Rob as for the music this song at the end is actually a new version of an old Polish classic, and on the official music video i think it shows the creation of Lucy and is still connected to the plot web.

@@RobReacts1 There are several channels on UA-cam that listen/share impressions/comment on (also Polish) music. Maybe it's worth trying such an episode with 80-90s hits?
Fun fact. In the study of the devil Boruta in the corner there is a hussar armor. Many enemies of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth considered the hussars to be devilish cavalry (even the horsemen of the apocalypse), but also to be angels (due to their wings).

17:52 Well, he did not survive. He committed a suicide. However thanks to the program he wrote he choose to send his soul back to the body automatically and pull back his body.
The text on screen reveals how Bazyliszek and Jaga were basically freed from Hell during the chaos and this leads to their episodes, which also feature Rokita's cameos. He was supposed to have that Nick Fury-like presence and there were talks of a movie concluding all the threads, but sadly nothing came out of it - and his actor, Piotr Machalica, sadly passed away in 2020.
I've heard that it was postponed because Tomek Bagiński was invited to work with Netflix on The Witcher series. I hope he will work on the Polish Legends the movie when he's free again.
Oh Gosh this would be awesome! I always was sad that these series didn't continue. And also frustrated that the whitcher was such a crap and because of it Legendy project was cancelled
1. Female character name is Lucy - short of Lucyfer 2. Twardowski is the only man that outsmarted the devil, Boruta. He signed a contract with the devil to give his soul in Rome. Boruta cornered him in a tavern named Rome. On their way to hell Twardowski started to pray and managed to get away and landed on the moon. 3. In Poland we say: "where devil can't manage, send the woman". Devil couldn't so he sent devil woman. It is packed with nuances.
Well there are not only Legends like (Bazyliszek, Twardowsky, Smok, Jaga) But clips with songs where is some background story with Lucynka / Lucyfifer aka Hot chick. 🤣 She didnt cheat the devil like Twardowski. 🙂 Director of that series is Bagiński man who was nominated Oscar for short CGA movie Cathedra. And he didnt fuckd like with Witcher Netflix Tv Series. 😆
"Aleja Gwiazd" was a special cover for Lucy's backstory. In the video, we see her personal story of selling her soul to the devil... ;) ua-cam.com/video/fMU2Y4F0BDw/v-deo.html
Mrs. Zdzisława Sośnicka will always be mainly associated with this short performance in the film "Akademia Pana Kleksa". "Sad Princess Song", or otherwise called "Farewell to a fairy tale" like no other song takes me every time to this wonderful childhood period that brings tears to my eyes :) And Mrs. Sośnicka was a very beautiful woman and a great singer: )
However, the new version of "Aleja Gwiazd" is sung by Anna Karwan. Sośnicka has a completely different voice. Anyway, the song was heavily improved for the film and music video.
Niedaleko skrzyżowania ulic Tynieckiej i Sodowej w krakowskich Pychowicach stoi kapliczka. Jest ona postawiona na miejscu karzczmy Rzym, skąd diabeł porwał Twardowskiego i po to żeby żaden wysłannik piekieł już w to miejsce nie zawitał.
17:45 - Dude, you weren't watching carefully. Read what's on the computer and listen to what they said earlier. Souls can be taken to hell, or left in purgatory, or returned to the body using this old PC. He gained access and changed the data himself.
about his resurrection - he was dead but if you look into computer he denied his death and allowed spirit go to body, as mentioned at the beginning of the movie edit: just finished watching, you catched up, sorryyy
As pointed out already - there are two more, sadly not Twardowsky oriented, but with Basilisk and Baba Jaga (considered the best one). Last scene reveals that security breach set free many slavic deamons. Series itself was genious, there are also music videos with the modernized versions of polish hits used as background music in those short stories. Also - almost every actor you can see here is 1st league polish actor with huge experience.
i thing this old borutha's computer is a genius touch. The new shiny colorful tech doesn't go together with an old school underground devil. That''s good for plebs.
Oh Mate, the next one is Bazyliszek and straight after that is Jaga(probably the best one). Once Twardowsky deleted hell's register the old Slavic Gods have been set free. Have a great time with your Polish language journey. Powodzienia Chłopie🎉
The post credit scene is a preludium to next legends: Jaga and Bazyliszek. There also was a rumour there will be a proper movie about this character done by the same director, but unfortunately nothing has come out of it.
