In the article, I am going to present the image of Polish intellectual based on selected film motifs. The cinema of the Polish People’s Republic created a distinct type of Polish intellectual who appeared in many films. He was not, however, a homogenous type, since a noble assistant or professor was contrasted with a cynical associate professor. I will try to capture the common features and answer the question whether it is possible to talk about a specific, consistent image of an intellectual in the then Polish People’s cinema, or whether the discussed types differ from each other.

W artykule zamierzam zaprezentować obraz polskiego inteligenta na wybranych motywach filmowych. Kino PRL wykreowało osobny typ inteligenta, który pojawiał się w wielu filmach. Nie był jednak typem jednorodnym, gdyż szlachetnemu asystentowi czy profesorowi przeciwstawiano cynicznego docenta. Postaram się uchwycić cechy wspólne i odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy możemy mówić o pewnym spójnym wizerunku intelektualisty w ówczesnym kinie Polski Ludowej, czy też omawiane typy różnią się od siebie.

This article seeks to answer the following question: Can the history of Polish society provide the basis for developing the contemporary ethics of self-restraints? The author refers to folk history research from recent years, discussing hunger, cold and the constant fear for biological survival as the fate of the majority of people living in the Polish lands until the mid-twentieth century. She wonders how crude necessity could contribute to the formation of an attitude of conscious choice in modern people who are aware of the burden of their complicated legacy. While the article does not provide clear-cut answers, it points out the paradoxical bond in the fate of people from different epochs and the fear of catastrophe as a repetitive experience. At the same time, she shows that nowadays at least we have a choice as to what ethical approach to adopt with respect to the latter.
