Pollywood

Thought it was really creative movie. Really messy structure and progression. The main character and director Pavel Ferdek is such a troll. There is one part, where he walks up to the policemen and says that they should let him in since Polish people originated Hollywood. Obviously big parts of the film were tongue and cheek. Enjoyed it as someone who is from Eastern Europe, the opening scenes showing his small town and how the Polish immigrants were doing all sorts of wacky stuff just not to starve.

My favorite part were the conversations between Pavel and the big time directors and producers where the talk seems semi genuine, semi troll. He gives them vodka as a gift, how stereotypically funny is that.

If you watch this documentary you'd think that Hollywood was created by Polish immigrants. It manages to basically ignore the fact that they were Jewish. It's like like making a documentary about blues and say it was created by Americans, without mentioning they were black. A Polish director, trying to give Poles credit for what was a Jewish creation, while the reason they left Poland was the terrible anti-sémitism. Not a word about why they left.