6:58 We can clearly see that they are already far behind with tech since they are introducing computers like 40 years after rest of the world did it ;) So i think they don't want to simply jump to most modern tech but want to do it gradually. In previous episode Twardowsky said something like "middle ages" to describe that hell and the devil is generally backward so i think this is consistent. They use ancient technology as they don't keep up with modern times... And of course older computers were more reliable and looks cool :D
But at the same time they use futuristic space crafts. I like the idea that it's just a polish hell department that is behind in terms of burocracy and digitalization and space crafts are given from the hell central :D.
It's rather nice, right? The combination of these little tidbits from the past with futuristic accents... a little briliant I dare say :) Strange at first glance, but somehow it doesn't sting the eyes. Maybe it's not a budget stright from Hollywood but I think there is some potential in such works :) What do you think...? :) Btw Rob, did you checked the original legend's(not coments on them)? If you read about them it would make much more sens and you will see what is different from the new version, it could be fun :)
Oh, you made my day:. _Duranovius_ (Twardowski) he was actually a real person, a necromancer & alchemist. Responsible for the fire that moved the capital of Poland from Kraków to Warszawa. The 'Legendy Polskie' series of Allegro was a delightful twist of this story.
I remember enjoying "Twardowsky 2.0", when I saw it for the very first time and I'm glad you liked it too! Boruta was my fave, it's probably the best role in his actor's career so far, as he mostly plays plain or dorky characters in TV shows.
On the "suicide is a grave sin": During medieval times (and quite a long time afterwards) it was suck a huge sin, that sinner was declined from being buried in church's cemetery (meaning, you were denied christian burial). So yes, someone that died of suicide would be treated more harshly than someone that killed other people.
Hi Rob. Glad you enjoying those. Song on the ending is cover "Aleja Gwiazd" by Ania Karwan (originally 1987's - Zdzisława Sośnicka) - Song also has video and tells Lucy story (how she got her powers) in cooperation with Boruta (Polish Devil). I Recommend you should next watch "Jaga" or "Basilisk" by Allegro. I personally love Jaga the most with it's theme song. Keep it up, and say Hi next time you visit Poland for some well known hospitality - Id be glad to show you around.
18:05 He died, but earlier he put in devil's software that his soul should be returned to body... so... he died and got resurected ;) But agree, with this time in space, his body liquids would vapor from his body and body itself would be destroyed... ;)
Tomasz Bagiński he was the director of legends. He did a great job. He is one of the directors of The Witcher on Netflix. His statements about American viewers, general defense of the Witcher series led to him losing the Polish viewer. The Witcher from Netflix is a very weak series. CD Projekt Red and The Witcher 3, this is what the characters in the movie should look like and this is how the script should look like.
Good thinking with Black Mirror, those episodes of legends are connected. What Twardowski did via deleting Hells security software was that he let Slavic demons escape. Soooo... Bazyliszek and Jaga next ? ;))
The main actor here, Robert Więckiewicz is one of the top movie stars in Poland, he's in a lot of good movies, like In Darkness, The Dark House or Clergy and it's amazing they were able to get him to play in a UA-cam short film
The author of this series is Tomasz Baginski. His short film was nominated for an Oscar (The Cathedral). Bagiński is the producer of "The Witcher" for Netflix. Twardowski is such a stereotypical Polish man - a charmer and a cunning man. Polish women go to heaven during their lifetime because we deal with such Twardowski on a daily basis ;) In my opinion, swearing loses on translations because the Polish language is colorful when it comes to swearing. Only our Slavic Croatian brothers are better at it :)
17:44 Rob I will explain how he was alive. The system that the devil had could send a soul back to the body, the ship that Twardowski was in had a computer with that system and since he saw the pasword during the video confrence with the devil, he timed the rope puling his body and the computer so when he would be back abord the ship his soul will come back to his body
there are also few easter eggs, allegro is an IT company - that mainly focuses on creating software so they knew that programmers will be watching at their hands - at 9:08 he types command to "hack" system and they knew that all software engineers will pause at this moment - so they left something that made everybody smile who paused (feel free to check it - it's just a message written like something that looks like a command that would do something). Second one is at 16:18 when he loads the program to computer, there is a big text "Borutha is a prick".
There was supposed to be the whole movie about Twardowsky story in cinemas, but unfortunately COVID hit and then the CEO changed and they decided not to produce it :(
18:00 you could survive in space as long as you could survive underwater. Assuming you are not in shade or in direct sunlight (close to the sun - Mars distance would be safe enough).
The creators intended it to be an alternative version of reality. There will be a lot of retro-futuristic tricks like this, like this computer screen. It's a bit of a mix of the 90s and the future.
