@@milatijamiah8211 - Maybe some Swedish people suffer from Meloncholia. Greta Garbo was also very beautiful and suffered from something. Even the members of ABBA were troubled. Maybe it is the lack of sunlight or their culture or something. That said, this does seem pretty exploitative of a child.
@@NetTubeUser They literally told him to take his shirt off. Grown men were examining his body as if he was an adult, making creepy comments and treating him like a sexual object. You might not think so, but that’s horrible and damaging.
_"the way these adults treated this child is unforgivable"_ yes, yes ... we can see that he suffers a lot! OMG! Yes, yes. True, true. These adults are HORRIBLE! They just ask him nicely to do a photo session to be in a movie and be shirtless, just like normal kids on the beach ... it's HORRIBLE!! OMG!!! ... someone calls the police!
@@NaomiVirshbo Devorah, seriously ... are you for real? Why your brain focuses its attention on sexual things only when there is nothing sexual?! I find this really bizarre and suspicious if you ask me, Devorah. Do you have some kind of sexual frustrations or what? Are you neurotic? Do even think about what you type, sometimes? Do you even realize that this is a photo session, and these people are making a movie that take place in a Hotel ... close to a BEACH? I'm pretty sure you don't because you don't know this movie and never watch it. And guess what (I'm gonna shock you!!!) ... kids since the 50s are wearing swimming trunks, and are shirtless on the beach, even with adults!! I know, it's choking, right?! And guess what? This teenager is not even nude or shirtless in this movie, he's wearing a swimsuit that covers his entire body, except his legs and arms because this movie took place in the 20s! So, please, come on Devorah! Why are you so prude like that? Are you a nun living in a monastery for the rest of your life, Devorah? And if you think about sexual things only, when there is absolutely NOTHING sexual, you really need to see a psychologist, Devorah ...
Even people who are exceptionally good looking can be incredibly insecure. Society has a way at nitpicking at every perceivable flaw and make that person very self conscious about it. People who are jealous of another person’s beauty are very keen on doing this. Body dysmorphic disorder is a real thing and it can be very painful. That’s why beautiful people get cosmetic surgery they didn’t need because they think they’re hideous.💔
I remember reading an article in Time years ago about some international study they'd done on what constitutes male beauty from the female perspective. The one common element that came up was feminine traits. If you look at the classic men from old Hollywood in particular, they had strong feminine features. This guy is a great example. Almost feminine in appearance.
People didn’t care about this boy in that time, they saw him as an object to satisfy someone’s desires. Poor Bjorn, he probably wished to live in a different time where sane people can see his suffering and protect him from disgusting people.
Obviously not, you are just making up a story from your understanding of present world. But I believe back then it was exciting and thrilling to do something like this.
He must’ve been really disturbed if he ever saw his audition tape (when he got older) and angry at the authority figures who let him be objectified like that.
Bjorn was a musician & an actor throughout his adult life. Though those were of supporting roles. 1 or 2 film projects a year. He got married & had 2 children. But his youngest child died when still a Baby for unknown reasons. That made him further spiral to deep Depression. He lost his mother when he was young. Yes he was surrounded by adults but NONE cared guided him as a parent would. Even a concerned friend he doesn't have. The friends he had made him into alcoholic & smoker! He got divorced from his wife but she's still involved cares for him. He's not homeless. He's just battling Depression substance abuse (which he's over years ago) And I envy him because he didn't turn Fat!
He said that the director who was gay and all the other gay studio people would force him to go to gay clubs where he was constantly eyed and fondled and he couldn't speak out against it because of the power imbalance. He was only 14.
Reminder: *to all the boys out there, you don’t have to look like him, you don’t have to look beautiful or handsome. Good people will like you for who you are.*
*Good* people will like you for *who you are?* What are you on about? On a side note, I went to high school with both a bird and a bloke who looked similar like the boy in this video. Interestingly enough, they were neither related nor were their looks considered as anything special.
It’s sickening that there are people stupid enough to think parents have the right to do whatever they want to their children. Children are not the property of their parents. Children as minors are individuals who have rights. Tragically, the law is behind on recognizing these rights so children are not protected from parents with ulterior motives.
Whoever allowed him to be gawked at like that, failed him. I've seen this in waaay too many old school movies. The exploitation of kids just never stopped.
when I opened this I knew it was going to be uncomfortable, but I was doing a sincere research so I thought I’d bear with it and just watch. I have _never_ felt more disturbed, disgusted, troubled. scared. I can only imagine what else this poor child went through if _this_ was the ‘audition’ alone. aaa giving up on learning more, gonna value my mental health this time.
