i may not be objective since i be a hungarian and a patriot and and especially after the very sad 50th anniversary and this be some kind of relief for me . first the bad and then the good . dobó kata be the only bad thing happen to this and but she really bad . i never appreciate her never saw any movie where she do not pose in lingerie but after this i have to say and she have to run around in lingerie because in clothes and there nothing touching in her and nothing that make you believe what she say and no emotion on her face whatever . she can not act and that it . but the movie have so many strong appearance and so many talented people behind the camera and that you easily forget about dobó . iván fenyö while be no surprise and he be in the jake gyllenhal movie jarhead before ( which i do not like though ) and and he can act . he enjoyable here and not his best and not the best in the movie though . károly gesztesi be phenomenal in his role a the coach and one of the most likable character here . the other of the great performance be bring by sándor csányi . he well know for his leading role in kontroll and and he simply outshine everyone here as well . the lead lady after dobó failure be surely viki szávai and eszter in the movie ( dobó best friend ) . she play so easily you can believe she not even play and it her true self . i like the character so much thanks her playing that the loss of her be one of the sad moment for me though it be almost obvious what have to happen to her . vic armstrong do a great job with what he have . the few tank and other limitation do not stop him to recreate what be happen on the street of budapest . you will be scar by think it through and it so real . kriszta goda second movie direction here make you need to see the first as well . she do an amazing job here . after all and i be touch and and touch be such a cliché when talk about this movie and the story behind it . 1956 mean something for everyone who have at least a little percentage of hungarian blood in his or her vein . either you be here afterwards and saw the aftermath and either you live here now a young and have the same need and feeling for freedom and or youre living abroad and be raise on story about hungary and how your family have to live and run through the border while they be shoot at them . or you have hear about the story and you know someone who hungarian . or even read about it here and and see this movie it will change you a little bit and in what you think about hungary . i hope less people will laugh at those cheap joke by comedian on the u national tv after see this little history lesson . no matter how many story you have hear it not like be there and see this movie will bring you back a a watcher and you will understand them more and appreciate them more . after leave the theater you will surely believe the people who die on the street or in the avo prison be true hero . make you feel the need to do something patriotic as well . thus i hope everyone of you go out to see it and internationally . after so many touch movie about american history and here your chance to see how those in the eastern block struggle and fight for their life . it totally different and i hope it will bring difference . want to give a 10 and but 1 coz of dk .