Look for "Aleja Gwiazd - Cover. Matheo & Anna Karawan. Legendy Polskie" - this is the song that plays in the end here, Allegro did a music video for this version (which is a cover of one of the classic Polish hits), and it basically tells the story of Lucy.
Amazon or HBO should take care about it (hopefully not Netflix) and continue the Allegro work. There is so much room for great story and I think it would be a great watch success.
About the music: these are old cult hits from the 80s and 90s in modern arrangements. about the names of devils: Boruta, Rokita are the names of devils from folk folklore. They are old devils, so your comment about learning on grandpa's or grandma's computer was very accurate.
twardowski died, in the translation of the commands that run sequentially, you have a transfer of the soul (to hell), then the command return to the body as explained to Boruta that he can do with VIPs. that is, he died and hell did not accept his soul. ps. you didint see Lucynka?
Rob, check another part - "Bazyliszek" and after this - Jaga :D Regards. In "Bazylishek easter egg is role of Witcher" :) And in "Jaga - Easter egg is Perun - slovian god until christianity in Poland:)
There were plans to make a full-length film about Twardowski, allegro created merch through which they were supposed to raise money to make it, but Bagiński (director) got a job in The Witcher from Netflix and everything went to hell.
great man,i love watching ppl from all over world reacting to polish stuff :) also there is few music videos from allegro's polish legends, for example my fav "Kocham wolność - Cover. Matheo & Damian Ukeje. Legendy Polskie"
You should definitely get to know Polish popular music. You'll see for yourself how much it resembles your English. Especially from the 80s/90s. The song you liked was "Aleja Gwiazd - Zdzisława Sośnicka".
18:00 - his soul was returned to his body - so he was dead, but than he was "ressurected" by the Hell's system he hack "hacked" using Boruta's login and pwd :) So he did die, but than as the Boruta was told by his "minion" the soul can be send to hell, purgatory or back to body in case some VIP got an "accident"
Check this our Rob: Aleja Gwiazd - Cover. Matheo & Anna Karwan. Legendy Polskie. This is a music video for a new version of the song used in Twardovsky 2.0. In the music video you have Lucy story, where did she come from at all :D
He died, but once the soul left his body, he interrupted the process of soul transfer - instead of going to hell, the soul was redirected back to his body
Fun fact, when filming the first scene when Lucy is naked, it was freezing, she needed to put herself in the warming blankets in between shots, also she is singing the end song
(17:50) He did die, but beforehand he hacked Boruta's computer system, and as you probably remember there were 3 options there (5:30) : Hell, Limbo or back to the body.
Rob watch a "Zmywak" chanell. He spoke what he think about english culture, people, work and many others. Unfortunetly it's in polish. He lives in UK 20 years😜 Boston i think
Borutha has shown procedures to apply to the incoming souls. One of them was "Return to the body", for the VIPs. Read what is shown on the terminal seconds before the reel pulls Ts body back to the ship and pressurises the airlock :D But he had to truly die to commit capital sin.
23:22 if you look carefully here, there are 2 prisoners mentioned that have escaped the lovest depths of hell: Bazyliszek and Jaga... each of them has it's own video made by Allegro. Bazyliszek is a mystical lizards (or dragon) that lived in ruins. His eyes were pretty similiar to what greek mythology Gogon's eye - whoever he looked at, turned int stone. Now he got released... Jaga is a short of Baba Jaga - one of most known and powerfull witches, popular character in Eastern Europe. She was rummored to live in a house on a chicken leg. In other places, she was the organiser and leader of Sabath - meeting of Witches from all arround the world, which are rumored to have taken place on Łysa Góra. She is also now free, and powerfull, and pissed off, because of being locked out by christian devils (Baba Jaga is an old pagan myth..) So i highly recommend watching another 2: Bazyliszek Jaga
There's a lot of Music videos for the songs fewtured in the series (those are covers of original polish hit songs). Thosev MVs show some glimpses from the allegro legendy Universe.
Rob. Platige Image is one of the greatest CGI studios currently in Poland. It was started by single man Tomasz Baginski and his short animation 'The Cathedral" ua-cam.com/video/msIjWthwWwI/v-deo.html
Need to look up 'Dresden Files' series by Jim Butcher to get some inkling why they imagined those oldschool computer systems as one Hell would use. (It's a relatively common trope, but Butcher's writing is one of more vivid examples I've stumbled upon).
