In the text I will discuss examples from the work of the well-known movie director, Władysław Pasikowski, who have entered the mainstream of the alleged pedagogy of shame. Readers who are planning to watch the tv series “The Cop” in his directorship should know about the alleged spoilers in the remainder of the article. There are besides a fewer words here about the way the nationalists are portrayed on this show.
The title I gave to the entry comes from the word “the pedagogy of shame”, which means emphasizing, exaggerating, and even creating historical facts, looking at past and reality in a way that makes decent people ashamed for specified events. At the same time, there is an impression that specified events are typical and common, which is to convince Poles that the pride of their own past and identity is completely unfounded, and they should inactive be ashamed and apologize for their past and cut off from it. Władysław Pasikowski put his hand to the pedagogy of shame with the 2012 movie “Pokłosie” (I was even in cinema), inspired by the book by Jan Tomasz Gross entitled “Neighbours”. The book itself has been uncritically accepted in many environments, although there are serious doubts about the very historical method utilized by Gross, who is not a historian, but besides the Jedwabny case for any reason has never been full investigated, and the exhumations have been halted. So, in fact, there is no clarity about the number of people murdered there.
The movie “Pokłosie” tells the communicative of 2 brothers who (in the shortest summary and with the betrayal of the end) discover that the inhabitants of their villages during the war brutally murdered their judaic neighbors to take over better/larger lands after the war. erstwhile 1 of the brothers wants to exposure the crime, the another is murdered by residents who want to hide their secret from the world.
The ‘glory’, however, is an apparent matter. Pasikowski claimed that the script had prepared about 10 years earlier. However, society was then not to be ready for a movie about this subject. I noticed later, not even immediately, that Pasikowski had previously released his "test balls" on the tv series "The Cop", whose first period was aired on TVP in 2004 and the second 1 in 2007. (I will besides betray any of the plot) In the first season, there is simply a case of execution at the “Jutrzenka” Leisure Centre, or, in fact, the erstwhile center for safety Service staff. DCI Gajewski (titled "cop", played by Jerzy Radziwiłowicz), determines that the victim is simply a citizen of Denmark. However, the further investigation leads to the discovery that it was a Pole (named Grabek) active many years ago in the execution of the organization activist's son, Czekinski. However, it turns out that the full execution that Grabek was active in was a service operation that created the fact that Grabek had Stoltzmann's name and the execution of the boy of Czekinski was the revenge of the Jews on the anti-Semit. Interviewed by Gajewski, the historian said that Czekeński was a associate of ONR, anti-Semitic and fascist, there are testimonies that he murdered Jews due to the fact that he did what he wanted, although he was formally subject to the Home Army.
Basically, the historian’s message is specified a beautifully condensed content that it is essential to assimilate that there is no request to comment. In 1 seemingly logical whole, the concepts of fascism, anti-Semitism and national organization were broken. Of course, there is much to blame for ONR, but this clash is only proof that we already think in specified abbreviations, and in the "Clinical" only confirm and strengthen the views of the viewer. Not all viewer, of course. Thus, on the example of fictional Czekański we get a image of at least any Poles who murdered Jews with equal desire as Germans. It is besides interesting to usage the word fascism, not Nazism. It's what the historian says in the film. He should know the difference. The full issue gives us an insight into the “status” of the services to make an impression of the conspiracy of Jews (to the factions in PZPR, as it turns out) and the real past of Polish anti-Semitism. Served rather gently, only said.
