Anecdotes

Gaffes
The movie depicts the massacre of 25 October 1956 on Kossuth Square very naturally, yet incorrectly. It's true that there were Soviet tanks on the square, and the Russian soldiers were friendly towards the demonstrators before the shooting began. But they never shot at the people. They realized that they are under fire from the rooftops and fired back. If you know where to look, you can still the spot where a tank shell has hit the top floor of a building in 1956.

I attended the screening for this movie at the Mann Bruin in Westwood. At the end of the movie I did not want to leave my seat. I wanted more. I am not quite sure what I wanted to see? Perhaps a commentary on the lives of the Water Polo Players? I wanted to know what they did after the game? I wanted to know how their lives turned out? I didn't want the movie to end.

The scenes about the AVO brought back sad memories. It was a brutal organization. My family had first hand experience with them. The movie is a "must see" for anyone, not only Hungarians. The sub-titles were easy to follow for anyone who does not speak the language.

The movie was emotional and especially meaningful to me. I left Hungary in 1956.

October 22, 2007. Does anyone have any idea why this movie is not available anywhere here in the USA? I have purchased 4 DVDs for my family on our recent trip to Hungary, only to find out that we cannot play them on our DVD players (Region 1) It is very disappointing.