Yeah I agree very creepy vibes here, I don't know if it's just me but he looks uncomfortable here, the director even took him to gay nightclubs when he was only 14/15, and he said he felt very uncomfortable cause everyone there looked at him as if he was a "nice meaty dish", his own words, honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually sexually abused by the director himself or anyone at that time but just never could/had the courage to say anything..
It's a famous film. Based on an actual event. The boy Bjorn is playing was nicknamed "Adzio" which is short for Władysław Moes who came forward to proclaim the story was based on him after it became famously published and turned into plays. The composer became ill, suffered loss of a child, had questionable notions of what the role of art and music was to find that the love he felt for the boy was enough to kill him or rather he was willing to die to be in the company of.
I absolutely hated Death in Venice. I saw it in my 20's and thought it was maudlin, ominous, and sickening. On some unconscious level, I could feel the ugliness surrounding this boy. Now, as a mother of a beautiful son, I realize why I felt that way. I was watching child abuse.
@@Phoebus_Apollo child abuse, is child abuse? You sound scarey af.. what are you implying exactly by outwardly saying that so casually? Seriously? She’s expressing her growth from motherly instincts? You sir/ma’am are being disrespectful, discriminative and very arrogant. 😒 and if your a girl... How dare you tear down another woman on her own journey! stay in your mf lane!!
It's unsettling because it's actually from a documentary (I think) that talks about how Bjorn was so sexualize at a very young age because of his beauty..
@@mrsblue3011 I think that this goes far beyond sexualization, at least in the case of Visconti and Death In Venice. When you watch the film and read the book you can understand thinks like this. In the case of the movie, the main character falls in love with a teenager but not in a sexual way, it is something deeper and sadder. The movie needed a beautiful boy and they are not sexualizing him, to be in swimwear does to mean be sexualized. All castings are like that and do not necessarily mean a dark thing, in the movie you can see him in underwear in the beach and the movie just required a good looking boy. And I know it is dark and weird but I think that footages like this one, connect with the darkest part of our brain that will add it a double sense to something that is not necessarily obscure.
What a beauty. In my opinion, this was created to send a message that pretty or not, you'll be used and get abused. I hope he gets the love and support to rise up from any dark shadow hovered during his teenage years. And I hope that in is current status, someone from their government like social workers, lawyers to hear his story and find justice.
I saw a boy like that in a cinema once. Golden hair, lily white skin, face of an angel. He couldn't have been more than 15. His dark eyes were filled with an immense implacable rage. He was with his little sister; a cheerful girl of about 6 or 7 in a fluffy party dress. He stalked beside her like a mother lion. She bounced up to me and said she liked my hair (I think it was purple at the time) and I told her I liked her dress, but she was already off in her own little world and didn't respond. I said it again in case she just didn't hear me but before the words could leave my mouth the beauty stepped towards me and spoke for her. 'Thank you' he snapped in a sub-zero tone accompanied by the steely gaze of a panther about to strike. I shrunk back and shuffled off to see my movie. I often think of him. I've never seen someone so beautiful or so angry. His gaze at 0:41 reminds me of him. I wonder if it's very painful to be that beautiful.
@@imjorkingmypeanits I didn't fancy the kid. I was just struck by how objectively pretty and striking he was. Like how people cry when they see the Mona Lisa up close. Appreciation of beauty is not the same as lust or attraction, though the societal narrative does suggest that any attraction or connection people have are merely stops on the road to sex. Mostly I felt sad for him. I could sense his frustration. But I don't know if anything I could have said to him would have helped. I didn't know him or what his deal was. He could have been a real dickhead. Or he could have been a perfectly well-adjusted kid in a bad mood and I'm projecting a tragic beauty narrative onto him because I like to pretend my life is a Gothic Romance novel. I feel like such a wanker writing all this. We do tend to assume that pretty people are gods and goddesses who are somehow above us; that of course they're byronic heroes or Angels walking among us. If they weren't they'd just look like regular people, wouldn't they? But putting people on a pedestal is just another way of dehumanizing them. He wasn't a character in a sonnet who symbolizes the pitfalls of beauty and desire. He wasn't the Mona Lisa: and object hanging in a museum. He was just some kid. He was real. Oh shit: that's how Bjorn Andreson felt! Did I just have an epiphany in a youtube comment section? Jesus...
@@CaladonianQueen Dude the way you write is fuckin fantastic. Feels like I’m reading a story or poem. I’ve never felt this much emotion from a comment before.
