Paradoksy podróży w czasie w kinie Juliusza Machulskiego

Słowa kluczowe: podróż w czasie, paradoks, wehikuł czasu, kino, science fiction, fantasy

Abstrakt

Tematyka podróży w czasie nie cieszy się zbytnią popularnością w kinie polskim. Filmy Ile waży koń trojański? (2008) i AmbaSSada (2013) w reżyserii Juliusza Machulskiego, wnikliwego obserwatora i ostrego krytyka polskiej rzeczywistości społeczno-politycznej, są rzadkimi wyjątkami. Znany z kina komediowego lat 80., obnażającego absurdy reżimu komunistycznego w Polsce, Machulski zabiera widzów w podróż w czasie w dwóch postmilenijnych produkcjach z pogranicza fantasy i science fiction. Ile waży koń trojański? przenosi widzów w czasy późnego PRL-u, a AmbaSSada – do roku 1939 w przeddzień wybuchu II wojny światowej. Celem tego artykułu jest analiza zjawiska podróży w czasie, jego paradoksów i konsekwencji, jak również natury diegetycznej rzeczywistości ukazanej w filmach Juliusza Machulskiego.
