The Deluge	comment	The Deluge (Potop) is a 1974 Polish film directed by Jerzy Hoffman, and an adaptation of Sienkiewicz Trilogy, tome two (also titled The Deluge).It is set during the Second Northern War, a multi-nation Eastern European conflict that lasted from 1655 to 1660. Andrzej Kmicic, a Hot-Blooded Polish nobleman, already distinguished as a commander, arrives in the town where his fiance lives, to meet her for the first time, since the marriage has been arranged by their respective grandfathers. Oleńka Billewiczówna, the beautiful and intelligent young noblewoman, is immediately smitten with the tall, handsome Andrzej, and it seems like theirs will be a love match.However, external events interrupt the blooming romance. First, Andrzej's rambunctious officers get into a conflict with the nobles of a local village, which ends up getting the officers murdered, which leads to Andrzej burning the town, which leads to Oleńka forsaking him. It seems that they will be reunited when Andrzej joins the forces of Duke Janusz Radziwiłł, who is resisting the Swedish invasion of Poland, a cataclysmic event known to Poles as the Swedish Deluge. However, Duke Janusz is having plans of his own, and not very patriotic plans at that.

They go to the well to get water—and the men draw back, startled. Andrzej looks down the well, and they move on. The strong implication is that there are human corpses at the bottom of the well.

Which leads to a dramatic reveal later on, as he declares his true identity after atoning for some of his sins and thus gains royalists' trust.

The Deluge / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Andrzej not only makes the mistake of challenging the experienced and famous swordsman, colonel Michał Wołodyjowski, to a sabre duel, but also walks into the duel with Suicidal Overconfidence. Wołodyjowski spends the ensuing several minutes humiliating Kmicic in various ways, from firing a multi-layered insult his way, to spinning his sword mid-battle, to flinging Kmicic's sword off into the distance with a little flick. Kmicic is left to realize he's nothing more than a nuisance to Wołodyjowski and eventually just pleads with the colonel to Get It Over With to let him preserve some dignity.

Andrzej, who had sworn an oath on a cross to support the duke, realizes that he's damned either way, damned for betraying his oath if he supports the Polish resistance, and damned for betraying Poland if he supports the duke.

All the while being obviously bored. Eventually, Kmicic realises the only thing he can keep is what's left of his dignity, so he asks to be simply killed already.

Even more shocking is when duke Janusz Radziwiłł invites all his noblemen to a feast and then, out of nowhere, raises his cup in a toast of allegiance to the king of Sweden. Then he has the outraged noblemen arrested when they try to leave the hall.

He also says that he will turn on the Swedes once he has enough power to do so—once he is King of Poland. He's later revealed to be lying, in that he's perfectly happy for the Swedes to set him up as their vassal king in Poland.

He still easily overpowers and shoots Kmicic with his own pistol when Andrzej tries to kidnap the duke - and unlike in the novel, this comes out of the blue, much to Kmicic and audience's surprise.
