Operatiunea 'Monstrul'

I've seen this movie many times now, and I must tell you it is the best comedy movie ever made in Romania. Everything about it, is extraordinary. First of all is the acting; cast with THE GREAT Toma Caragiu; The are the jokes, intelligent and very funny; And I must say for a romanian movie this old it looks and sound great. See it!

So from my point of view, as a romanian, is that the Operation "The Monster" is a parody of the Romanian communist period. At the beginning are establishing a set of rules, stupid rules like in the communist period. After they are breaking those one by one and everyone is fearing not be seen by another one, like in the communism when you were afraid to say anything even to a friend or a neighbor because you aren't sure that is not working with the security! So, it's a genial parody wich was released IN the communist period when everything against the system was out for the public! 😂😂😂

The movie is an absurd comedy with probably low budget and little "action" if any. Comunist potentates, probably typical characters for the Eastern Europe in the seventies, flee their wives and jobs for a couple of days and go fishing on a quest to hunt down some local myth: a monster of a fish. What makes the movie worth while are the performances by representatives of a great generation of Romanian actors.

Much better than... Alan Alda, for instance, Marin Moraru had a great theater career in Romania but also some film appearances that should place him among the classics of comedy. He should be up there with Chaplin and Buster Keaton. "Operatiunea Monstrul", sadly flawed by poor light, sound, and probably cheap pellicle, is nevertheless a showcase for Marin Moraru, Octavian Cotescu and Toma Caragiu, all "monsters" of Romanian comedy. I only wish someone would translate it in English and circulate it a little. At least the acting classes would greatly benefit from the exposure.

I'd rate it 8 out of 10, if only for patriotism.

my favorite Romanian movie... this and Filantropica rules the comedy.... Toma Caragiu is the most absurd character, but is seducing, is charming... He has the control, but he has nothing.. life is sometimes so simple... You get the big fish if u have luck... that is the lesson... Sometimes we don't have it. I recommend this movie to all the people who said that Romanian comedy is not one in the top of the comedies... Please watch this movie.. You will laugh... And you will laugh... For all the Romanians in the world, smile, we will rule the world someday, but then we will be dead... I said it... Look, this is a stupidity, but in this movie everybody believes the stupidity... They are so naive so ambitious to believe the ideals that they don't respect... But all you can't is good for other...

This is a great movie that's my opinion and I like it that much because it replicates very well the atmosphere of a fishing day in the Delta together with a group of great actors and a very nice storyline.It's a really good comedy, one of the best Romanian comedy's I've seen it many times but I always forgot to see who composed the music / soundtrack so, does anybody know who composed the music or the soundtrack of this movie?I'm interested especially about the final title(generic).I searched desperately on the internet and I haven't found anything, not a single complete archive or description of this movie containing info about the soundtrack. If someone could help me I'd thank you very much
