riget opening

[evanb0869]

Umm yeah I don't speak this shit. Anyone know where I can watch this with English subtitles since everyone seems to down Steven Kings version

[Zarkx2000]

Jag får gåshud bara av att se det här introt. Helt fantastisk serie!

[Francesko263]

It sounds like old english. Pretty spooky.

[poisynlily]

It seems cool, but I didn't find it creepy at all.

[FredUhrbrand]

scariest opening in the world.... and then the song begins :S

[eftultima]

Well wat do you know, I cant understand this, someone said i should watch this instead of kingdom hospital but they didnt say id have to study another language. people should stop bitching about show from other countries.

[ActorGuy]

Awesome opening sequence. I love the claustrophobic feel, the expressionistic elements. Love reading the sub-titles instead of dubbing in English. Makes me want to learn Danish and/or Swedish now. Love the dark feel feel and the excellent casting. Just found this last night on Netflix.

[flymurdererfly]

Some of you people exhibit a pretty vile habit; you come to a video about a great series but for some reason you can't say anything nice about it without insulting someone else (Stephen King in this case) in the process. Can't you just praise good work, are you such negative people? Don't you know that compliments mean nothing when they're coupled with insults? It's an insult to have your name used to bash someone else! I'm pretty sure Lars Von Trier wouldn't appreciate those comments.

[ACruelPicture]

One of the best openings ever!

[92af]

Riget er et mesterværk

[thebirdpeopleinchina]

awesome tv series :D

[netiaz]

Darkplace

[assi1112]

Vækker minder:D

[vanillamure]

it ended so unexpectedly. i'm so curious, i wish there was more of this series...i loved it.

[kinetic82]

They used to show this on IFC here in the States. Imagine watching this while up at 1AM due to insomnia!

And I'm happy to say that it was subtitled, not a dub.

[SOyuncastor2]

one of the best tv series I've watched since I have Internet.

And I watch a lot.

[MiNekona]

hello. is there anywhere i can watch this series? with eng. subtitles...

[Bolshevikpirayan]

its called "kingdom" or "kingdom come" in english i think

[angelalovemarcus]

sbs in Australia had the rights to it so they subtitled it as well. try and contact them.

[uropepyaka]

"rectum" is in lyrics, why you vote down?

[24CarlF]

så vackert danska kan låta... vilka skådespelare: gith nörby & ernst hugo. och von trier som gjorde tv till konst. Älskade Riket - vad har vi nu?

[Bolshevikpirayan]

ja danska är ett skönt språk,vi borde återinföra det här i södra sverige så fiskmåsarna från gnällbältet inte fattar vad vi säger,bara för att jävlas

[gorlok28]

ričet

[hkibak]

Such a classic! The "sleep lab," "forcing the Danes to their knees with plutonium," "Operation Morning Air." Too bad they translated the title into English as "The Kingdom." The correct translation would have been "The Realm."

[Zartyzzo]

@hkibak

When he is talking about the hospital then the correct term is "The Kingdom" but you are right about the "porten til riget er begyndt at åbne sig på ny." ("The gate to the realm is starting to open again.") (Because he is probably talking about hell or some kind of spiritual realm.)

[uropepyaka]

RECTUM!

[Psychopat12]

I just finished the first series. This show is so awesome! I love how it just switches from the intense supernatural mood to that theme song. And also Lars' little exit speeches after every episode.

[TheMusician44]

love last episode so much mystery best danish series EVER :D!

[VenomSpawn82]

If I won't count "Heroes", then this is my favourite TV-Show !

[Yasminna24]

I love this TV-show!..

I was born on "Riget/The Kingdom" and actually they recorded some clips for an episode the day I was born in that hospital.. xD

[KellytheBohemian]

awesome! :D

iwas born there as well, but three years before the first series..

i am there quite often, because of some problems with my jaw, and each time i am in the elevator i can't help myself from quoting the intro..

"grunden under rigshospitalet er gammel mose.." xD

if there's others in there, they allways start to laugh, but still look freaked out! :-D

[Martianfromars]

Forget King's version, this is the only Kigdom. He should stop to put his dirty hands everywhere and leave cults alone. Great job Lars.

[GoNadz69]

So basically Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital is a blantant rip off, of this!!! That sucks but I would love to watch this version it seems really cool!!!

[ThomasRedfield]

It is. Actually it's great, and Kingdom Hospital is a pile of shit.

[jaksel]

I love the opening sequence... it gives me the chills now when I see it, so many years after the series was broadcast.

[KellytheBohemian]

This is the same opening, with subtitles.. :) just for you who doesn't speak danish.

/watch?v=rWgVrE-Odlc

[marieorlandoe]

Surely one of the greatest series. With the most poetical title sequence ever... I can still remember those words eventhough I never really knew what they meant. I never laughed and cried so much in my entire life.

