After watching the film 6-7 times the last week, I read your essay again. And there is one question that pops up in my mind. How does the title of the film affect our interpretation of it? I ask, because you seem to emphasize the "getting out of amal" (from the german title "Out of Amal") which I definitely agree with, as with anything else you've written. But don't you think people from other countries, where the film is titled Fucking Amal / Show Me Love / Love is Love could easily miss that aspect and focus more on the things their title gives them? The swedes on how fucking stupid small town Amal is, the english speaking countries on the aspect of finding the right one and the slovaks on how love is universal. Would your essay be different if you hadn't known about the german title of the film? I'm not sure if you can even give an answer to that, because it's one of those: "Did a tree really fell, if noone saw, heard or witnessed it" questions.
And in conection with that, did you think about your title for the essay "What it's all about"? How it affects peoples interpretation / perception of your essay? I know it's just a line from the song Show me love, but taken out of context, it's quite a bold statement., right up there with the answer to life, the universe and everything.
I vaguely remember that when I read it the first time, I was kind of disappointed that you stressed so much, that it was _your_ interpretation, not the universal one that the title kind of promised. Of course I couldn't have seriously expected to find out "what it's _all_ about", but the title lead me to that. Oh, but don't change it, because it really holds what it promises (you can't anyway, it's too popular anyway by now
. So here's my suggestion: If you ever redo it, think about putting the disclaimer at the end of the text.
