Audience Member Incredible epic, I can't even begin to describe how awesome a ride this was! The characters, the stories, the battles, the costumes, the score, and the photography are all spot on inspiring and incredibly simple to both grasp and enjoy. Everything adds to the atmosphere, the wintry setting is beautiful, and every emotion is tapped. Marching armies, grand churches, deep woods, betrayal, redemption, romance, friendship, partriotism... I love this movie! P.S: Poles can eat sausage while fighting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best Polish production Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member evergreen. for multiple viewing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The most amazing piece from polish cinema. Grand project made in big style with the best cast. Its a 17th century historical drama based on book from one of the greatests polish writters. Politics and love mixed together in one picture from one of the best polish directores. Absolute monument for polish people, classic which runs in tv every christmas, easter and bank holidays:))) Seriously, realy good one! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish Hoffman was the one who made "The Teutonic knights" too. He seems to be a parfect match for Henryk Sienkiewicz's novels. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the book, but the movie just drags on. I definitely noticed the communist influence, as there was no mention of the Russians, and there was minimal attention paid to the massive uprising (deluge) of people that rose against the Swedish occupiers. While the book is as much about Poland as it is about Kmicic, the protagonist, the movie is mostly about Kmicic. The acting was spot-on, though.
