“...I am dying in Los Angeles, the cultural Siberia of America.” I’M SOLD!! Added to my queue. Leonardo DiCaprio is executive producer so I have faith this will be good. The visuals are stunning! Yes, Netflix, more documentaries like these.

[@SpawnTreeCSGO]

What does he mean by that?

[@SpawnTreeCSGO]

@@_Up_Down Oh okay, thanks for the explanation. Sorry to be a pest - but you're good at explaining. Could you help me understand the quote "the cultural Siberia of America"?

[@makorek]

[@rotocope2]

That guy clearly never visited Connecticut haha

[@mr.q8426]

@@SpawnTreeCSGO I think Szukalski using this expression tried to shoot two birds with one stone. From one hand it was a clear criticism of the "western flatness " of mass culture and commercialism which he'd compared to Cracow at that time ( cultural capitol of Poland, stunning city). On the other hand Siberia was a place of exile to many Poles who were brutally forced to go there against their own will. So taking into consideration Szukalski's personal history when he left Cracow not by his decision but as an result of WWII events I think you can see his expression from this angle too. I hope this will give some clarity :)

Szukaski was charismatic, super talented and a genius artist, but also pretty dishonest and scientifically illiterate.

No artist, race or political venue escaped his criticism. His conception of a huge elliptical statuary monument, inspired by Golden Age Grecian art which included sculptures of all the great heroes of every country on the Earth was phenomenal . That idea alone, revealed his true nature as a universalist, a lover of an Earth with no boundaries. I hope this monument materializes in some peace loving country in some future century.

Mr Szukalski was a great artist, and a philosopher. He had deserved much more recognition and promotion for his art during his lifetime. Isn't life cruel? It just proves one proverb: - It's not important what do you know, but who do you know. Suffice to say, that it would have taken just one good sponsor with connections to the art world, to make his work known to the world. Just look at the videos about him on the You Tube, - there can be, like 50 thousand views, but only 9 comments. Doesn't it show, that most of people watching them, are stunned, and speechless. People's brain is just not prepared, or not flexible enough to comprehend it. That's why, he was ahead of his time. His art should be promoted now, if the world of art is to be considered as an oasis to the creative minds, and not as some mafia type, vacuum sealed, secret society.

Historia podobna do tej, która dotknęła choćby Irenę Sendlerowa. Zachód odkrywa za nas naszych prawdziwych bohaterów i wielkich ludzi, co w państwie tak "wrażliwym" na swoją historię nie powinno mieć miejsca. Wstyd mi za to. Nasz naród wydał wielu wielkich ludzi, o których zapomniano w Polsce i na świecie, może i oni wejdą kiedyś do świadomości masowej dzięki odkryciu ich przez współczesne media. Pan Stanisław Szukalski mówi w tym filmie, między innymi rzecz jasna, o tym, że myślący człowiek powinien zawsze iść pod prąd, myśleć o rzeczywistości niestandardowo. Mam nadzieję, że jest w Polsce takich ludzi sporo, bo nadszedł już czas, by porzucić niszczące nas poczucie nizszosci wobec "Zachodu". Bez podtekstów politycznych, bo nie o takie wstawanie z kolan mi chodziło. 🙂 Polska kultura jest teraz w fenomenalnej formie i należy o tym głośno mówić.

Szukalskim zafascynowałem się pod koniec lat 80.

Artystą tym był Marian "Marzyn " Konarski. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaLCcoaNmb-fapI Zapytałem Konarskiego, jak to jest możliwe, że tak wybitny i wszechstronny artysta jak Szukalski jest całkowicie zapomniany. Konarski mi odpowiedział , że to nie przypadek. Szukalski , ze względu na swój pansłowianizm, afirmację sztuki narodowej i WIELKĄ niechęć do awangardy był całkowicie oraz celowo bojkotowany przez "eskimosów". Został przez środowiska kulturotwórcze( eskimoskie) z PREMEDYTACJĄ skazany na niebyt.

First heard about Szukalski from reading the album notes on a Tool album years ago (the artist's work inspired the band, particularly guitarist Adam Jones - who makes an appearance in this documentary). So many of his works were tragically lost in WWII - when the Nazis succeeded in part in destroying Polish culture.

