The plot of the film “Oskar, Patka and Gold Baltic” He focuses on the two of the title young heroes who, during the summer trip to the Baltic Sea, come across a mysterious, encrypted map. The find suggests the existence of a hidden treasure, which makes children to prepare a secret plan to find it. Bruno is involved in the investigation (play Piotr Głowacki) – an eccentric actor known to viewers from the previous part of the film “Detective Bruno”. The situation gets complicated when Patka suddenly disappears, forcing Oskar and Bruna to take desperate search.
The film in an attractive way combines adventure cinema elements with a valuable message. Young viewers, following the fate of the heroes, discover with Patka and Oskar how important friendship, cooperation and mutual support are. The adventures of the two heroes leave us with reflection that true wealth does not always hide in gold, but in interpersonal relationships. However, there is no intrusive moralizing and in the film does not dominate the didactic tone, because there is definitely an adventure in the foreground.
Creating movies for a young audience, where the viewer has a chance to get caught up in the fate of the characters and get out of the screening with some kind of reflection and some thinking, is extremely important if We want to build a future adult audience of Polish author cinema. Movies like “Oskar, Patka and Gold Baltic” They educate us a qualitative young audience who wants and is able to follow history, get involved in a film at an emotional level, without waiting only for the “cinema of attractions” – that is, the constant visual stimulation known from the content on YouTube.
We live, of course, now in times of absolute satiety and the availability of content for the young viewer, However, worse with the quality of such an offer. The overwhelming majority of films for young viewers – available today – emphasize the spectacular image of the image, supra -realistic special effects, daring twists and turns. It is clear that such content attracts a young audience, but it is often closer to such productions for thicket reels or youtube shorts, which do not force reflection, do not engage at the level of history, do not arouse empathy in the hero and are a visual dump.
The audience brought up on this type of message will not go to the cinema in the future for a Polish author’s film. That’s why It is important that the Polish offer of content for the young viewer is qualitative – and such a proposal is “Oskar, Patka and Gold Baltic”. The added value is also the fact that The film treats the young viewer with respect – He does not smuggle jokes incomprehensible to younger audiences to satisfy and make parents laugh. This aspect is that the young viewer feels that the film was created priority with it in mind. It was certainly a bold decision from the producers to make sure that this young viewer came out of the cinema satisfied. It makes him “Oskar, Patka and Gold Baltic” This is actually a family cinema that does not pretend.
In addition, in addition to the history perfectly tailored to the sensitivity and needs of younger audiences, The film is also attractive for the image. Photos taken in the picturesque scenery of the Tri -City add an unusual atmosphere to the film. Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia in a holiday climate become not only a background, but also an important element of history, which makes the screening even more attractive. There is also a hint of retro nostalgia in this film, because the climate, resembles “old” good Polish adventure filmsto which we often come back to both heroes and the story itself.
“Oskar, Patka and Gold Baltic” is a warm, humor family film. A thoughtful plot, friendly heroes and beautiful landscapes make it a great proposition for a common cinema afternoon.
