Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU This is a love affair between two men that met accidentally but the object of the film is gay-bashing in Denmark in general, and in extreme right Nazi movements in particular. The anti-gay position of Denmark (and its armed forces) is not explained just as if it were "natural", "organic" and "bio-degradable". But the film shows how absurd the anti-gay position of the Nazi movement is.It is for these swastika men a fundamental position because you cannot be a man and be gay at the same time. Gay men don't exist. They are not natural. They have to be naturalized back to nature with a good beating, if not simply reduced to natural vegetative non-life, generally known as death. But they don't kill. They inflict some fatal wounds so that the person will surely die in a lot of suffering and over a long period of time.That's purely barbaric and the film shows it so well that it becomes insolent, as if we were too dumb to know it.At the same time the brother of the older member, Jimmy, of the group who falls in love with the newcomer Lars is shown as disturbed: drugs, suicide, all the symptoms of a young man who was violated, brutalized and probably sexually assaulted by a member of his family, probably his elder brother, Jimmy himself, is not clearly diagnosed as being such a victim which would explain why he got his vengeance against his brother by telling the chief of the group like a fink he is about the love affair that Jimmy is having with Lars.The logic of this character is obvious but it is in no way clearly said, and this younger brother sitting next to the hospital bed of his elder brother who is in a coma and will probably never come back, and all that because he, the younger brother, spread the good news of his liaison with Lars, is pitiful and pathetic and his walking out when Lars arrives with some glances exchanged as if there were some communication meaning something we cannot know but imagine like "See what you did. Am I ever going to forgive you?" etc. And Lars as well as the fink of a younger brother could say that equally.But once again all that is not explicitly said or expressed and that is frustrating. The wider meaning that could concern human nature itself and human society as a whole is made ghostlike and the only clear message is the anti-Nazi manifesto the film is. But to say that "Pakis cost us billions of kronen whereas a bullet only cost a few cents" is rather superficial to build a plot and a psychologically sound character.But the shallowest part of the film is the love between Lars and Jimmy because it is shown as practically instantaneous, with no tenderness, no spiritual dimension, purely physical, one kiss and off we are, and emotional, contact in forced solitude, to the verge of brutality. That type of love exists for sure but it is not very eloquent to our minds in the context it is situated in, a neo-Nazi party in Denmark. In fact the Muslim Pakistanis they hate so much are not one iota different on that point. They should join forces to liberate the world of "faggots" but it works in the worst possible way since it is Jimmy who provokes the Pakistanis and Lars who saves him when he is on the point of being severely mashed down by pure numerical superiority. And during that time the local boss of the Nazi group is preventing the other members from rescuing Jimmy.That is so bleak that it leaves me dubious as for any real meaning in that film that becomes a string of grotesque vignettes and burlesque cameos on a tragic subject that is hardly seriously touched.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

kimbistrups This is a very strong movie in many respects. It has a compelling and very strong story to tell, concerning subjects of great importance, and in many ways, as the movie shows, very contradictory. It has at least four very strong performances by both of the two leading characters (David Dencik and Thure Lindhardt) and some of the supporting characters (especially Nicolas Bro and Morten Holst). It contains some very strong but also very different situations of on one hand very strong violence and on the other hand strong love and passion. One of the biggest strengths of this movie is, imo that a lot of things are never said, but only hinted at or shown by facial expressions, gestures or in some cases simply silence. Those elements added makes it a movie worth watching - if you have the stomach for it! I for one must say that the last 15 minutes of the movie left me with a very cold and very unpleasant feeling, that I have not yet been able to shake completely off two days later!

matteopregio I found this movie to be absolutely stunning in terms of direction and acting. The two lead actors were absolutely great and believable in their performances. The director was great at capturing moments of erotic tension and tenderness between the two leads. In terms of plot and story-writing there are certainly some flaws that could have been better worked out, but I really appreciated the way the theme was approached and developed. The neo nazi ideology was certainly one of the main themes but the director and the writers weren't too judgmental and they let the characters shine regardless of the reasons that brought them to be a part of such a violent and racist community. I certainly advice to watch it, cause it gives a good depiction of a "different" homosexual relationship not framable in the usual stereotypes of gay love. Good job!

smsandersen1974 The strength of this movie definitely lies with the brilliant actors in it and the director's ability to let them shine.I didn't expect the story and the plot to be perfect and it wasn't. The main character Lars' decision to get involved with the Nazi community is a tiny bit contrived but no more than you would expect when it is told with a few short scenes before the movie is allowed to focus on the human aspects of the story and dwell on the consequences of the character's action without being judgmental or painting any of the characters solely in black or white. Something that is rather a bit of an achievement with this particular subject matter. Enough good cannot be said of the amazingly honest and heart-wrenching performances of the two lead actors. They are both incredibly talented and the director obviously appreciated this. The result is a chilling but also a very intimate and at times tender film. Well worth seeing.
