Oh, father of mercy, do not leave me! Let every soul sob and curse, shake its fist and shout in despair, let the nation mourn! A terrible thing happened, which can only be survived by shedding bitter tears, because the Great Actor did not get a role.
This is so incredibly sad! Allegedly, a long time ago, at the dawn of harsh times, a decent, anti-government individual named Péter Geszti wanted to produce a film. Allegedly, Andy Vajna's Filmalap, must have fainted at the sight of the greatness of the script submitted by the Geszti group, voted for the requested support, but the new despotic management came, and they allegedly said no. That it won't be a disaster if the gigantically talented Nagy gets the main role. What could poor Petykó do? He renounced his acting genius and the great work was completed, yes.
"Hello, my life!" must have been a loud, noisy success. epic, only I didn't hear it because my hearing is deteriorating. Even today, I wouldn't know that there was such a film, if Mr. Geszti's self-accusation did not force him to testify and make it public, both he and the Great Artist are victims of evil despots, who do not like the Great Artist and ban it. O father of mercy, do not forsake me!
Let's say they really did talk. Honestly, I don't think so, but let's assume. Who said it? If Mr. Geszti has already started this action, don't stop, name the person. Then, of course, it would not be possible to obfuscate, to be mysterious, to direct the suspicions to the government, because if someone in Hungary claims that they "talked down" to him, everyone instinctively thinks of those at the top of the power. Would this be the purpose of the very belated and interestingly now relevant "mea culpa"?
Rita Perintfalvi, a great friend of the Hungarian government and a humble supporter of the church, attached indignant thoughts to the confession and, taking personal revenge, made the terrible decision not to watch anything by Péter Geszti for a year.
I haven't watched anything by Geszti for several years now, not because I'm angry with him, but because I don't care. I consider him a talented text fabricator, no doubt about that, but nothing more than that. This is also a big thing, not everyone was given such great talent by God, and Geszti lived with it, which is commendable. Of course, he also took advantage of all the "tax optimization" opportunities when the kata still existed. As soon as it ceased to exist, he announced with a sad heart that he was done, that was all, he had to liquidate the business, from which he could take a modest dividend of 71 million in 2022. You are right, if you can, do it, take advantage of the opportunities, just don't cry over your miserable fate. It's exactly as inelegant as ditching a main character for juice.
Although I don't understand why it's such a loss if an individual who thinks he's a great actor, but who became known not for his roles, but for his political histrionics, can't play something. I know that my opinion is only mine, there is no need to share it, but I certainly can't find that superior talent even by searching with a magnifying glass. It's probably just me, as well as the fact that the Hungarian nobleman played for big money in the Great Artist turned out to be a gray role in a good film. The only thing missing from the performance were the emotions that he produces in every case when he has to insult the Hungarian government or the Christian-conservative side.
Rita of Perintfalvi naturally bows down before the greatness of the Great Artist, as the flag-chewer is not a coward and "doesn't want to be trifled with". It's true, he doesn't sneer, but he pockets the money he received from the dictatorship without hesitation or mental anguish. This is not a tickle, as regardless of the good little appanage, he continues to insult himself with full chest width. Either you don't know the saying, or you don't care that it's not appropriate to piss where we get food.
It is not obligatory to love the government that allows us to live well, but throwing mud at it is disgusting. You can hate in silence.
I'm sorry that Geszti's "tickling" drove a wedge between these three great figures, but I have no doubt that they will reconcile. One password, one flag, common hatred is a strong bond.
It would be sad if they had to continue the dirty work in solitude.