All of Legendy Polskie films contain Polish classic songs - the ones we all grew up on - but modern versions explicitly created for these films. For Twardovsky there's a song "Aleja Gwiazd". Originally by a singer Zdzisława Sośnicka. The cover is made by a DJ Matteo, sung by Anna Karwan. The clip of the latter version explains the story of Lucy the devil from Twardovsky. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch both versions to understand why the covers are so hit!
Like most polish commedy this one also has so many references that are hard to grasp for foreigners. Like "Raczki" villege where the devil has his home - its like reference in the middle of nowhere (we say in PL in place where dog's barks with their assess). The monitor is old and interface looks like MSDOS with graphics because its suppose to be funny. Same as modern interior with old pigs head trophy on the wall (something you would find in old champs houses in Poland, or carpets and old school tea cups etc. Also, this movie was founded by Allegro (like Amazon/Ebay) in PL that was mainly run by IT geeks, so many jokes are like IT Crowd or Big Bang Theory, like simple passwords and many IT references.
Vintage computers are a good stylistic idea. A large corporation (e.g. Hell) has invested in hardware/software once and is sticking to it ;) They will change the system when some specialist/visionary/CEO (from big IT company) gets to Hell ;)
Yeah, I also wish there was a sequel. Even Twardowsky 3.14 was to be shot, this time as a full-length production. But the design got lost somewhere in the middle. And director Tomasz Bagiński (Creator of Legendy Polskie) started creating The Witcher series for Netflix. What a shame
At the beginning, he taught the devil how computers and systems work and said that when a VIP dies, he can return his soul to his body. Twardowski saw the devil's login and password and wrote a program where his soul would be restored after death
17:45 you did not understand. He did die for real, but earlier he set the program to return soul to his body (it was even shown for a second on the devil's screen). This was basically his plan since he saw that laptop for the first time. This is why he caught their attention by attempting a bigger sin (self pleasure). Otherwise if they did not show up as holograms, he would've frozen to death. Later he used his billionaire skills to turn the situation in his favor and used one of the opportunities he had forseen, and in this case it turned out to be the password. He had divised a plan for multiple possible situations and adapted the one that the opportunity gave him. Genius indeed.
Fun fact, there is a 2 hour long audiobook called "Wywiad z Borutą" (Interview with Boruta) where a journalist is called for a chat with our favourite devil. It is availible on youtube but sadly there are no english subtitles. I'll try to list the most important/interesting parts (it's been a while since I last listened to it) - Boruta has been involved in a lot of polish history. Interestingly enough he's always trying to help the country. He's quite patriotic. - Boruta wasn't originally a devil. He used to be a leszy/leshy, a forest guardian from Slavic mythology. - Boruta was fed up with the tyranny of Slavic gods so when Christianity appeared he saw it as an opportunity. He devised a plan to neutralize the gods so they would be easier to take down (he got them drunk af). All the Slavic gods and demons got locked up in hell, but since Boruta helped with the whole thing he got offered a job as the CEO of Polish Hell. Compared to western devils he's actually pretty lenient with his punishments and way more creative. (f.e. One guy would be free to go once he carves his name in stone, except he's never lerned how to write. Another would be free to go once he drinks all the vodka ever produced in Russia). - He first met Twardowsky in, if I remember correctly, the 1500s. He was a merchant selling mirrors and pulling scams on people, telling them he can bring people from the dead. The king heard about it and ordered him to bring his dead wife back. Twardowsky couldn't do it so he made a deal with Boruta. - For centuries Twardowsky has been reincarnating to continue his life, but something went wrong the last time he did it and he doesn't have his memories this time. - The journalist lady isn't buying any of this, she's only staying because Boruta promised her some info on Twardowsky. Boruta takes her down to hell and shows her his "guests", the last one being her ex-husband, who became homeless after she left him and froze to death. - Boruta offers her a deal: she would work for him using her media prescence and in return he makes her young again and promises to give her ex-husband a light sentence (he would make him watch a shitty TV show). She agrees but hopes to double cross him.
All Polish Legends are built on the set of short novels based on Slavic beliefs. These novels are still available to read. if my mind doesn't trick me :)
To że diabły mają przestażałe ludzkie computery to taki żart, bo równocześnie mają statki kosmiczne z lepszą technologią. Kiedy film był kręcony płaskie monitory były standartem. A cała akcja dzieje się w niedalekiej przyszłości. Twardowski, przez to że diabeł spełniał jego wszystkie życzenia, miał możliwości żeby zbudować bazę na księżycu i tam ucieć. Uciekał bo diabeł chciał w zamian jego duszy (jak było w cyrografie).
