Cross Your Fingers!


Now it's official that "Adams Æbler" is the Danish Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film 2006, so we all need to cross our fingers and hope this masterpiece will reach out to an international audience! It most certainly derseves it...

It wasn't exactly a masterpiece, it was really rubbish.

It appears you like the word "rubbish".

reply

It certainly does.

I think it was alright, and I really don't care it if gets an acadamy award.

However it is not one of my top 10 Danish movies...

i really only say rubbish when movies are rubbish.
what other kind of movie do you think are 'great' ? other movies where they make fun of physical handicapped ?
in my opinion, this movie is just another attempt to make a movie like Flickering Lights, it just doesn't make sense, and it's always the same actors which just makes it even more boring than it already is.

Best film of 2005 I've seen this far and I've seen quite a bunch already. Certainly deserves an Oscar, but I doubt it'll be nominated. It's not Oscar material - it's better.
Don't like the film? Try not to view it as a comedy (whether dark/tragic/etc.), but look for its merits in allegorical profundity. This film is extremely multifaceted - I found new points of views as it went on. The garden concept (obvious, though somewhat obscured - perhaps even reversed), Job, the Christ-Jew aspect (nazis, forgiveness, redemption?) and so on. Symbols are plenty, but they seem to have meaning as well. Definately have to see this one again.

It didn't get nominated. You could have expected that.