Otherwise, the case is in the second period with an investigation (in a kind of private) of Deputy Commissioner Banasia (in this function Maciej Stuhr), who tries to find what happened to the 3 Roma who were missing after leaving for the village/town in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, where they were to settle the authoritative matter. From the very beginning, we have been dealing with climate building in which we feel terrible. There is any collusion among the organs of the state to not contact matters and ubiquitous disregard for the Gypsies (in fact only Banas and the household of the missing call them Roma). Trying to find out something, the deputy chief hears either evasive answers or general critical remarks (they are thieves and workers). Earlier, however, he heard from the elder of the home that he was expected to get 1 of them a occupation (because the real Rom must have a job), but he needs to legalize his stay (and hence a journey to the office). So we have a clear point: a state that ignores the destiny of its citizen and his 2 companions and omnipresent stereotypes (and wrongs) of knowing the Roma as unworthy of trust. In the further part of the investigation, the only fair female (wife of an official) tells Banasi about the suspected transfer of detainees from the police station to Robert Jarosh's car. She knew this from her sister, who Jarosh had previously raped violently with his colleagues, but although everyone knows, nobody does anything about it. Robert Jarosz is the boy of a senator who is powerful in the region and has a police chief on all call (who besides gives Banasi a clear signal to leave the case). To complete the picture, Jarosz belongs to the organization (maybe it is the youth of the party), due to the fact that Poland Youth Radical. Here we have another interesting match. Posters of both parties (something from national in name), which appear to emanate the fear of backward people and align in rule homosexuality with pedophile, as well as a youth gathering about the treatment of homosexuality, find about what the image should be. In addition, the gathering leader Robert Jarosz cites independent but Catholic scholars, discussing the anticipation of homosexual therapy. [Such therapies actually exist, but they are credited with something retroactive and ineffective. However, there is no place here to discuss homosexuality itself and whether/should be treated by people with specified tendencies.] Later, erstwhile things take a more dramatic turn and it seems that Banas may discover what happened to the Roma, Jaros and his colleagues state that he must be killed. erstwhile 1 of them resists, Robert Jarosz says more or less, “Do you want to live in a land where Jews rule? Where can anyone spit in your face?” Besides, even people who have a beef with Jarosh despise both the raped female (she is called a whore by both her brother-in-law and the man who pointed out to Banasi the crime scene) and Roma.
So the painting is complete for me. In Baranica (the name of the town where the Roma disappeared) there are respective honest people, but they are only 3 women (the official's wife, her sister- a rape victim and a limp waitress whose boss considers the Roma to be thieves and non-workers). The remainder are at best passive observers who despise minorities and rape victims, intimidated crime participants (like an official), corrupt and conceited, but besides full of contempt (a police commander) and active evil. Robert Jarosz and his colleagues are among the latter. In addition to committing violent murders on cultural minorities, collective rapes, they are besides opposers of normalization of homosexuality, most likely Catholics, and surely not philosemites. The organization to which Senator Jarosz, Robert's father belongs, is defined as a group of "regular fascists".
I mentioned earlier that the painting is stronger in this investigation. This is due to the fact that later the details of the execution are discussed by the pathologist (in this function Agnieszka Pilashewska). Gajewski, listening to the results of the viewing, says that he sometimes regrets being born “in this country”.
At the same time, while affirmative creation of heroes on decent (although wounded) people, we get an image of right and incorrect views. Especially since Gajewski is not any agitator or radical. He expresses resentment towards SB officers, their secret associates, he exceeds his authority, but only to bring justice to criminals, while at the same time being knowing of assassins who had something in their defence or acted in their passion. He can cut himself off from the SB with the words “God as a witness” erstwhile the witness attributes to him the “gallery” of communist safety guards. besides Banas, although sometimes he does the incorrect things, he resents it. Both officers gain any sympathy from the viewer and the ability to identify with these heroes. Thus, erstwhile evil is linked to certain people who present certain views, good people can only sustain, if not change their views against those expressed by evil heroes, then although a strong criticism of all views which are presented (although not rather directly) as a possible origin of full degeneration and justification of apparent evil they commit. So, if any of the views of the black characters coincide with the views of the viewer, then the viewer begins to wonder if he should be ashamed of it.
After all, the Cop remains for me 1 of the best, if not the best Polish crime series. erstwhile I watched it a fewer months ago, however, I one more time paid more attention to all of this. It was inactive very pleasant to callback the subsequent matters of Superintendent Gajewski, even considering the message which along with the amusement was served to me.