Twardowski's legend is an old fairy tale of the devil chasing a man. the adaptation, posted here, is brilliant in its creation. They are for Poles, it was announced a few years ago that they would create a film based on these stories. May it be so. Because it can be competition for mcu with Polish style and music. covers of music from the 90s rox!
@RobReacts1 17:53 - yes he is dead. He's not survived. Otherwise it wouldn't be a suicide and he needed to commit a suicide to get sin tanks powered :) But remember - on the very beginning that bald devil was explaining to Borutha how system works - there's an option "BACK TO BODY" . So Twardovsky hacked the system with his password and setup it that when his soul will appear in the system (as he's dead) then Back to body procedure is executed. So it's like resurrection :D

Oh, you made my day:. _Duranovius_ (Twardowski) he was actually a real person, a necromancer & alchemist. Responsible for the fire that moved the capital of Poland from Kraków to Warszawa. The 'Legendy Polskie' series of Allegro was a delightful twist of this story.
I remember enjoying "Twardowsky 2.0", when I saw it for the very first time and I'm glad you liked it too! Boruta was my fave, it's probably the best role in his actor's career so far, as he mostly plays plain or dorky characters in TV shows.
Dziękuję za Twoje spojrzenie. Ja także cierpię z powodu braku kontynuacji.
Dziękuję, pozdrawiam i do kolejnych Twoich produkcji.
Pozdrowienia.
On the "suicide is a grave sin":
During medieval times (and quite a long time afterwards) it was suck a huge sin, that sinner was declined from being buried in church's cemetery (meaning, you were denied christian burial).
So yes, someone that died of suicide would be treated more harshly than someone that killed other people.
Hi Rob. Glad you enjoying those. Song on the ending is cover "Aleja Gwiazd" by Ania Karwan (originally 1987's - Zdzisława Sośnicka) - Song also has video and tells Lucy story (how she got her powers) in cooperation with Boruta (Polish Devil). I Recommend you should next watch "Jaga" or "Basilisk" by Allegro. I personally love Jaga the most with it's theme song. Keep it up, and say Hi next time you visit Poland for some well known hospitality - Id be glad to show you around.

18:05 He died, but earlier he put in devil's software that his soul should be returned to body... so... he died and got resurected ;)
But agree, with this time in space, his body liquids would vapor from his body and body itself would be destroyed... ;)
Tomasz Bagiński he was the director of legends. He did a great job. He is one of the directors of The Witcher on Netflix. His statements about American viewers, general defense of the Witcher series led to him losing the Polish viewer. The Witcher from Netflix is a very weak series. CD Projekt Red and The Witcher 3, this is what the characters in the movie should look like and this is how the script should look like.
Good thinking with Black Mirror, those episodes of legends are connected. What Twardowski did via deleting Hells security software was that he let Slavic demons escape. Soooo... Bazyliszek and Jaga next ? ;))
First Bazyliszek :)
We should reincarnate this series!
This old monitor is a symbol that Boruta is technologically impared.
Hell is not supposed to be easy, that's why Boruta is struggling with old technology which is a small curse for him. ;)
The main actor here, Robert Więckiewicz is one of the top movie stars in Poland, he's in a lot of good movies, like In Darkness, The Dark House or Clergy and it's amazing they were able to get him to play in a UA-cam short film
The author of this series is Tomasz Baginski. His short film was nominated for an Oscar (The Cathedral). Bagiński is the producer of "The Witcher" for Netflix. Twardowski is such a stereotypical Polish man - a charmer and a cunning man. Polish women go to heaven during their lifetime because we deal with such Twardowski on a daily basis ;)
In my opinion, swearing loses on translations because the Polish language is colorful when it comes to swearing. Only our Slavic Croatian brothers are better at it :)
I wouldn't be praising Bagiński nowadays though. He basically said that the witcher show is bad because of stupid fans.
17:44 Rob I will explain how he was alive. The system that the devil had could send a soul back to the body, the ship that Twardowski was in had a computer with that system and since he saw the pasword during the video confrence with the devil, he timed the rope puling his body and the computer so when he would be back abord the ship his soul will come back to his body
I got that a couple of minutes later! :D
there are also few easter eggs, allegro is an IT company - that mainly focuses on creating software so they knew that programmers will be watching at their hands - at 9:08 he types command to "hack" system and they knew that all software engineers will pause at this moment - so they left something that made everybody smile who paused (feel free to check it - it's just a message written like something that looks like a command that would do something). Second one is at 16:18 when he loads the program to computer, there is a big text "Borutha is a prick".
