Summary: Finally a good movie about teenagers in love (with a twist)

Hollywood always portrays teenagers through clichés and prejudices. No
wonder that this fresh look upon teenagers comes from Sweden, a country
the movies of which only seldom make it to our screens. Fucking Åmål
makes me wish we saw more Swedish movies, since there is definitely
something special about them. The director has chosen a very difficult
subject for his first movie : the (love)story of two young girls. Agnes,
16 (very cute Rebecka Liljeberg), is in love with Elin, 14 (enthralling
Alexandra Dahlström). Agnes is very closed in upon herself, and doesn't
seem to have a single friend. Elin is probably the first person she has
ever loved. Elin, on the contrary, is a most lively girl who can't stand
the boredom of her own life. Getting drunk allows her to forget about
the meaninglessness of life in the small town of Åmål. Boredom and
idleness are indeed an underlying theme of the movie (especially in its
portrayal of youth). Elin dreams about attacking old ladies, setting
houses on fire, fleeing to Stockholm, whatever will put some excitement
in her life. All the boys are attracted to her, but though she has dated
many, she is still a virgin. Through Agnes, she will discover that she
is a lesbian herself, and the deep torments that she feel are extremely
well shown by Lukas Moodysson, the director, in the most sensitive way
possible. It is very hard to express through images the mental tortures
of a teenager who can't accept herself, but Fucking Åmål does it
perfectly. I don't think it is possible to walk out of this movies and
not be in love with Elin and Agnes (no matter if one is a man or a
woman). Everyone has suffered from the kind of torment these two girls
live through, and Fucking Åmål will make those who often consider
adolescence with condescension or even scorn have a whole new look on
it. Rarely have I seen actresses that young that talented. Wait, let me
rephrase that : rarely have I seen actresses that talented, period. It
is hard to get out of this movie, and get back to everyday life, because
it feeds on one's own capacity for emotion continuously, even once the
lights have been switched on again and the screen has turned white. And
the only way to feed that need for sheer emotion is to go see Fucking
Åmål again, again, and again.


Okay, i think that this text describes the movie really well, but that's
not really all....That movie , it just is too cute for words...The cast
is great, and the two main actresses are just fantastic....The
characters are just so... okay, maybe i like the whole powerful,
outgoing girl in love with the shy smart one, it reminds me of another
couple, but that's just me : ) ... While some may say that this is like
any other romantic comedy ( well, there's the gender thing, but ...) i
just know that there is something else....This movie , unlike many
others you see in theathers everyday, is touching, it's real, and that's
why it's so good...

To those wondering why i'm promoting the movie...no reason at all...it's
just that i loved it , it's a movie worth seeing , so if you're in the
mood for a movie or have nothing to do, go rent it...

And then , after you see it you go and write a fic ( maybe a future
based one*) and send me the url....WHAT? ......If you read so far you
knew i was going to do this...But don't worry, i'll only start begging
after a month....or maybe a week, whatever comes first : ) Or if you
don't write fics, you can just talk about it...


Well, i'm going
See the movie or i kill you : )
Tchau
