I am. All three.
Perhaps if you took time out to consider the modern Jungian perspective on FA/SML you might see a connection?
Just in terms of the Myers-Briggs development of Jungian personality types, FA/SML has so much to offer. Moodysson is not a psychologist but in Elin and Agnes, he created the classic (if slightly unrealistic, but that is called ‘dramatic licence’) interface between completely opposite poles. Like magnets they attract, though not without friction.
Elin, typically ''ESFP" profile. Agnes , typically ''INTJ" profile. e.g. Elin : Extrovert, Sensory (concrete, evidence-seeking), Feeling, Perceptive. Agnes: Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judgmental.
This is the kind of ''mismatch'' which makes for short-term ''roller-coaster'' relationship, but long-term consolidation. It is the psychological premise for the project I have been working on for the past year, ''Landet Som Icke Är" which pre-supposes that this is a relationship built to last.
As for music, you need to consider, what would have been the musical influences on the pair over the years AFTER FA/SML? That is ‘Open Season’ for anyone to interpret. My own soundtrack to their lives has them attending the MUSE live concert at Wembley Stadium in June 2007 (The same month 'Naissance des Pieuvres' was being filmed in Cergy-Pontoise). On the "HAARP' combination, If you buy the combined CD/DVDs (a bargain at 5 quid from HMV!) you will see Agnes and Elin outthere in the audience. For my money, for Agnes it would be ‘Invincible’ immediately followed in the set by ‘Starlight ’ which would be Elin’s choice of theme song for their relationship.
MMM 'k
Here's the lyrics for what thy are worth:
"Invincible"
Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe
Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your souls unbreakable
During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible
During the struggle
They will pull us down
Please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible
"Starlight"
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
