The Ending


I would like to see the film, but can anyone tell me the ending first? I want to be sure I can take it. Is it very bloody?

reply

It's rather dark, although perhaps not as dark as you would expect.

It's well worth seeing - acting is super.

Welcome to Costco, I love you...

It's not shockingly gory or bloody aside from some fight/beating scenes. The most disturbing thing about the film is the extremely sinister subject matter.

Usually I'm pretty turned off by gratuitous violence and shy away from those types of films, and this wasn't hard to watch at all. I definitely recommend seeing this if you haven't already.

Agreed. I was skeptical going in, thinking it would be a less than enjoyable movie, but the leads really pulled it off. Completely worth watching.

I thought the film was quite violent and bloody, but then I don't see Hollywood mainstream films, which, I understand, are filled with violence and gore. Perhaps if you're used to seeing those films, you won't find this film violent. But I did. I did not react very well to the initial beating of a gay man. It was disgusting, and I almost stopped watching the film at that point. And near the end, Jimmy has to beat up Lars to save them both--that was what Fatty told him. "Either you beat him up, or it's the end for both of you." This whole film reeked of Nazism--the violence, the betrayals, sudden death-- which is obvious since this was a neo-Nazi group. The film is distrubing, violent, and almost made me ill. The only theme I could see in the film is that violence begets violence; you reap what you sow. The characters were ugly--shaved heads, tattoos, ragged clothing. Lars is the only halfway sympathetic character. The rest are bigoted, homophobic, racist rats. A sense of foreboding hung over the entire action of the film. When was the boom going to drop on Jimmy and Lars? This film is in the dour, depressing tradition of Danish (Carl-Theodor Dreyer), Swedish (Bergman), German films.

Yes, it's a disturbing film because most of the time, you're supposed to feel sympathy for the two main homosexual characters who are agressed by society or their environment and who can't live their lifestyle in total freedom. In "Broderskab", the two gays are also facist and violent men who attack foreigners, have hateful meatings and praise Hitler. So sometimes you're touched by their love story and yet you can't forget the fact that they're members of an extremist party who beat up gay men.