His face is like an Angel that has been portrayed in art. edited: Sorry if I used the wrong term, I changed it now. I know what you guys pointing about the Biblical Angel accuracy, I’ve seen some images about that too, very far from him. I’m also aware of how controversial this clip and how it deeply affects Björn.
@@mikhailulibasasiahaan3201 Lucifer was once an angel too, and his beauty is exactly how they portrayed the faces of angels from the Bible story. he was like a painting, Björn is just overwhelmingly beautiful.
I know I'm late but I still can't believe that this man is the sole reason why Japanese Manga artists invented the "Bishounen" art style in the early days. I keep on seeing him as that masked villain in the Gundam franchise. I hope he didn't hate how Japan used him as a model for basically all the male lead in those shoujo mangas.
The image of him is immortalized in a way, but the personafication of a Bishonen has been far more diverse since the 80s, I mean even Naruto is considered a Bishonen, Kishimoto only added the whiskers cause some thinks he looks too pretty Either way, weirdly enough he had a singing career in Japan, so that's something, he also acted in Midsommar movie as Dan
@@jinri_p1042 Referencing for art style is fine. Almost anyone references their artstyle from a particular source. People nowadays pull up an image from google and start drawing away. What was wrong was that he himself got sexualized by these people in the past (as told by the users here in the comments), especially in the actual photos.
Björn said that he was happy when he started to look uglier with age because then older men stopped approaching him. The director of this movie took him to gay bars when he was still a teen...
Oh, yes, you're right. Let's pray GOD together! VADE RETRO SATANA! Kssss, kssss!!! Evil people doing a photo session with a teenager to be in a movie! IT'S HORRIBLE! ...
Blech! In the doc Bjorn mentions his grandma was there right there pushing him thru this. How in the world could you subject any child least of all one in your damn care to this ogling? 🙁🙁
Hi, All, the Fish Jelly Film Reviews channel did a review of the doc which included clips from the doc. In one of the clips, Bjorn speaks of his gran's eager involvement. I don't know if the doc itself has been released to theatres/streaming just yet.
"Death in Venice" When I saw the movie on TV recently, it seemed so disgusting, I didn't know what it was about, but when I saw Mr. Dirk Bogarde and the name of the movie: Death in Venice in the cast, "I thought Wow, the movie was about horror and mystery, I thought it was good. Well, the movie is actually horror. I am a 27-year-old with a 9-year-old son, I have a modern outlook on life and I would never allow my son to go through something so disgusting and embarrassing, and leave sequelae for just a few dollars. That movie has neither head nor tail. The plot was only about a mature man platonically in love with a teenager. Poor kid, they ruined his life with that movie. Already being an adult man, Björn Andrésen said in an interview that he did not know what the film was about, that he was never informed about the script. Only director Luchino Visconti made him walk, make suggestive poses and that kind of thing, and when he saw the whole movie on screen he was horrified because he who was in the movie was not him. The "great" directors have always abused actors and more when they are children or beginning actors, and parents allow it only for the money they are going to pay them. How much Björn Andrésen in that interview that after the premiere of the film he couldn't go somewhere without pedophiles leaving him alone. The Spanish singer Miguel Bosé, then a teenager, was a candidate for that role, but his father, the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín, objected when he read part of the script. Something similar happened to the actress Maria Schneider in the film "The Last Tango in Paris" by Bernardo Bertolucci, with the scene of the rape and the "butter" that Richard Burton uses as a lubricant. How did she know that that scene was not in the script, that neither Mr. Bertolucci nor Mr. Burton told her about that scene. Poor Maria Schneider was traumatized by that abuse for life. Notice that the poor boy does not look comfortable at that casting.
Sorry but it's not Richard Burton who played in Last tango in Paris ! Marlon Brando is the man who dominate Maria Schneider ! This uncredible scene was only directed by Marlon Brando ...
@@patriciavicherat7397 OMG! If it's true, excuse my clumsiness, you're absolutely right, it was Marlon Brandon and not Richard Burton who played Paul, the American expatriate and hotel owner in the movie "The Last Tango in Paris". I don't know what he was in thinking when I wrote the comment. I've seen the movie many times and I forgot about Marlon Brandon. I am one of the cinephiles who stays until the end to read the credits on the screen. Although I did not live through the time, I must admit that my favorite films are those of the 50s, 60s and 70s. And my favorite actors are Marlon Brandon, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Sean Conery, Michael Caine, Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Al Paccino, Charles Bronson, Alec Guinnes, Peter O'Toole, Steve McQueen, Gregory Peck, James Steward, Jack Lemmon, Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Jack Palance, Kirk Douglas, Dirk Bogarde, etc. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD CONFUSE MARLON BRANDON WITH RICHARD BURTON?