There was supposed to be the whole movie about Twardowsky story in cinemas, but unfortunately COVID hit and then the CEO changed and they decided not to produce it :(
I absolutely love the idea of the hellish spaceship being powered by sin. Such a clever concept. :D
18:00 you could survive in space as long as you could survive underwater. Assuming you are not in shade or in direct sunlight (close to the sun - Mars distance would be safe enough).
He released Slavic Demons from hell. This is the end of Twardowski plot :) And after few more episodes about Slavic demons they stoped making them.
Bro, im realy glad that im from Poland and u like polish legends 👍
The creators intended it to be an alternative version of reality. There will be a lot of retro-futuristic tricks like this, like this computer screen. It's a bit of a mix of the 90s and the future.
Great! I was waiting for Twardowsky 2.0 :)
The film was based on a legend, a children's book called "Pan Twardowski" - I encourage you to read it.
The film studio of the Worner brothers was founded by emigrants from Poland, such a curiosity
It's nice to hear that these four movies are not the end of the Polish Legends series :3
Greetings from Kraków🙃
Look for "Aleja Gwiazd - Cover. Matheo & Anna Karawan. Legendy Polskie" - this is the song that plays in the end here, Allegro did a music video for this version (which is a cover of one of the classic Polish hits), and it basically tells the story of Lucy.
Amazon or HBO should take care about it (hopefully not Netflix) and continue the Allegro work. There is so much room for great story and I think it would be a great watch success.
HBO, yes. Netflix - nope. We've seen what they have done with The Witcher, and God protect us from Disney : D
About the music: these are old cult hits from the 80s and 90s in modern arrangements. about the names of devils: Boruta, Rokita are the names of devils from folk folklore.
They are old devils, so your comment about learning on grandpa's or grandma's computer was very accurate.
It's interesting to watch this minimovie again listening to the comments of someone from a different country :) Thanks.
twardowski died, in the translation of the commands that run sequentially, you have a transfer of the soul (to hell), then the command return to the body as explained to Boruta that he can do with VIPs. that is, he died and hell did not accept his soul.
ps. you didint see Lucynka?
Rob, check another part - "Bazyliszek" and after this - Jaga :D Regards. In "Bazylishek easter egg is role of Witcher" :) And in "Jaga - Easter egg is Perun - slovian god until christianity in Poland:)
There were plans to make a full-length film about Twardowski, allegro created merch through which they were supposed to raise money to make it, but Bagiński (director) got a job in The Witcher from Netflix and everything went to hell.
great man,i love watching ppl from all over world reacting to polish stuff :)
also there is few music videos from allegro's polish legends, for example my fav "Kocham wolność - Cover. Matheo & Damian Ukeje. Legendy Polskie"
2:52 "half to the chimney" is happy hour?. 7:00 When something works, why change it?, 9:41 "AC is like on the Przemyśl-Szczecin train" (900km)
You should definitely get to know Polish popular music. You'll see for yourself how much it resembles your English. Especially from the 80s/90s.
The song you liked was "Aleja Gwiazd - Zdzisława Sośnicka".
18:00 - his soul was returned to his body - so he was dead, but than he was "ressurected" by the Hell's system he hack "hacked" using Boruta's login and pwd :)
So he did die, but than as the Boruta was told by his "minion" the soul can be send to hell, purgatory or back to body in case some VIP got an "accident"
Super. Szkoda ze brak kontynuacji.
The original story about Twardowski, describing his cunning against the devil, is the poem "Pani Twardowska" by the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz.
I Loved. Thanks for React on this
Check this our Rob: Aleja Gwiazd - Cover. Matheo & Anna Karwan. Legendy Polskie.
This is a music video for a new version of the song used in Twardovsky 2.0. In the music video you have Lucy story, where did she come from at all :D
ua-cam.com/video/fMU2Y4F0BDw/v-deo.html
He died, but once the soul left his body, he interrupted the process of soul transfer - instead of going to hell, the soul was redirected back to his body
Fun fact, when filming the first scene when Lucy is naked, it was freezing, she needed to put herself in the warming blankets in between shots, also she is singing the end song
(17:50) He did die, but beforehand he hacked Boruta's computer system, and as you probably remember there were 3 options there (5:30) : Hell, Limbo or back to the body.
Rob watch a "Zmywak" chanell. He spoke what he think about english culture, people, work and many others. Unfortunetly it's in polish. He lives in UK 20 years😜 Boston i think
You can react to Polish Military Parade which was held 2 days ago.
It was quite impressive, I think there are videos that summarized it.
