Fjellet / The Mountain

Something is happening in Norwegian film. Hurray Hurray!
There's a new sheriff in town and he almost spent all his money making this movie.


Here's a sneak peek at Ole Giæver's Fjellet (The Mountain)



With: Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Marte Magnusdotter Solem


Here's a little google translation of the plot from filmweb.no.
Nora and Solveig are back in the mountains where they had a traumatic experience two years ago. Instead of sharing and being present in the pain along with Solveig, Nora has shut herself up and is keeping Solveig at a distance. Solveig has therefore taken the initiative for this trip, so they can get to the bottom of what happened so they can face the future together.


The mountain is a film about grief and reconciliation, which we eventually get up close to the two women and reveal deep wounds, shame and despair. There is also a movie about hope and how far people are willing to go for each other. About the games to meet together and what you have to fight alone.


What’s said:
0:26 I feel like it don’t know you anymore
0:34 What is it you want us to do here?
0:40 We probably both had panic, but managed to stay totally calm and just ... sing for him in harmony.
0:59 If you don’t come up on that mountain with me, we can’t be together anymore
1:17 You shall not be alone
1:25 Can I ask you a question
1:31 Do you remember Vetle, our son?

After I wrote this post a new clip was posted on youtube. Here's THE MOUNTAIN with it's acctual subtitles!

I'm looking forward to it!

THE Christmas song

And so it's Christamas. The gifts have been wrapped (girlfriend), the house is clean as ever (me and girlfriend), the plastic fantastic tree is decorated (girlfriend), Sheryl Crow is playing x-mas tunes on the stereo (me). And before I say happy holidays I'll share my all.time favorite Christmas carol. 
O helga natt (O Holy Night) performed by Jussi Björling



God jul! aka Merry Christmas

What would Bette Porter do? Part III

Bette Porter was told to write a paper on Security Politics.

She wrote 250 pages about how Jenny Schecter is a threat to the entire neighborhood, the city of Los Angeles and all lesbians on planet earth.

It Gets Better...

I don't know if you've heard of the Trevor Project. Well, you should . "The Trevor Project is determined to end suicide among LGBTQ youth by providing life-saving and life-affirming resources including our nationwide, 24/7 crisis intervention lifeline, digital community and advocacy/educational programs that create a safe, supportive and positive environment for everyone."


And as a result of the Trevor Project there is also the It Gets Better Project. Alot of heart warming videos have surfaced the web. Even President Barack Obama has his own It Gets Better video.





But my favorite so far is this one from the fantastic crew at Pixar.





And it does get better! It's a scary place to be. And coming out to your parents and family is seldom easy. And yes they might have trouble accepting it in the beginning, or maybe at all. But your family isn’t your entire world. There are people out there who've been there, and gotten through it. And I'm sure a lot of us wouldn't be the same today without that experience. It makes us what and who we are. And I'm sure we're more able to deal with everyday life because of it. Hang in there!
