The sacred Dule90 approval. Elaborate. :D
They bought me right at the beginning when I heard Vivaldi's Four Seasons lol. It really gave a dramatic spark throughout the movie. I really liked it but then again I think many people would leave unsatisfied for the same reasons I liked it. It's a good and realistic story about the family and its bonds, battle of emotions, shattering marriage with kids around and bitterness of life. It's one of those movies that makes you wonder 'what would I do' :D. I also liked how it was pretty much left open for interpretation. Some minor stuff like the guy who cleaned the hotel made it very realistic. I don't think there's much to say about it. Or there is, but I guess everyone can interpret differently some/majority of parts. I thought it was a different kind of movie so I was kinda surprised. Oh and btw, the dialog parts were top notch, I don't think many movies managed to nail it (Before Trilogy and My Dinner with Andre are one of the rare imo). I also really liked the ending.

It's uncanny how realistic Östlund's films feel. :D As you say, the dialogue, the small details like the janitor on the hotel and especially the way it's filmed. The long, static wide shots are perfect for making you feel uneasy. At times it's almost like you're trapped with real person. You want to look away, but you can't. De ofrivilliga is even more cringeworthy, but Force Majeure a more complete film.

Oh, and I didn't know you watched the Before films. :tup:

I didn't search anything about the movie but I saw how this one is compared to Bergman. I think it's an exaggeration :D but it's still a very good movie imo.

Yeah I did, long time ago. I've never seen such movie lol. It felt quite weird and one of the rare movies that felt so realistic. The dialogues were incredible and it's definitely one of the most realistic movie (trilogy) that I've ever seen. Not a huge drama fan but that's most likely my favorite one. But then again it's hard to classify some movies. But I really rate high Before trilogy.

Yeah, I don't think it's very similar to Bergman either, but both being Swedish is probably the main reason for the comparison. I mean, I can see how it's inspired by Scenes from a Marriage, but Östlund has developed his own unique style. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

I love the Before movies too. It might be that they are only about two people walking and talking, but they are hundred times more captivating than every disaster movie out there. Probably the best romance movies out there as far as I'm concerned. :D

Yes! Lol, when I finished watching it I was sitting and thinking like 'did they just... talk... the whole time?' :D it was pretty unique and hard to pull but they totally did it.

The Before trilogy? And I'm the one who gets called a hipster dingo here!?!? Those films are adored by hipsters around the world. :lol:

(Autocorrect makes hipsterdinho into hipster dingo, which is so much better...)

Watched American Sniper this weekend.


F*cking awesome movie.
I really liked American Sniper too. Screw you Dusan.

You're not alone in this, @Hustini.

I liked it too.;)
I don't even think people should go deep about what this movie represent or not,or take an opinion about it.
Just a cool true story has been shown to world.(and even if it's changed a bit for a movie,it's not the point of it...)

Imdb rating of this movie is pretty good and they are really harsh there with the ratings...
Suprised to see people say it's a shit movie actually...i hear and read everywhere just good comments and reviews.
But well,everyone to his taste.
