"Bare glem det Torkild, der er noget galt med det æg der." "Prøv at se, det ser da helt mærkeligt ud, skallen også. Du kunne sagtens have pustet det æg der Torkild." "Selvfølgelig kunne du det mand. Det er en syg høne der har lagt det æg der."
A non-danish dude who ACTUALLY gets it, respect! I watched this movie with my ex gf from China...she didnt get it, she didnt get most of the film sadly...:D
This scene is always brought out as a highlight of the film when talking about the funniest bits, but to me it's also important in that it shows the very special/odd way these scummy people are there for each other when one or more of them is faced with failure, even on the smallest scale. The looks they give each other suggests that every one of the guys see this coming, while she's completely ignorant of the tension that's building within Torkild, showcasing her inability to understand them.
Sorryk, but have to clarify; this scene is about two things; partly about how disconnected these guys are from what they were (children raised within "accepted" or "correct" society each one of them) and how much they actually fear their leader! Throughout the film, the leader of the movie has seemed like the most reasonable (in society terms) of all the group. And is seems slightly strange that this seemingly "normal" man could rule so completely over the group. In this moment it is clearly shown that all of the other guys utterly fear this man, and exactly why it is the case. it is a beautiful example of how male friendship works in practice, turned extreme :-)
It isn't the failure of being confronted with, as you said their own "scummy failures". It is specifically his rage they fear. In this scene it is shown, for the first time, that he is definately the most violent, angry, and volatile member of the group. And that is one of the biggest and most beautiful revelations of this perfect movie :-)
These guys are not scummy by choise, they just became that way thru their upbringing, but they are there for each other when it counts…. I love the way every caracter evolves as the movie progresses
Well, this movie is a piece of danish culture. Actually it's one of the first movies i would recommend watching, if you were looking for stuff about Denmark. This scene is about Danish humor and the great things about it. People in Denmark are not so delicate when it comes to humor which is awesome because it enables us to make fun of everything and say what ever the fuck we want (you can say fuck on Danish television if you like). I guess it's something you'll just never understand :)
"the fact that he was obviously a villain to begin with" What are you talking about? Torkild is not a "a villain" in the film - though not a hero either. He's a typical anti-hero. As MichaelHagen1973 pointed out, it's not about a shady villain punching a poor innocent woman, but rather an inarticulate anti-hero being pushed over the brink by an annoying seemingly nice, but very controlling, though well-intended "kindergarten teacher" type. I think the "political incorrectness" adds to the humour
....your comment implies that she deserved to be hit because she provoked it... I would like to point out that while she was tone deaf in this scene, it isn’t sufficient cause for violence. A bad childhood doesn’t excuse bad behavior.
@@owayasomething9295 How does my comment “imply that she deserved to be hit” and where did I write anything about “a bad childhood excusing bad behaviour”?
Se, når dine venner giver skylden på hønen i stedet for manden der pustede. Thi der ved du, at du har ægte venner :D For our english friends, "when your friends blame the chicken who laid the egg instead of you. thou knowst that you have true friends" :D
Der er også et element af søgen efter normalitet. Flokken af afstumpede kriminelle har dybest set et ønske om at være normale mennesker. Så de begynder også at se Matador (og læse bøger, hvis jeg husker rigtigt). Se filmen og se Adams Æbler. De er ikke bare hylende morsomme, de er også tankevækkende.
Im not totally sure what you mean, but I take it that sice you find Torkild unappealing it wasnt so fun, and that his crew was just backpadding psychofants? This is not the case, the woman is an extremly anoying and controlling bitch who cares of nobody but her own agenda in this movie. This situation is just the climax to what everybody was waiting for. But I know that in amarican cinema for some reason its acceptable for women to hit men in all kinds of situations, not opposite, I dont get it?
Forbidden you say? So I guess that you never watched an "American Movie" like The Wicker Man? Btw. the scene in that movie shows that there is more than one kind of violence to make peoples brains tick a bit over it, not to promote physical violence. Not sure if you can find the complete film with proper translation, if you can, watch it, cause then it all makes some sense and you might even discover how deep the movie really is. ;)
Hej Jesper, would help if the original comment which I commented on wasn't gone. Psychological realism isn't the same as psychoanalytic writing or surrealism btw. look it up. I can agree on that it could dig even deeper, but that would make the movie less of an action comedy. But yes, even in real life some would probably have punched Hanne (Sofie) for continuing as she did.
(This comment refers to an old conversation, 3 years ago) I'm not American and I don't see that chaosm. statement should provoke such strong and angry comments. I don't even think it's in the Danish Grundlov that beating women is funny - and I'm happy for that. Maybe if you think otherwise y o u should move from Denmark. (Apart from that, maybe it is funny in the film, it's just a film, and she was annoying. But in reality they should have stopped her in another way. What I don't like here is this apparent immense sympathy with this aggression. Btw. I haven't seen the film yet.)
Maybe you should watch the film because you utter your opinion then. It's a funny scene, and she's annoying as fuck, and of course it doesn't justice punching women, but fuck it, it's a funny scene!
It is because they are all very hardcore criminals and they are trying to keep it a secret. This woman is completely oblivious to the situation and she just keeps on pushin even though everyone is doing everything in their power to signal her through body language that she should just drop it. In the movie it is one of those moments that just climaxes how fucking hillarious ignorance can be. You clearly havent seen the movie if you think this has anything to do with the fact that she is a woman.
+666flour Sorry, I didn't make clear I wanted to reply to another comment 3 years ago. I think like this nobody understands why I wrote this. It was Asker Blond whom I found insulting. Never mind - have a nice day! (Plus I just had been beaten on the nose a couple of days before and I didn't enjoy it, but I know that's purely personal ;))
I hate people that can't find the funny in things that irl isn't. it's a movie after all. with great Actors. Danish humor isn't for everyone i get it. but this was not a bad scene, in comparison to other scenes in the movie, were mads mikkelsen shoots cows with his desert eagle gun ^^ or they shot after a squirell.. stop being a cancel culture little kid that only wants things to be political correct all the time.
Well that was rather shocking even to me, since that sort of thing is forbidden in American cinema. I think what ruined it for me was the fact that he was obviously a villain to begin with... so it was less of a revenge fantasy yay moment...and more of a douchebag guy is a douchebag moment. That made it not really funny for me. I'm more offended by their attitude and the fact nobody mentioned it after... Anyways, it was still nice to see an annoying blabbermouth get silenced for once tho.
