Bluebird (2013)
Life in a small village
SPOILER As the trailer tells us something is happening in the small village that will change the life for the main character. The movie has a nice footage and are approaching the story in a nice slow pace so that we get a good understanding of the day to day life. In the movie everything is presented in an linear way and we will never get to know what is happening when the camera is turned off. The ending is open ended and as an answer on the face to face session the director explained he had a lot of different endings but selected this one as the story will continue and we don't know what is happening. The most important part is not the ending it is that people has started to communicate with each other.
I feel that this communication part is very important and is also essential to get a working society. A society where you involve lawyers(not usually in Sweden) is a crazy society where you miss that we all are humans. So when I got this message of the movie explained I really liked the story and the movie BUT without listening Lance Edmands I feel I should have missed this message...
That I firsted missed this essential message makes that the movie doesn't get a higher rating. It is well played and the actors are excellent but I miss that the importance of communicating is more obvious.
Vuxna människor (1999)
To predictable
For me this is a story that starts with some funny jokes regarding Franks fanatasies when he is travelling with a staircase and when he is sitting in business meetings... The problem is that when you have been watching this movie for an hour you will see the same fantasies/funny situations again and again and again. It is to predictable. It is more done as a TV story where you can go away and come back without missing anything.
I like Felix Herngren as Frank but that is not enough even when it is a comedy it has to have more variations and some kind of message to it's audience....
