It's okay, a little contrived

This type of film is not bad. It allows us to see further parts of the world, and there are always surprises. For example, the African leader forcibly slits the belly of a pregnant woman to bet on whether it is a male or a female.

What the director wanted to express was good. Violence will never solve the problem, but the middle doctor felt pretentious when he went to the repair shop. . . I cannot agree. Ordinary people are not gods, just hit you on the left cheek, why should you stretch out your right cheek and wait for someone to hit you?

The Nordic shooting is very deep and atmospheric, the plot is a little procrastinated, and the preaching is also very heavy. It is not as natural and real as the scorched city. It looks a little disturbing and irritating.

    Will the world be any better?

    All characters except christian's grandma are fully played, including two colleagues of the stupid car mechanic. Born into the WTO, as far as I have seen so far, it is rare that the internal conflict in the plot logic of Nordic movies is so strong, the sound and painting are clean and neat, and so are the small actors

In a Better World quotes

  • Christian: [after testing some explosives] Fuck! That was sick! Imagine if we use one of the big ones. His car will be blown to pieces.

    Elias: Whose car?

    Christian: That asshole, Lars.

    Elias: You want to blow up his car?

    Christian: Sure.

    Elias: Someone will find out. A car is really expensive.

    Christian: Your dad will be pleased.

    Elias: I'm not so sure.

    Christian: Doesn't matter. No one will find out. Are you in or out?

    Elias: I'm not sure...

    Christian: If you're not in, I would like my knife back right now.