@@patriciavicherat7397 Thank you for making that correction. I am quite sure that Richard Burton would have refused to do what Brando did. In fact I think he'd have been disgusted by the very idea.
@Nina Bloom I really do not know. What I do know and that because I read in an interview that years later they did with María Schneider about the film and about that particular scene, she who said that the rape scene was not in the original script, that that scene was conceived by Brandon and Bertolucci on the same day of the recording, but that they did not say anything to her to achieve that face of terror, fear and that surprise that was achieved on the scene. After the scene they, Marlon and Bertolucci apologized. In the same interview, he was asked, And why didn't you stop the scene? And she replied: "Although I was a beginner, I wanted to show that I was a professional, a real actress and if the director did not stop the scene, I was not going to stop it. But that scene marked me for life"
This reminds me of the film lolita, the book is so sad and sickening, the movie..m is a whole new level of sickening, this video got me really disturbed
He is beautiful, as a self-taught portrait sculptor myself, I have an urge to recreate his face the first time I saw him. But I feel bad for what happen to him. I have read that he was also forced to actually go to a gay bar for that movie.
@@caroltan8257 From your previous post it is assumed that he was forced to frequent gay bars during the shooting of "Death in Venice". Where is the evidence? I remind you that he was a MINOR at the time. Give us the specific evidence relating to "Death in Venice". One person's interviews is not enough to prove anything. The counterparts should also be heard. Making accusations is very easy. But whoever reads them must have a critical spirit. I believe, but I'm not sure, that Bjorn has been in other films. Anyway, I'm sure none of them were of the "Death in Venice" level. And so the crew...
@@silvanodelazzari8522 Ok, I got lost from where I did learned that event ( I guess it's from some interview in yt ) but because you're asking here's an excerpt from wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Venice_(film) In 2003, Björn Andrésen gave an interview to The Guardian in which he expressed his dislike of the fame Death in Venice brought him and how he sought to distance himself from the objectifying image he acquired from playing Tadzio.[2] He stated that he now disapproves of the film's subject matter: "Adult love for adolescents is something that I am against in principle. Emotionally perhaps, and intellectually, I am disturbed by it - because I have some insight into what this kind of love is about." He also recounted attending the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival: "I was just 16 and Visconti and the team took me to a gay nightclub. Almost all the crew were gay. The waiters at the club made me feel very uncomfortable. They looked at me uncompromisingly as if I was a nice meaty dish...it was the first of many such encounters."
@@caroltan8257 I have already dealt with the topic interview with another person I don't remember if under this or another video. In short, I believe that the interview released more than thirty years after the release of the film is not very credible. Did it take Bjorn thirty years to say what he said in the interview? A rather long time I would say. In any case, in the interview he accuses people who can no longer defend themselves because they are DEAD. And what he said in the interview should be cross-checked. But it was not possible as I have said above. Then I note that poor Bjorn has played the part of Tadzio but has never read the book and therefore speaks out of all proportion of adults and children. He must read the book, and then talk, if he comes to understand the meaning of Death in Venice.
This clip reminds me of brooke shields when she was young... They were both used for their looks at such a young age. Absolutely disgusting and upsetting, they were children/early teens and deserved to have a normal, healthy childhood
You're definitely right! I think that every photo, every videos that exist about children, and teenagers should be completely removed from history! And children, and teenagers should wear a dark robe just like in Islam, because they are cute and beautiful, they are a threat to humanity! ... I mean, come on now, you really exagerate! It's just incredible!

I love how people/girls are talking about him being objectified (which is a bad thing), but he looks like the European version of KPOP stars, or even famous LA celebrities like Shawn Mendes, and the exact same girls objectify these people.
I feel uncomfortable like ok he has a pretty face but what hes being put into is scary i had to hide in the comments when the man asked for his profile pictures
He looks very Swedish...many people in Sweden look like him. Many people have nice symmetrical faces. I think they were obsessed with the Scandinavian look.
He beautiful indeed, but Idk why I can't admire his beauty, I just want to protect him from that uncomfortable situation. This is really creep me up....how disturbing.
I watched Death in Venice back in the early 80's. I was in emotional turmoil over an unrequited love interest. By some coincidence this movie was being shown on the BBC one evening and thought I'd bury my sorrows and divert my aching heart into something with bones on it. I'm still in awe of it. The emotional weight of this movie somehow mirrored my own and how the composer fixated on this classical almost fantastically beautiful being..out of his reach. A truly tragic but beautifully realised adapted movie.
