Judging by the others on this forum I'd say the German reaction is exactly the same as everywhere else.

That musical looks so cool, I would have loved to have seen it! Why, oh why, did I discover this film so late!?

Hi triddy!

Well, in this context I feel a bit like a hick who discovered a technology twelve years after its invention. But I think there are still many potential admirers who haven’t found the film so far.

Comparing the German and the Swedish version I have to confess that I’m keenly impressed by the Swedish language. Although the badly synchronised German version was not capable of ruining my first FA-experience the original version gives me the chills. For instance the word “snalla” (probably spelled wrong) which sounds so delightful when expressed by Elin.

One of the interesting things with this film and forum is that, since it's not a new film, there aren't exactly masses of people who come on here. But now and then someone new drops by, someone who accedentially came across the film and needs somewhere to pour out their feelings about it. Like you, and like me a few months ago. And since that has been going on for twelve years, I don't think it's going to stop really soon

and that awesome thing is what we call the FÅ-effect *:)*

And yes, Elin's voice is something I could listen to all day

as a Swede, I find it interesting to hear how other people get touched by the Swedish language when they watch the film. But then again, I suspect it simply is the girls' real voices, and not the language in particular, that put a spell on people.

I do like the way the language sounds, though. It's very cute.

Well, coming from them, anyway.... :oops:

I think that's one of the main reasons in favour of sub-titles over dubbing. You get a closeness to the actors invloved, get to hear their own voices, their tone, feel what they're feeling, things that are missing in dubbed versions.

Even better is that after a mere ten or twenty times seeing the film you don't even need the sub-titles to know what they're saying and you can concentrate of their faces and actions. In the case of this little film that's worth its weight in gold.

Have you noticed too, that when you remember back, you don't remember the dialogue in susbtitles - you just remember Agnes & Elin saying the words.

Or maybe that's just me. :wink:

That wasn't under dispute, just that there might be more people showing the reaction hereabouts... not different, but more, you see? Like so:

Bratwurst!

Definitely not just you.

Couldn't have put it better myself. :lol:

More would be nice but quality over quantity is nice too.

Just wanted to give everyone a reminder. Tomorrow 27th April (or today if you're in Australia and just woken up

) is the anniversary of Agnes' birthday. Where the film starts. I wanted to say something clever, then remembered that I'm not

I guess this is just a dedication to all those boys and girls who are 16 years old on 27th April, and the day after that etc etc. Waking up knowing it's probably meant to be significant but not perhaps really feeling any different. Being partially excited and partly terrified at the prospect. Being partly bored with the whole thing. Not fully knowing who you really are yet nor who you are going to become. At least let's hope as many as possible get to see SML/FA sometime soon. It will help reinforce those who need encouragement against parental, family, peer, and institutional pressure. Let's hope they feel able to strike out in directions that defy other people's notions of convention.

Happy birthday Dear Agnes. May she live for a hundred years!
