| Plot, Music and Review |
PLOT :
Two teenage girls in small-town Sweden. Elin is beautiful, popular, and bored with life. Agnes is friendless, sad, and secretly in love with Elin.
MUSIC :
Great music synchronized with the movie.
REVIEW :
Great movie. The acting was very realisitc and the performance of the two main charachters was really great. The movie is great in the way that is not an usual love story. It is more than just attaction, it is about emotions and being oneself. It is also about fighting for what you believe in and not let others takes you down.
The movie shows also how when you are at the bottom of the social ladder one can attack the other one in a desperate hope to go higher. This movie was admirable becauce it was a "universal" movie. It did not matter that the two girl were lesbians, it showed love as universal as it could be. The spectator can feel love even though he/she is not gay.
STORY AND END :
Fucking Amal is a movie about experiencing being in love for the first time,only it's a movie with a bit of a difference-as the love story is between two girls. The painfully shy Agnes(Rebecka Liljeberg)has been living in her town for over a year and is still without friends. The rumuors of her being a lesbian are actually true and she happens to be in love with the popular,cool and extremely beautiful Elin(Alexandra Dahlstrom). Elin kisses Agnes at Agnes' 16th birthdayparty as she is dared by her sister Jessica(Erica Carlson),but is shocked later to find she has feelings for Agnes. The girls share their first proper kiss yet afterwards,Elin chooses to ignore Agnes and starts sleeping with Johan(Mathias Rust),the boy who happens to be besotted with her. Agnes' pain is heartbreaking due to the rejection she is forced to endure throughout the duration of the movie but she is not the only one we find time to sympathise with. It is Elin also,who suffers throughout.Her boredom with the town-'Fucking Amal' and the boys in the town(who aren't very smart,and spend most of their time comparing cell-phones)is clearly evident and her boredom sometimes makes her joke occasionally that she is considering being a lesbian,yet it takes her sometime to realise that she actually is. Due to her popularity/reputation,it is hard for her to admit to her true feelings,but in the end she risks everything to follow her heart. |
