'Stars in Black' - parody of a trailer
Posted: 2006-12-18 10:09pm
Hi,
I was unable to find if those videos were mentioned on this forum so I just post it. Author is a director and scriptwriter/screenwriter working for some regional TV station in Poland, as a hobby and as a promotional materials he makes strange movies, those two have much in common with this forum:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 6019395936 (or search: Stars in Black)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 5322462238 (or search: Star Wars Imladris)
PS. The latter movie may have moment quite hard to understand because of references to real world events in Poland. Brief explanation below...
*Spoilers*
- 00:55-00:59 - quite similar to situation from Polish TV show which is similar to "Married... with Children".
- 01:01 - wrecked car lying next to wall, it's Fiat 126 - very popular in Poland in 80's.
- 01:20 - scene from some Polish movie, just played by Predator and Alien
- 01:42 - "interactive contests" were pain in the ass in Polish national TV...
- 01:55 - "ambulance from Lodz" - reference to big criminal case when paramedics were killing people by administration of Pavulon (Pancuronium) to get extra money for each dead from companies who organize funerals. Truly, nobody expected that...
- 02:10 - omitting towers "Jedi Academy" is actually real building in Warsaw - "Palace of Culture and Science"
- 02:25 - envelope "mindtrick" is a reference to overwhelming corruption of Polish institutions. Expression "giving an envelope" or other similar mean just a bribe.
- 02:47 - it should be translated rather as: "I see darkness! Darkness I see!" - reference to Polish sci-fi comedy from 80's, words spoken by not very brigh guy after waking up from experimental hibernation which resulted in temporary sight problems.
- 03:46 - based on real video from Polish school when pupils took register from teacher and put trashcan on his head.
- 04:27 - "Bad touch..." - reference to campaign against child violence and abuse.
