During a demonstration in Budapest led by Viki Falk (played mesmerizingly by Kata Dobó), the two meet and the sparks fly. Star athlete and Hungarian Olympic water polo team captain Karcsi Szabó eagerly awaits his trip to Melbourne. The movie switches back and forth between Hungary and Melbourne, Australia, and looks strikingly at the passion and sadness of one of the most dramatic popular revolts of the twentieth century. Top Hungarian Movies #2: Szabadság SzerelemĮntitled Children of Glory in English, this 2006 film commemorates the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and also the “Blood in the Water” water polo match between Hungary and Russia. Miki is forced to perform a nationalistic folk song with Bigali’s son in the school talent show, but he turns the tables and his rock-out performance wins everyone over and redeems him with his friends and his girl. Along the way he falls afoul of the family’s Communist minder, Comrade Bigali, subtly but hilariously played by Péter Scherer. With him, he brings a rebellious attitude, a trunkful of rock and roll records, and an ambition to be the next Jerry Lee Lewis. Teen-age Miki immigrated with his parents to America, but they were forced to return to Communist Hungary. If you’re in the mood for a feel-good extravaganza about life, love and music in late-1950’s Budapest, this 2009 light-hearted musical comedy will have you dancing in the aisles.
