Review of Children of Glory (2006) by Marco F — 05 Feb 2008
A must-see movie about the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. Soviet tanks are rolling into Budapest, repressing the political spring of Imre Nagy and the anspirations of the Hungarian people to freedom and democracy. In the meantine the Hungarian water polo team are engaged in the Melbourne Olympic Game and face Soviet Union in a harsh semifinal, that is probably the most famous match in water polo history.
The historical background is carefully reconstructed and the movie contains highly dramatic scenes. The last part in particular is very moving.
