Hey everyone,
I'm a 20 year old male from Denmark who wanted to come and say hi and disciss this movie. I hope this forum doesn't totally die
Isaw Fucking Åmål/Show Me Love some years ago and I remembered it as a very good movie. I rented the movie again yesterday and instantly ordered it after I finished. It's truly an amazing tale that's hard not to fall in love with. I'm finding that the characters have extreme amounts of emotinal integrity and just plain old likability which helps to make this movie stand out from the crowd. I've seen many good Swedish movies but this one takes the cake hands down.
I find myself thinking about it all the time and how I - somehow - want to be in that world instead of my own. To my surprise I've seen several like-minded people in here. On some level it actually frustrates me that it's not real, which is more than I can say about any other movie I've ever seen. It really isn't healthy for me :O
While the movie was extremely good and a joy to watch, I almost wish I hadn't in some sense. It's on my mind constantly now. I also ordered Lilja 4-ever just to see if this movie has some of the same traits to it as Fucking Åmål.
Truly I don't think any movie has touched me more emotinally and that in itself probably makes it the greatest movie I have ever seen. The identification I feel with the main character is beyond my understanding even though her problems aren't exactly the same as my own.
How do you all feel about this? Do you have the same thougts as I did?
Thanks