:)
Ja też chciała bym zobaczyć co dalej 👍👏👏👏
Borutha has shown procedures to apply to the incoming souls. One of them was "Return to the body", for the VIPs. Read what is shown on the terminal seconds before the reel pulls Ts body back to the ship and pressurises the airlock :D But he had to truly die to commit capital sin.
23:22 if you look carefully here, there are 2 prisoners mentioned that have escaped the lovest depths of hell: Bazyliszek and Jaga... each of them has it's own video made by Allegro.
Bazyliszek is a mystical lizards (or dragon) that lived in ruins. His eyes were pretty similiar to what greek mythology Gogon's eye - whoever he looked at, turned int stone. Now he got released...
Jaga is a short of Baba Jaga - one of most known and powerfull witches, popular character in Eastern Europe. She was rummored to live in a house on a chicken leg. In other places, she was the organiser and leader of Sabath - meeting of Witches from all arround the world, which are rumored to have taken place on Łysa Góra. She is also now free, and powerfull, and pissed off, because of being locked out by christian devils (Baba Jaga is an old pagan myth..)
So i highly recommend watching another 2:
Bazyliszek
Jaga
Ha! You did catch up with the legend itself!
There's a lot of Music videos for the songs fewtured in the series (those are covers of original polish hit songs). Thosev MVs show some glimpses from the allegro legendy Universe.
5:32 You go to the soul page and decide where if goes after death. This is what Twardowski did after login to ship computer, thats why he didn't die
23:18 Here were teasers of the next stories of the Legendy Polskie series you can watch right now: Bazyliszek, Jaga.
20:45 - he did die. He just got himself resurrected.
Rob you must to see "Jaga" and "Bazyliszek".
+1
Yep will be watching them next!
But first read the legend of Baba Jaga and the legend of the Bazyliszek.
@@JRTP-Bart77PLsmok krakowski alsow watch😅
Rob. Platige Image is one of the greatest CGI studios currently in Poland. It was started by single man Tomasz Baginski and his short animation 'The Cathedral" ua-cam.com/video/msIjWthwWwI/v-deo.html
Diablo 4 Cinematic Trailer, Witcher2 Witcher3 Game intro and Trailer from Tomasz Baginski
As the supplement to the film series, there is a book "Wywiad z Borutą" ("Interview with Borutha"), but I think there is no English version...
Need to look up 'Dresden Files' series by Jim Butcher to get some inkling why they imagined those oldschool computer systems as one Hell would use. (It's a relatively common trope, but Butcher's writing is one of more vivid examples I've stumbled upon).
The set also includes covers with short videos that complement the plot.
All of Legendy Polskie films contain Polish classic songs - the ones we all grew up on - but modern versions explicitly created for these films.
For Twardovsky there's a song "Aleja Gwiazd". Originally by a singer Zdzisława Sośnicka. The cover is made by a DJ Matteo, sung by Anna Karwan. The clip of the latter version explains the story of Lucy the devil from Twardovsky. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch both versions to understand why the covers are so hit!
Like most polish commedy this one also has so many references that are hard to grasp for foreigners. Like "Raczki" villege where the devil has his home - its like reference in the middle of nowhere (we say in PL in place where dog's barks with their assess). The monitor is old and interface looks like MSDOS with graphics because its suppose to be funny. Same as modern interior with old pigs head trophy on the wall (something you would find in old champs houses in Poland, or carpets and old school tea cups etc.
Also, this movie was founded by Allegro (like Amazon/Ebay) in PL that was mainly run by IT geeks, so many jokes are like IT Crowd or Big Bang Theory, like simple passwords and many IT references.
Vintage computers are a good stylistic idea. A large corporation (e.g. Hell) has invested in hardware/software once and is sticking to it ;) They will change the system when some specialist/visionary/CEO (from big IT company) gets to Hell ;)
Yeah, I also wish there was a sequel. Even Twardowsky 3.14 was to be shot, this time as a full-length production. But the design got lost somewhere in the middle. And director Tomasz Bagiński (Creator of Legendy Polskie) started creating The Witcher series for Netflix. What a shame
About twist, he was dead. But his soul was send back to body, because he hacked this before.
Yep saw that a couple of minutes later haha
@@RobReacts1 there is also 2h long audiobook in Polish „Interview with Boruta(devil)” but without translation ;__;
Music is: "Aleja Gwiazd", enjoy
Sad fact: director for all this short movies to Allegro, was Tomasz Baginski, co-distributed for the Witcher from Netfix 😭
FUN Fact. Platinum image the studio that has created the Legendy Polskie series is run by Tomasz Bagiński..... the producer of Netflix Witcher.
