‘Kinov Action’
The slogan “Only pigs sit in a cinema” has its roots during planet War II, erstwhile Poles fought the German occupier. It was part of the alleged tiny sabotage, or form of civilian resistance, which was a “street propagand”. At the time, the word “propaganda” did not have as negative connotations as it is now. These actions included painting slogans on the walls, distributing leaflets, sealing German posters with stickers with patriotic slogans, or breaking German flags.
The organisation of the tiny Sabotage “Wawer”, under the direction of Alexander Kamiński, was liable for organizing tiny sabotage activities. 1 of the most crucial projects of “Wawra” was the alleged “Kinowa” action. It was to discourage the surrender of occupyive propaganda sipped before screenings in movie chronicles.

President Andrzej Duda expressed his knowing of the reaction of Border defender officers who, after watching the film, utilized the phrase “Only pigs sit in cinema”. In addition, Duda stressed that in his opinion the movie unfairly portrays Polish officers.

He stated that he met all the formal requirements and ordered his service to president Duda, who has a 60-day response. As noted, this is the first specified case in Poland's history, erstwhile the organization is filing a suit against the President.
Morawiecki had a akin opinion
Not only did Andrzej Duda powerfully criticize Agnieszka Holland's film. As Mateusz Morawiecki said:
"It shows the scenes that Poles give refugees water with broken glass, they show that our people are any kind of dimmers, beasts. They show Poles as primitives.”
