The what and the what? I liked Max Manus a lot.



Please grow up.

Uno and Izzat was like two of the biggest Norwegian movies in 2000s after Max Manus.

Don't you think a single person on Juventuz is going to mock the Manus-Anus? I was just giving a heads up

Might be, I never really followed the local cinema living in Norway. I can't say that I do anymore now. Do you know Salmer fra kjøkkenet? I loved it.

Isn't that like saying "well they were gonna shoot him anyway so I decided to shoot first"?

I can't keep this up, it's way too hard.

This story is supposed to take place sometime in the 12th century. Apparently English as we know it in the 21st century was already the international language then, because the Christians and the Muslims in Jerusalem were able to chat freely in it.

Isn't English the spoken language in nearly all movie set in that time period? And it's always in a British accent. I find that strange too but it's so commonly done.

Sure, coming out of Hollywood at least. But when the movie is in Swedish, produced in Sweden, then changing the "default" language of the movie typically is a signal of some kind. That you are actually making a point of saying they spoke English, as opposed to just narrating.

Salmer fra kjøkkenet OMG Thats sick! Good ol' days.

It might be like me shooting anyways, but it was more like: you can't take the jokes on me cuz I already know them

The movie came out of Sweden but there were non-Swedish actors in it as well.

It was such a perfect depiction of the Scandinavian way of being, no?

Still made for a Swedish audience, no? Otherwise they would make it all in English.

It was too perfect.

It was even shown international under the name "Kitchen Stories"

I agree but the thought of Salahuddin Ayubi speaking Swedish cracks me up

What other Norwegian movies have you seen that you'd recommend?

Hey the idea that Guillou writes these books that are centered on Sweden with scraps of "internationalism" in them to make them seem cool seems really hilarious (and sad) to me too

 

[Zé Tahir]

Best Norwegian movie I ever saw was Insomnia. That Izzat movie Fake Melo mentioned is about Pakistani's youth that grew up in Norway and got involved in crime. Not really interesting for any non-Pakistani's I would imagine.

edit: I forgot Max Manus is Norwegian. That is the best Norwegian movie I've seen.

Hmm, I am no big fan of Norwegian movies.. But, Izzat was pretty cool, it's about Pakistani kids in Oslo growing up with local thugs and getting involved with gang-shit.

"Sønner" was also decent, have you heard of it?

Nope. You'll have to excuse me, but I pretty much assumed anything Norwegian produced was garbage so I never cared.

It pretty much is

But! The guy who produced Izzat is one of the best in Norway IMO.

We also have horror movies like "Fritt Villt".

At some point I expect Martin to interject with "Pfft...sell that shit to the tourists"

I'm tellin ya man, these Chinese tourists is all over Norwegian movies and Norwegian culture

I'm actually putting myself on a diet of Dutch movies soon, I need to frickin train my hearing for it. I hope the movie industry here is better than the award winning Norweigan/Swedish combo.

 

[Martin]

But now that we've pretty much established there's not much to see out of Norway, let me reiterate that Max Manus frickin kicked butt.
