Teddy Bear Audience Reviews

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
johnto1-1 I have visited Poland and have experienced the atmosphere of Polski culture and humour and I have many friends in Poland and in UK. I struggled to learn very limited polsku vocabulary, barely enough to survive alone in Poland. Fortunatelly, millions of Polaky have been learning English during the past decade. Anyway about "Teddy Bear" (english name), Polsku font is required to type "MÍS" correctly. The movie is funny, very, very, funny, graphically hilarious, all the actors are comic. I laughed my head off all the way through and watched it twice to catch the bits I missed because my eyes were watering. Early on the motorcar that the is designed and manufactured in Poland, I think it's called: "Trápánt" (please excuse if that name is incorrect). Literally explodes to pieces from the sudden gust of exhaled breath when a man sneezes within it. Tak, visually funny and meaningful. I will tell you, the Pols look upon owning 1 of these cars as the last resort to being vehicular mobile. You see them everywhere but nobody will admit to owning one! I wont spoil your fun by explaining any further. Just watch Mís and you'll enjoy it. Don't worry about the language, it's not a barrier, funny is funny, in any language. You will imagine the conversations taking place. Great Movie Top marks.
Joanna First time I've seen it, I didn't fully get the idea what this film is supposed to be about. Maybe a little bit funny, sometimes silly, but in overall, didn't make sense. At all.But when you actually think about how life in Poland was at that time, and if you know somebody ( preferably from Poland ) who will guide you, you'll find this film hilarious and love it. It shows, very sarcastically though, how the life in Poland in early 1980s was, and how people were dependent on each other. I don't want to talk about it too much, but the score is 10 without doubts, and if you're looking for a clever foreign comedy, that's the one you should see.
Bartosz Milewski Like most Polish movies of the Communist era, "Teddy Bear" has several layers of meaning. On the surface it's a comedy of absurdities. But the absurdities make perfect sense in the political context of Poland of the 1970th. The movie shows Communism is its final stages of decay. The system becomes a game with complex and absurd rules. Only people who master these rules can be successful. The film's hero is one of them.The key to understanding the movie is the dialog between the hero and a film producer about a straw bear--a giant prop for the movie they are making. The producer uses common sense to try to minimize the movie's production costs. The hero explains to him how rational arguments don't apply in the system they are living in. The simpleton film producer is initiated in the ways of the system.There is a progression from George Orwell's stern an tragic "1984", through Terry Gilliam's tragicomic "Brazil", to the comically absurd "Teddy Bear"--a progression which reflects the various stages and versions of Communism. The Polish version is the most benign and tongue-in-cheek and the film describes it perfectly.
JaCo2000 If you lived in Poland during the 80's you will fully enjoy this movie. Every minute of it is making fun of the absurdity of life in those days. Although the scenes used in the movie might seem ridiculous, they are in fact taken straight from life, which makes them even more hilarious. The plot is a vehicle used to display the surroundings. The fact that this movie actually made it through the censorship shows, that although Poland was still in the Soviet block, it already had some degree of freedom of speech and expression in the early 80's right before the marshal law was declared. It's the best comedy I have ever seen and probably ever will see. It's a classic and a must see!
