How long can the world be twisted with impunity, my friends? This is no longer about freedom of opinion, but about subversion.
It became huge news and the opposition is already campaigning for it wherever possible. The Vígszínház run by Péter Rudolf banned a play advertised as an Adventure Film for the next season - sorry: it backed out of the presentation - even though it was never made.
Csaba Székely, a writer from Marosvásárhely, stated that I quote:
"I would like to clarify here that whatever will happen in the official communication, the real reason is nothing but cowardice...
It was nice to believe for a short time that such a brave, free, outspoken performance could be realized in today's Hungary, in a bourgeois theater. I will think fondly of everyone involved.”
With good dramaturgical sense, the author also says that you should not ask me to show you the text of the play that has been completed so far, "because it is not open to the public. Please DO NOT ask me to read it!” The author indicates all this on his Facebook page
According to the announcement of the Vígszínház: "The reading rehearsal took place on May 9, at which the actors could not read the play through according to theater customs, because the script was not finished, only the first draft of the script for the first act." The theater did not receive a corrected, complete script until the start of the second trial period (June 5, 2023). (The deadline for the contract was June 1 for the entire book - ed.)
Of course, I don't know exactly what happened, and as we saw, the play is not public, we only know that it would have been very outspoken.
But for God's sake! What is the big secret, conspiracy, drama, revelation that cannot be told in this country?
For decades, Viktor Orbán himself has been a favorite target of left-wing media and aristocratically liberal cultural luminaries with urban tastes. Joking about the National Cooperation System (NER) is commonplace - I can't say that (he-he)! All members of the right-wing government are subjected to daily torture. According to them, everyone at Fidesz was either a communist, an informant, a Hitler Youth, or a small arrow. Fidesz (and "Lőrinc the Treasurer") has already stolen everything, defeated everyone, humiliated them, left them on the side of the road, and daily leads the country into hair-raising tricks and even resists the great György Soros, and wants neither war nor migration, and another Euronist he would not abolish borders for the sake of federation either. In fact, he even supports the culture and university of the writer in question's hometown, as well as the unity of the nation in a sinful way. Even the modest Parisian hussar Péter Jakab has fallen apart since then, and according to many left-wing informants, he did not even like his Nazi party, and even harshly criticized it, unlike the opposition led by Gyurcsány, who found nothing objectionable in their close cooperation with him.
Now, I ask
after all this, what else cannot be said, why a play cannot be presented, because Péter Rudolf is afraid (Of whom, of what?).
Perhaps he is afraid, like Dániel Szerencsés (1983), whom he played in another adventure film, who, tormented by the dilemma "to go or stay" after the 1956 revolution, would run away to the West with his friend Gyuri (Sándor Zsótér). " Every lie needs a wink, " explains one of the police officers to Szerencsés, who doesn't understand hypocritical behavior. " We know it, they know it too " is said, and then the filmmakers "wink" at the viewer of the time.
"In the country where it can be said that there is no freedom of the press, there is freedom of the press"
Andrea Földi-Kovács, the curator of the Védett Társadalom Alapítvány - with significant television history and experience - said recently, and he is right. It's just that there's this little wink, isn't it. That little bit of a half-smile from a Kádár.
We know that everything can be said, whether it's true or not, but let's take every opportunity to create a myth of fear in people (the left has a lot of practice in this), that there is serious censorship and self-censorship here, and whoever does not stand in line, the black car will take it away. They want to present today's society in the state they brought it to over 40 years.
We are slowly realizing that the representatives of the bourgeois right will be spies, informers, terrorists, censors - and the actual criminals and their descendants are the Hungarian freedom fighters.
How long can the world be twisted with impunity, my friends? This is no longer about freedom of opinion, but about subversion. About the continuous lies abroad and at home. About the attack of left-liberals who vote against the Hungarian nation in the European Parliament, report to the EU, send students to the "battle line" for compromising photos, and unite the Nazis in a united front.
At the same time, let's face it, that among the priorities of the national government, the support of those cultural values is in the first place, the topics of which were banned, or silenced, by the intense, winking, but if necessary kicking with boots and beating the soles with rubber sticks, hanging communist regime, or at best he lied about them.
About Trianon, about Hungarians who were expelled and still live abroad as second-class citizens, about Christian (for them non-Christian) and tradition-respecting values. Or precisely about the successes of the Hungarian people, because such a "sinful nation" cannot be: about Saint István, the greats of Árpádház, the Hunyadis, that is, about the glorious chapters of our history. But we could also talk about Miklós Horthy, the vice admiral who did not let the country's ship sink after the Great Collapse (But he is still on the index!). When these topics come into focus, they are immediately met with visceral rejection by the proudly cosmopolitan left.
I am very sorry that the script for the Adventure film has not been completed. I think the Vígszínház also regrets it. I really hope it will be completed and presented one day. I'm really curious about it. In other words, what cannot be said in this country, must be covered up and feared. The play is supposed to be about the division of today's Hungarian society. Who or what shares it? My suspicion is that our national values, which are the targets of a kind of inner-city mockery - and not witty satire - should be covered up, feared, and kept united.
"We know it, they know it too!"
