Just saw the Swedish movie ‘A Man Called Ove’. A sad yet feel good movie at the same time. The Europeans do these movies with low budgets and much greater sensitivity than our friends in Hollywood. The sound track was a feature.
I leave you with the closing song.
have not seen it!Has anyone seen Black Lake?
The BBC have shown it - must have missed it at the time. Should be available on Iplayer or elsewhere..

Yes I think it is.Maybe a collaboration w Norwegian TV? That actor on the right is Norwegian.
heheheWas Borg the greatest Norwegian and player?
Such fine and delicate features with lanky bodies and silk smooth hair !!
It’s like the left over garbage went to the UK
Yet to see the 1st episode however Black Widows is worth watching for the 3 lead female characters alone

The one on the left is Norwegian.They look like a Swedish version of Charlie's Angels!![]()
Her har vi masse snø nå!Black lake (Svartsjön) first episode wasn't that bad.
Swedish / Norwegian / Danska actors.
Beautiful scenery.
Det gjorde att vi längtade efter fjällen och skidåkning.
Correction, the whole of Europe did soThat's funny because I think the UK sent it's left over garbage to the US.
The one on the left is Norwegian.
Movie got Swedish, Norwegian and Danish actresses![]()

Im ok watching torture and killings as long as its not kids involved, then its just too painful.Something to watch on my own then
Marie doesn't do scary or torture..
Marie's okay with killings if as Arnie says in true lies "they were all bad".Im ok watching torture and killings as long as its not kids involved, then its just too painful.
I can speak danish and understand it. Its a fun language to try to speak.Marie's okay with killings if as Arnie says in true lies "they were all bad".
Or for example loosely historical like Vikings.
If the subject matter doesn't interest then the tolerance goes down..
She would watch Terminator the Sarah Connor chronicles as a sci-fi liker but not something like Banshee or parts of the Tudors.
It's a fine line finding stuff to watch sometimes.
We watched the first episodes of Black Widows. Not bad.
We struggle with some of the Danish, sorry Danes but a lot of Swedes do.
The Moth scenes ep 2 sums it up nicely.
I know lots of people from southern coastal Sweden who have no problem with Danish, but move further north it's a different story.
They will do all they can to avoid speaking Danish
How is it with you?
Ah that's good.I can speak danish and understand it. Its a fun language to try to speak.
Laver du ballade?

Yes indeed.I have to throw in Astrid Lindgren here. Her books formed Scandinavian kids. She must be one of the most influental writers after Ibsen.
Mio min mio, Emil i Lønneberget, Ronja Røverdatter, Brødrene Løvehjerte, Pippi, etc.
There are so many tv series and movies based on her books.
I remember specially Løvehjerte and Ronja Røverdatter being big for me. I have girlfriends naming their daughters Ronja after watching it when they were kids themselves.
Nope never been there.Yes indeed.
Karlsson på taket
Have you been to Astrid Lindgrens värld?
Ive been once to Umeå. Had a good time having saunas and swimming in lakes.Ah that's good.
I know the more we watch and listen the more we understand.. it's just exposure.
It's funny, listening to some songs seem easier. Perhaps it's the repetition?
I wonder does a the average Dane understand everything a norläning says? Easier as they don't say much![]()
Yes that's what I've gathered.Ive been once to Umeå. Had a good time having saunas and swimming in lakes.
Its quite common that swedes and norwegians dont understand danish that well and vice versa.
I have an interest in language and danish is so similar in writing to norwegian, its like its a farout dialect. We have a lot of dialects in Norway, that is probably difficult to understand for some as well.
Usually scandies find Oslo area easier to understand?Yes that's what I've gathered.
We have a friend from Bergen we have no problem with.
Oslo area Norway not so difficult.
That's really beautiful.Usually scandies find Oslo area easier to understand?
Sunrise today.

Very Scandinavian humour..
It was made in Norwegian first and was so popular there they made in English with Norwegian actors, accents and all. I think that's nice.
Apparently 1 million of the 5 million total Norwegian population watched it!
Did you see it when first released GoA?
In Vikings Floki was played by Stellan Skarsgård's son, Gustav Skarsgård.Yes, i watched some of it. Its on tv here. Was funny for a season,then i got a bit fed up w it.
I love Vikings. Its on HBO. Not a comedy or scandinavian.
Yes, Floki is one of the best actors in the series. Its very much built up on real vikings believes. There is a couple of Norwegian actors in it as well. And honestly... some of the blond actors in there probably has some viking genetics from back in the days, as blond blue eyes originates Scandinavia.In Vikings Floki was played by Stellan Skarsgård's son, Gustav Skarsgård.
Stellan was in that sort of comedy film En ganska snill man.
So a little Scandi connection in Vikings. And they were supposed to be in Uppsala, centre of all things Asatron (old Norse religion).

Its not a documentary about vikings, so I don't think people believe this is a true story.Oh the irony...only a LITTLE Scandi connection about VIKINGS???
The so-called history in the series is almost complete rubbish. Different characters from different time periods all mixed up for starters. Entertaining enough so long as you view it like a Scandi version of Game of Thrones!![]()