Very sad movie with the over the top sentiments of the Victorian era. A very perceptive recreation that was taken entirely the wrong way by audiences at the time, and unfortunately mud sticks - to the unfortunate young lad too.
Many people take this audition out of context, the director was looking for the character called Tadzio, a beautiful teenager described like this in the book that inspires the film, a casting was made throughout Europe looking for boys with the physical characteristics of Tadzio, and then the character was fully physical since he did not interact with the protagonist, it was an ideal of pure and perfect beauty, in that sense it was necessary that he look like the character, in fact the actor is a little older than tadzio but the director seeing that he was so beautiful and similar to the description of tadzio, because he chose it.
Yeah but no one talks about the fact the director and the crew forced him to go to gay nightclubs when he was only 15, he even said he felt very uncomfortable
@@daniellevitoriaa840 What do you mean? All the detractors bring the gay bar incident up. However, their facts are often inaccurate. He was 16, it wasn't during the filming, it was during the Cannes film festival. Björn wasn't "forced" to go; he went along reluctantly, apparently. I'm not saying that it was right or wrong; I'm just trying to keep the record straight. If he was uncomfortable about it at the time, he wasn't uncomfortable (apparently) a few years later in Paris, where he was the "guest" or mascot of rich gay men. This is mentioned somewhat evasively in the documentary. There is a YT video on it ("Paris Period"). Again, I'm not making a moral judgment about it.
it's a lot deeper than you think. no matter how you look at it, they asked a child to undress...and they then recorded said child. stop trying to justify this.
That is not original, it is Juno Films' edit, you are being musically manipulated by a horror stinger with clever cuts to try and make it creepy or something. This movie was very important for the bishounen anime genre, Björn wasn't ''ucomfortable'' at all and the movie is quite interesting, based on a book exploring youth and family troubles.
@@Skyrilla Björn himself said he was uncomfortable and that he thought the letters he received in Japan were because people liked him, then he realized It was because they saw him as a trophy.

@@normadesmond6017 Yeah, I did. Shocking and so disappointing. He had the world, and all of a sudden Armie Hammer is like a gut-shot animal. But that`s because of his personal life and has nothing to do with this beloved movie.
Death in Venice! I've seen this movie. Director was maestro Luchino Visconti. Great movie from the same title book by Thomas Mann. Name of this young man is Bijorn Andresen, is a well known swedish actor, today he's more then 60 years old.
The facial expression he made at the last second had the similarity with the "the fallen angel" painting which basically lucifer who was described in the bible as the most beautiful beauty that could ever exist. Not only that but while i was looking at thumbnail videos while this video was playing at the last second as ive said, the "the fallen angel" lucifer painting thumbnail popped out like it was the biggest coincidence.
Just found a video of the audition to anyone who may be curious ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eMDG5kEQ-gM.html absolutely disgusting poor boy 😥😥
All of you posters commenting on how horrible this is just don't get it! He was auditioning for the film, A Death In Venice. If you're not aware of that film, read the book! We are all sexualizing each other on a daily basis. If you don't get that, then you don't really get much at all when it comes to relationships. The mere fact that one chooses one person over another to be attracted to is, in and of itself, the 'sexualization' of another. Argue that all you want, but that's all you'll be doing - arguing! There's absolutely nothing wrong with being attracted to beauty. By the way, he was totally aware of what the movie was going to be about and what was going to be required of him. He didn't have to audition for the part.
Why do humans can't see something pretty without making it ugly? Why do humans see delicate and precious things, and yet, is not enough to them? Destroying the image of the pretty to recreate and enjoy it as they please, why?
Beauty is so fleeting. This is just one moment of his life where his looks are unparalleled but you can't say that he was the "most beautiful" in all the years of his boyhood. Directors and and editors need to steer away from those sorts of words. Plus, children shouldn't be worshipped or compared to for their looks.These so-called artistic people are so toxic.
He was definitely a beautiful boy. But, I was sitting here thinking that if you weren't very familiar with humans you would not be able to tell the difference between him and most other boys his age. My point being that beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder and is based on the tiniest of features...perhaps we are all beautiful when eyes take their time to really look.
Poor dear, he did mention that he felt very uncomfortable while the Luchino the creep sat there objectifying each and every part of his body. Dude even forced the boy to accompany him to a gay club where he received lots of unwanted attention and subjected him to things even worse than that. Currently, he lives in squalor, reduced to a skinny, homeless old man.
