      A good person (En ganske snill mann, 2010)

      1. A good person (En ganske snill mann, 2010) can laugh at personnel and be humorous.

      2. John 8:32 "The truth will set you free", which is the Western proverb "The truth will set you free", but is this the truth? Let’s compare the middle part of the storyline with the ending of the story: When the protagonist of the story tries to talk to the charterer and says, "Let’s talk about it," what will end? When he later uses the car box as a coffin and a scrap iron yard as a cemetery,...

      A good man

      Sometimes an unbearable life and an unbearable past do not mean anything. I like the attitude of the car repair shop owner in the movie. It is human nature to mess up. We should give them a second chance. It is often unpleasant to happen again. It is not voluntary. On the contrary, the strange vision of the people around them makes them unable to get rid of the past and start a new life. Therefore, the tragedy happens again. So, give them a second chance.
      In the movie, the old women...

      Hollywood movie after all

      This film started to be wrong from the trash can hug and fell, until the mother beast forced the mating to complete, set the tone of black humor, and brought a wave of rhythm to the hard-core actor who originally had Hemingway-Carver's unobtrusive appearance. , Turned into a horse whip with Nordic decoration style.

      The narrative logic of this film is the natural emotional need of Ponytails. After arranging the livelihood, he sought his wife for warmth. After a sex, he reached a climax...

      On the road, spring

      The last scene of the film is a good man smoking a cigarette and saying, on the road, spring.
          Once angry as a beauty, he deviated from his life track. After 12 years, he returned to his original life. Despite everyone's rejection, he still believed in the power of a better life, so he had a house, a girlfriend, and became a grandfather. , The new life made him believe that life can continue on the original track, even though there was a car dealer’s boss who talked a lot of words, he...

      Step by step seems to be wrong

      The protagonist seems to walk one step at a time in his life, and the failure after being released from prison is the inertia to continue this wrong path. The protagonist’s son’s happy life is his only solace. Even if he is not accepted. This makes me even more sympathetic to him. The director seems to be a clear statement that he has to bear all the imaginable and unexpected consequences for the evil he has done. The deprivation of other people’s lives is incomparable on the balance of morals,...

      Really good literature and art, the man who bakes bread in his stomach thinks that he is careful and pushes a person to this realm just to get money. Fortunately, in the end, this half-good man couldn't bear...

    Movie plot

    He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder. He was free again. Ulrike, who was bald with pigtails, was the kind of awkward gentleman. Even when he was released from prison, he received red wine from the prison guard as a gift for practice.
    Ulrike went to meet his former boss, Jason, who was once a giant of the Norwegian crime world, but now there is only one useless subordinate Rolf. Jason Anton Ulrike lives in a room about the...

    Evaluation action

    The film contains weird and unusual humor, fragmented violence, and all-encompassing and bizarre characters. At the same time, the distinctive friendliness and grossness of the character's personality, the character's loyalty to the life of the petty bourgeoisie under extremely rudimentary conditions, and the restrained comedic effect of the film all signify this unique Scandinavian sensitivity. In this film, the air-like briskness...
