to Polish legends and folk tales. Authors had a plan to create a longer full-length movie after those videos but unfortunately it was not created.

[@pawlisko11111]

W tym krótkim filmie jest zawarta cała treść polskości czyli piękno,siła, gniew ,tajemniczość, czytanie między wierszami,tysiące lat historii tej znanej i nieznanej- magicznej ,brutalna prawda, szeroko otwarte serce, zemsta , przyjaciele wrogowie ,bezinteresowność, pomoc. Tak ogólnie jeżeli ktoś chce oglądać polskie musi pierw poznać historię Polski, ona była jest i pewnie dalej będzie bardzo skomplikowana, nie pierwszy raz spotykam się z określeniem że w tej naszej Polsce jest coś magicznego i skomplikowanego trudnego do zrozumienia a zarazem tak prostego do pojęcia

[@kasia.marcindomek2958]

I needed to watch your reaction to get how deep this movie is rooted in our legends and culture, really hard to get all at once if you are from different culture.

[@1984sarna]

To motyw tylko legendy "Baba Jaga" osadzony we współczesnych czasach pokazany w stylu fantastyki i komedii zarazem,,, Trochę trudne nieznając legend polskich w oryginale. Pomysł rezysera jednak genialny i zrobił całą ich serię,,,😉

[@thelyricologist9568]

Yaga refers to Baba Yaga, a mythological Slavic woman who is a mixture of what real witches were (knowing herbal medicine, cures etc.) and a supernatural, slightly devilish old woman who flies on a broomstick. And the movie is just part of sa series that depicts Polish/Slavic legends (including Baba Yaga) in a modern setting. It is half-comedic, half-dramatic, half-joking and light, and half-serious and heavy. it is a real pity that only so few were created. For instance the legend about Mr. Twardowsky (Pab Twardowski in Polish) was made into two parts, and the third part was suppoed to be made, but the funds were gone (or they droped the idea, I am not sure). And I am certain the third part would be even better than excellent parts 1 and 2. Also, in all of those movies some of famous Polish actors play. 🙂

[@greghops9452]

Baba Jaga, to był demon. Ze staropolskiego Jęga, to męka.

[@deluxis4991]

Jaga or Yaga is a very intresting character form slavic mythology. She was shown as a old and evil and terryfing woman but also sometimes as a very kind woman helping people and healing them. She is known in pop culture for example John Wick was called Baba Yega by russian mafia. But no matter how she was shown she was always a very powerful demon/goddess.

[@christopherkowalczyk4405]

I've seen theories that Baba Yaga was a prime deity before the Slavic pantheon took the form it had before Christianity came to the region. She was relegated to the status of a monster or force of nature in the same way that local gods were rebranded as demons when populations became Christians. It would make sense with the archeological record of populations coming out of the steppes and removing or merging with populations in different parts if Europe in the Neolithic era.

[@cezaryczech3817]

​@@christopherkowalczyk4405Jaga=Gaja

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

I think you'd have more fun watching if you went with the order (somebody already mentioned the order in comments) and if you read a bit first about the legends these videos retell in a modern way - there are many references (like even the tiny detail that right after they mention Perun and a risk that Jaga might let him out of his cell, there's a lightning - Perun in Slavic mythology was a lot like Thor in Nordic mythology). Those films are short but packed :)

[@WkurzonaWrona]

Oh, I love "Legends" based on slavic mythology. They were sooo goood. In a book Yaga was almost a daughter to Boruta.

[@andrzejangowski1840]

"The figure of Baba Yaga (Yaga), probably originally important in Slavic mythology, survived only in a degraded form as an element of folklore. She appears there as an old, hideous witch (sagging breasts, one bone leg, blind or visually impaired), living in a hut on a chicken's foot deep in the forest. Baba Yaga was often accompanied by a black cat, a raven, an owl or a snake. She kidnapped people wandering in the forest (especially children), then murdered and ate them. She was also credited with sending diseases and other ailments. At the end of the story, she usually fought a fight with the positive hero and died. Occasionally in folklore there is a motif of the gracious Baba Yaga helping people." Translate from Polish Wikipedia.

[@christopherkowalczyk4405]

I've seen theories that Yaga was the original main deity for the Slavic regions. A personification of nature, it can nurture or destroy you. And like you said she was relegated to a lower level when new tribes from the steppes brought their religion that has the sky father (Perun) as the main or major deity.

[@adrianalepocoto7363]

The Legendy Polskie Allegro Basilisk was first short film about it. Its just short films - Basilisk, Yaga, Twardowsky (part one and two) and Smok

[@yovee5912]

[@Gosia256]

Original Baba Jaga was a very powerful witch, who learnt the witchcraft from the god of undergroung and realm of dead called Weles. Weles in old time was equal to Perun and often pictured as his opponent. Jaga in this movie is more of combination of other Slavic goddesses like Mokosz. All our goddeses were equal to gods, powerfull, proud and not affraid to fight. Our old god and goddesses always lived in synchrony with nature. Same for smaller fantastic creatures like gnoms, elfs (rusalki), various beasts. Catholic church turned them into demons, evil spirits and where they couldn't get rid of them, they incorporated into religious practices as a part od cult of Mother of God or Easter etc. Even though we no loger practice or remember those gods and godesses, they are still deeply embeded in our culture, language, traditions and deep love for nature and forest. Freedom is something deeply embeded in our souls and hearts just like those old gods, even if we do not remember them...

She is a character based on baba Yaga from Slavic legends: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga - but since the whole series is retelling legends in a new way, she is here younger, more like a personified force of nature. As many characters from folklore, she is not definitely bad or good.
