    Revenge ... HURT the avenger himself

    Revenge .. unfortunately .. is the theme of the movie : Ludas maTTIE .. I was born in the eighties and of course I watched the movie .. And of course as children we were not aware of that at the time .. Unfortunately, it instills the DESIRE for revenge in the depths of innocent children, Revenge and the "urgent desire" for revenge ... hurt its owner ( the avenger himself ) ..!! .. Yes, it hurts him psychologically ... And revenge may inflame issues and ignite them more ... But ... There are GOOD "alternatives" for revenge ..!! Yes, of course, those good alternatives are much much better ... and from personal experience ....

    Sorry for the length.

    • Trivia
      The first Hungarian movie filmed in color. Because of the lack of money filmmakers used Gevacolor reels, which were found by the police at smugglers on the Romanian border. This caused that all color prints of this movie paled down to black and white in a few years, and the sound also heavily damaged.
    • Alternate versions
      A fully restored color-print with original sound was released in 2004 for additional television and theater release.

      Featured in From Europe Into Europe (2003)
