Now or Never!

For the price of this film, four really good historical movies could have been made. You could also make a good action film about 1848 and not just about the fight for independence. It could even have been about Commander-in-Chief von Lederer, who in May of 1848 actually used a gun to break up the demonstration held against him in Buda.

Contrary to what is shown in the film as fiction, like fighting with knives and guns, shootings, jumping out the window, pregnant action heroine...you can't make this up.

This much nonsense and ahistoricity can only be condensed into more than two hours on purpose.

Actualy the facts Tell the story. The movie is indeed so bad, that none is wanting to see it. At this moment it can be seen free of charge. Yet , none wants to see it. A few payd actors do give this movie a higher Than 1 star rating , but the reality is , its not even worth zero stars.

But lets see the good side. If ever you are disapointed by a movie , Just think about thisone. And presto , you will see, it could had been worse. Way worse.

Ironic, but this is the only way this movie can make some sense. A lot of money was put in it , a lot of absolutely wasted efforth. The end result is anything but coherent. Allso its not historicly accurate .

I don't know where to start. Really really bad acting - as usual, totally no historical background check, cheap game of thrones knock off music, I kinda also get a western movie vibe off it. It's a big big mess, if we compare this movie to a house, than it's a gold coated mansion which was built on a swamp from cheap materials and has no electricity, no water whatsoever. It makes the news for one day, then it is forgotten forever rotting in the overgrown bushes. You can see that they poured tons of money in it, but still managed to create an empty vessel of a film. This is so sad. I am so sad. This era would have deserved a quality movie, not this... thing.

Even if this was an Oscar winning production (which it isn't), due the fact that it was made of government subsidies given to a crony instead of real, talented artists on merit, it should not even be on IMBD. This is the equivalent of rating a tampon commercial produced and paid by P&G. Most of Hungary's best talents are working in other countries now. Too bad because the subject of the movie deserves better treatment.

The movie itself uses lots of violence to depict a revolution that was essentially peaceful. It also uses as a premise the use of the Hungarian language for the revolution which is misleading as Budapest was 80% German speaking at the time.

In conclusion, good tax payer money was wasted (again) just to glorify the self serving interests of some government cronies. This project (I am not calling it a movie on purpose) does not deserve to be here, amongst real movies made by real artists.

Philip Rákay got a lot of money to create a good movie and he tried. In this small country, we have good creators, but he is a propagandist.

In 2015: Son of Saul. 01:47 mins and the cost: 450m HuF (4m HuF/min) In 2016: Sing. 00:25 mins and the cost: 10m HuF (400.000 HuF/min)

This movie is 02:15 mins and the cost: 6564m HuF (48.6m HuF/min). We can spend a lot, but it is not correlate with the quality. The acting was bad. The scripts were empty. The history has been changed. This is a boring movie with a few good episodes.

This story required a much more better movie because it is a very significant event in Hungarian history.