[cainyx]

m eencanta esta serie...

[porlyporl]

I DON'T wish they made a season three...it wouldn't be the same without Ernst-Hugo.

Brilliant BRILLIANT show!

Danskjävlar, jag älskar er!!

[DjurslandsEfterskole]

I wouldn't like them to make at season more. Though, I would love to know how it was supposed. There is so much mystery in the "last" episode, and I want to know what happens next. Iiih. If only like. The script or a little resume, it would be awesome.

[martinmannen1982]

dom skulle inte ens gjort en andra uppföljare egentligen,första serien var verkligen PERFEKT,anda säsongen hade sina små fel,lars von trier själv var väldigt missnöjd,man ska alltid sluta när man är på topp,dessutom dog ernst-hugo 2-3 dar efter sista avsnitter inspelats så ni har ingen svenskjävel att reta er på längre hehe

[angstjager]

i wish that they made season three :'(

[HeavyVanilla]

Riget er fandme intet mindre end genialt.

Både skræmmende og hylende morsomt på samme tid. Lars von Trier er sgu' genial!

5+!

[zzzmartin92]

det værker som det vi danskere kan være stolte af. elsker den serie

[jaforsatan]

The problem with the translation of the title is that you don't get the double sense of another world and, what would be better tranlated as The Royal (a not uncommon title for a hospital, as in The Royal Infirmary, or whatever). The Kingdom definitely sounds way more King. First series was brilliant. I thought that as soon as Lars got involved in explaining stuff a bit more then it was less misterious.

[Aaberg123]

I used to study physics right next to "Riget", and my mom used to work there :D

[lennyslen]

love the original better than Stephen Kings Kingdom Hospital.. i am a stephen fan but Lars was better . . .

[assi1112]

@lennyslen Stephen King is no fucking king compared to Lars von Trier. Stephen King goes Stephen LOOOOOOOSER!!!!

[celornis]

Riget er virkelig noget Danmark kan være stolt over, Lars von Trier ved virkelig hva' okkult er ^^

Dogme film rules!

[DoofeUnikate]

with twin peaks the best series ever!

[KlasBenny]

Agree!

[MandelbudetReturns]

Annevig Schelde Ebbe?! Hun er stemmen bag Brandy i Brandy & Hr. Vimse.

[runn1ng]

I am afraid I dont understand you :)

[gladdrengen]

I said: The girl who playing the ghost girl, is today the danish voice of Brandy in Brandy & Mr. Whiskers.

[barloese]

Er det da ikke Laura Christensen?

[MandelbudetReturns]

Nej da! Annevig Schelde Ebbe lægger stemme til Brandy. Du har vel ikke kigget Wikipedia? Der på siden med Brandy og Hr. Vimse er der lidt fejl.

[barloese]

Så er det vidst noget andet jeg tænker på!

[DjurslandsEfterskole]

You're kidding! That is terrible, Brandy's voice is so.. Eww. =/

[Weitug]

@MandelbudetReturns Hun lægger også stemme til Yugioh, Pokemon, Ed, ed og eddy, toy story Pixelin og mere,

[92af]

Riget er langt bedre end alle de her serier som du nævnte

[Barl3000]

What is sung in the intro tune is just gibberish Latin, I have the dvds where Von Trier explains it :-)

[runn1ng]

it is certainly not only latin, because at one point (near the end) they sing "one two three for five six seven" :)

[Idjitz]

And there's also the line "O Death, where is thy sting?" repeated in English.

[KellytheBohemian]

yeah, and somewhere they just sing 'rectum'! And 'etc'! xD

[simiantelligent]

@runn1ng Also you hear "Oh death where is thy sting".

[superkarla42]

some of it is latin, some is danish gibberish latin, some english and some gibberish: gloria in tabula mors ave ferrum spes unica one-two-three-four-five-six-se­ven oh death, where is thy sting la dee da dee, la dee da dee oh death, where is thy blessed sting r-e-c-t-u-m rectum speculum et cetera ave ferrum spes unica oh death, where is thy sting læg ti læs kul i to rum morituri te salutant

[PrincessAhiru]

@runn1ng Yeah, there's some english thrown into it.

[DJLorenzen]

Den indledning er bare så herre fed.

[runn1ng]

sorry, i dont understand :-(

[DJLorenzen]

Ok :-)

I'm just saying that, this intro IMO is wickedly awesome! ^^

[desgr14]

riget rocks!!!

[radioheadbanger]

all time fuckin best with e.h.jaregard.r.i.p.

[runn1ng]

yes, rest in peace ....

[Technokrainer]

Thats a Danish Movie,, :)

[xUraharaKisukeSanx]

i just love it

[frenchfear]

very good quality, 5/5

[92af]

I hate The Kingdom

[runn1ng]

Hell why? The 2nd season is much worse than the first one but still it's very very good