I had this luck to learn about Him about thirty years ago and I wanted to write my masters degree dissertation only about him but my promoting professor told me that Stach z Warty as He named himself is so unpopular or criticized so that its better to write about him in a hidden way. Therefore I wrote whole work about Polish ART DECO sculptors and so I was able to include Him. The work was a big success and to be able to gather all necessary information about Szukalski I found the way to meet with last living Chief of Art Tribe of Horned Heart that Szukalski created, Mr Marian Konarski from Krzeszowice near Krakow who was named by Szukalski - Marzyn z Krzeszowic. He was meeting me number of times and so gave me all unavailable knowledge about Stach from Warta. Since he became my spiritual guide and inspired my life as he did with life of Mr DiCaprio who portrayed Szukalski in his famous role in the movie TITANIC. Thank you Mr Di Caprio for making Mr Szukalski immortalized in your works. By the way, exactey as Mr Konarski told me, original black and white documentation images of Szukalski sculptures which were stolen in Katowice after germans destroyed his artworks reemerged as Konarski was always predicting, and recently were offered on EBAY for about $800 a piece by the guy who also offered many nazi books. What a coincidence............

[@aigen-journey]

So do you think it's a faithful image of Szukalski? It seems that his short polish period, with strong nationalistic and antisemitic views, is what is most difficult for many to understand. It seems he was a megalomaniac and he always felt undervalued and the moment the nationalists in Poland told him he is a genius, commissioned work, he went 110% in that direction. Just judging by the documentary he never acknowledged what he did was wrong in that period (he says he never did anything to be ashamed of or something similar). If you had the opportunity to talk to someone who knew him personally, especially in that part of his life, I wonder do you think the movie does him justice? To be clear, I think his art is extraordinary and worth every praise, but it's hard to completely disconnect the art from the artist, especially when the ones that cherish him and remember (or at least some of his work ) are mostly polish neonazis and nationalists.

Hey everyone ! In general, the documentary is very successful. It looks great and as for someone from Poland it is very nice that the world finally learned about Mr. Stanisław. On the other hand, I am disappointed with the attitude of Mr. Dicaprio and this embarrassing fragment in which they describe Mr. Szukalski's views from his youth. Their sound is almost akin to how Mr. Szukalski belonged to the SS. Anti-Semitism was widespread throughout Europe in the 1930s, but the difference was that people were frustrated with Jewish ghettos and the lack of assimilation among Jews. Nobody, however, wanted to murder them on an industrial scale like Germany! Also, equating Mr Stanisław's views with what we today call anti-Semitism (after war events) is not an agreement. And Mr. Dicaprio, if he is so shocked by events that Szukalski himself is ashamed of, let him return all his work and do not attack the man who can no longer defend himself. Greetings from Poland

it's ok. the internet is vast and the world population is huge. there will always be some people who see something from a very narrow perspective and fixate on one section of a longer story. There is no use in fighting everyone. A major lesson from this film is about human development. I do believe at some point Szukalski's fervor and bitterness (of his work being undervalued by critics, many who happened to be Jewish and from his perception not keen on traditional Slavic/pagan themes) may have blinded him to a broader compassion and understanding and he needed something to blame. When Germany attacked Poland and he saw the destruction that arose from this nation's feelings of superiority and entitlement and I'm sure that was humbling as hell when everything went up in flames. I'm sure he deeply regretted any such sentiments, and just didn't want to talk about it. I think he was full of shame about it. For all the bold "talk" he didn't maintain any anti-semitic statements after the war, given his personality if he felt bigoted towards Jews he'd be loud about it. Instead he talked about the culture and history and seemed to have a deep respect and thought of Jews as an important part of Polish history and culture. On the flip side, any Polish people who are in complete denial that Szukalski may have held such sentiments, also need to ease up and realize that anti-semitism was not just folklore but a common sentiment among people in that era. Of course that does not mean everyone felt this way, or acted on their sentiments in any way (with violence or insults, etc..) but some did. And some do today. And when Poles deny this (or people from any other country where disdain for others is common), it just makes the problems worse, because those people are protected and others don't trust Polish people's testimonies on anything then. No use in lying or covering up, and no use in damning people based on a phase in their lifeline or judging everything from out of context.

We need to rewrite the history books...TOTALLY AGREE...

I managed to find his book "Behold the Protong" in a store in LA and it is essentially a rewritten form of history books. He goes into detail about everything, and alot of wonderful symbolic pictures

[@falkens_maze]

I forgot about this and got reminded of it today. The documentary is actually even better than this trailer hints at. Watch it.

[@rotocope2]

If you ALL are interested in this. You should check out Zdzisław Beksiński. He's most underrated fantasy painter.

Netflix... Please produce more documentaries. Yours are some of the best!

[@chloesachikonye3802]

There was a line along the lines of "If someone identifies themselves as being two sides of the same coin, this is troublesome as they can cash out at diffrent tills" I thought that was thought provoking.