At the beginning, he taught the devil how computers and systems work and said that when a VIP dies, he can return his soul to his body. Twardowski saw the devil's login and password and wrote a program where his soul would be restored after death
17:45 you did not understand. He did die for real, but earlier he set the program to return soul to his body (it was even shown for a second on the devil's screen). This was basically his plan since he saw that laptop for the first time. This is why he caught their attention by attempting a bigger sin (self pleasure). Otherwise if they did not show up as holograms, he would've frozen to death. Later he used his billionaire skills to turn the situation in his favor and used one of the opportunities he had forseen, and in this case it turned out to be the password. He had divised a plan for multiple possible situations and adapted the one that the opportunity gave him. Genius indeed.
Final song is very old but it's in new cover by lady playing Lucyna in this. Aleksandra Dąbrowska if i remember, YT chanel mischON
Fun fact, there is a 2 hour long audiobook called "Wywiad z Borutą" (Interview with Boruta) where a journalist is called for a chat with our favourite devil. It is availible on youtube but sadly there are no english subtitles. I'll try to list the most important/interesting parts (it's been a while since I last listened to it)
- Boruta has been involved in a lot of polish history. Interestingly enough he's always trying to help the country. He's quite patriotic.
- Boruta wasn't originally a devil. He used to be a leszy/leshy, a forest guardian from Slavic mythology.
- Boruta was fed up with the tyranny of Slavic gods so when Christianity appeared he saw it as an opportunity. He devised a plan to neutralize the gods so they would be easier to take down (he got them drunk af). All the Slavic gods and demons got locked up in hell, but since Boruta helped with the whole thing he got offered a job as the CEO of Polish Hell. Compared to western devils he's actually pretty lenient with his punishments and way more creative. (f.e. One guy would be free to go once he carves his name in stone, except he's never lerned how to write. Another would be free to go once he drinks all the vodka ever produced in Russia).
- He first met Twardowsky in, if I remember correctly, the 1500s. He was a merchant selling mirrors and pulling scams on people, telling them he can bring people from the dead. The king heard about it and ordered him to bring his dead wife back. Twardowsky couldn't do it so he made a deal with Boruta.
- For centuries Twardowsky has been reincarnating to continue his life, but something went wrong the last time he did it and he doesn't have his memories this time.
- The journalist lady isn't buying any of this, she's only staying because Boruta promised her some info on Twardowsky. Boruta takes her down to hell and shows her his "guests", the last one being her ex-husband, who became homeless after she left him and froze to death.
- Boruta offers her a deal: she would work for him using her media prescence and in return he makes her young again and promises to give her ex-husband a light sentence (he would make him watch a shitty TV show). She agrees but hopes to double cross him.
Music : Zdzisława Sośnicka . Aleja Gwiazd. Stars aley
I like listening to you when you are surprised or do not understand normal Polish realities.
This song was not created to the movie. Its very very old. Title: Aleja gwiazd Zdzisława Sośnicka
In this video he really died right there in space. But in the files he set up his soul to get rejected and sent back to his body, hence a ressurection
23:52 This actor Rokita died 14 December 2020 so allego sadly never make Twardowsky 3.0
All Polish Legends are built on the set of short novels based on Slavic beliefs. These novels are still available to read. if my mind doesn't trick me :)
To że diabły mają przestażałe ludzkie computery to taki żart, bo równocześnie mają statki kosmiczne z lepszą technologią. Kiedy film był kręcony płaskie monitory były standartem. A cała akcja dzieje się w niedalekiej przyszłości. Twardowski, przez to że diabeł spełniał jego wszystkie życzenia, miał możliwości żeby zbudować bazę na księżycu i tam ucieć.
Uciekał bo diabeł chciał w zamian jego duszy (jak było w cyrografie).
Twardowski's legend is an old fairy tale of the devil chasing a man. the adaptation, posted here, is brilliant in its creation. They are for Poles, it was announced a few years ago that they would create a film based on these stories. May it be so. Because it can be competition for mcu with Polish style and music. covers of music from the 90s rox!
The End song is sang by Lucy actress - she's good
@RobReacts1 17:53 - yes he is dead. He's not survived. Otherwise it wouldn't be a suicide and he needed to commit a suicide to get sin tanks powered :) But remember - on the very beginning that bald devil was explaining to Borutha how system works - there's an option "BACK TO BODY" . So Twardovsky hacked the system with his password and setup it that when his soul will appear in the system (as he's dead) then Back to body procedure is executed. So it's like resurrection :D
