A toddler in trouble
Three kidnappers decide to kidnap the child of a wealthy industrialist. Under the pretext of photographing the boy, they appear at his parents’ house. The action is successful, but the clever two-year-old, using the first opportunity, escapes the kidnappers and discovers the secrets and temptations of the big city that were previously unavailable to him.
The question is, where is the fantasy hiding in this family adventure film? It is about the title toddler named Bennington, who in the real world would not have a better chance of walking along a busy metropolis street or using a crane to climb to the highest floors of a skyscraper construction site. Even the gorilla cage scene seems real, as we have witnessed many times the ape-human bond of friendship. Let’s think, would we (without fear) let a child into a cage with a powerful, wild animal ourselves? When it comes to toddler manual skills, I am full of admiration. He easily uses objects reserved at least for preschoolers, and the scene with one of the kidnappers being set on fire with a lighter is a comedic masterpiece. Where else is the fantasy hiding? Let’s see we have three adult guys who cleverly abducted an infant. How can they not control a vulnerable child? Pure fantasy.
The film Brzdąc w opałach was released in theaters in 1994. Film academies rated him very low. In my opinion, it was too harsh a sentence, because today he has many fans, including me. – Kamil Sawicki
