Alexander Skarsgård - Att döda ett Barn (To kill a Child) short movie

[BlueRator]

zzzZZZZzzZZzz

[Tangerynn]

I just finished to read the story and it´s amazing. Images are really beautiful, specially when the child is running in the garden, he is lovely. I think it would be better to put english subtitles on the movie. Keep directing, Alex!

[CompanyLego]

Det var ingen ond mann..

[lmDrez]

HEJ HA11A

[NubArts]

vänta det var väl en röd bensin pump

[superjames7100]

Det finns en "lucka" i texten. Vad är det?

[Glassbilen13]

I'm on a boat

[Jontez97]

ok den här "filmen" var fan det sämsta jag sett :) skit film och ungen var ju efterbliven. han kunde ju kolla om det kom en bil innan han sprang ut på väghellvette.

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Skulle du kunna berätta vad som är en bra film, för tydligen så har du en stor kunskap inom film?

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme det finns så många bra filmer och så finns några skit filmer som den här... -.-

och btw varför bryr du dig ens?

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Eftersom att jag stör mig på när folk måste komma med negativa komentarer utan att ge ett konkret argument. Du har fortfarande inte sagt vad som är en bra film, och vad som gör denna till en sådan "dålig" film.

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme , Den här filmen e skit för det är en bögig jävla berättelse/novell... den e fan skit och gå o skaffa ett liv.

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Så du är en homofob?

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme LOL! e du gay elr?

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Nej, men även om jag hade varit de så har de ingenting med någonting att göra. Eftersom att använda ordet bög som ett negativ ord för att beskriva en film som verkligen inte har någon med homosexuallitet är bara omoget. Snälla gör världen en tjänst lär dig hur man beter sig.

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme , du e så jävla mesig, jävla pajjas -.-

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Mesig? På vilket sätt är mitt beteende mesigt? Jag uttalar mig bara om min åsikt,

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme jag orkar fan inte bry mig om dig jävla 40åriga oskuld, nolifer äckelsatans pedofil.

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Jag gillar att du kan få en sån fin beskrivning utav mig utan att ens träffat mig, har du stalkat mig?:)

[Jontez97]

@simonsimme jävla bög sluta tro.

[simonsimme]

@Jontez97 Gör mig en tjänst, ta och lär dig hur man beter sig mot andra människor och gå och lär dig något om kultur. För de min vän är något som du nu inte klarar utav att förstå.

[Ekas12345]

@Jontez97 din jäkla p12:a, du är uppenbarligen inte utvecklad nog för att förstå filmens budskap. Endast outvecklade skitungar använder även bög som en förolömpning. Tips: gå först och främst och utveckla ditt ordförråd, du verkar ju endast ha tillgång till ca. 15 ord(asså, jävla, bög etc.) För det andra, filmen försöker inte visa hur "efterbliven" ungen är, utan snara att man inte bör köra för fort och vara ouppmärksam i traffiken. så gör oss alla en tjänst och håll käften.

[Erikispro]

@Ekas12345 Kunde inte sagt det bättre.

[LinusNeuman]

@Jontez97 Med den attityden och din syn på andra människor kommer du komma långt...

[Erikispro]

@Jontez97 Du döper dig själv 97, så vi vet din ålder. Patetisk du är. Snälla lämna sidan.Du är helt enkelt för ignorant för att förstå vad filmen säger. Har du ens läst novellen?

[Jontez97]

@Erikispro  nej, jag har inte läst någon skitnovell, vi skulle se den här på en svenska lektion....-.- spela roll om jag e född 97? den här videon suger ändå lika mke kuk.

[abitofjiggerypokery]

vet någon vart man kan se Att döda ett barn från 1953?

[Wendel922]

vi såg denna när jag gjorde riskettan på trafikskolan, alla blev stumma.

[AlexHalo3Player]

this is depressing.....

[Valtervaruna]

Oh boaaa..that's heavy...never wanna be in that situation..never!

[juliarosex]

His younger brother is so cute!

[gangsten1]

den e jätte gullig ;D

[leirikhol]

jag har tankat ööööööööööö

[julianlover195]

I was just looking at that little boy and thinking, "Wow, Alex really likes to cast people who look just like him, doesn't he?" Then I saw that the little boy was played by Valter Skarsgard, Alex's little brother, and it all made sense.

[thelittlesweetone]

Alexanders lillebror Valter spelar den lille pojken som dör.. :)

[austriangirl33]

OMG! Such an amazing, touching, thoughtful short film.

Is Stellan Skarsgard the narrator?

Thanks for posting it and for the subtitles.

[bluespot13]

Den här korta filmen borde vara obligatorisk att visa för ALLA dom som ta körkort

[mrkaboom93]

@bluespot13 de e den... läs på lite va!

[oxoree1]

zzzzzzzzzzzz.....

[Phernille]

I've read this story at school, I had no idea Alexander and Björne directed this !

[ashkenaz]

Thank you so much for posting this, and to those who kindly provided translations.

Has anyone else noticed how terribly Skarsgård and Larsson butcher Dagerman's beautiful text? All of its delicate complexity—gone!

[ShoshieViolin]

Sub:

and who send her child across the road to borrow some

as bad, it heals the anguish of a once happy man who killed it

for the one who has killed a child does not go to the sea

the one who has killed a child goes slowly home in silence

in it's nights' dreams, it will wish to get a single minute of it's life back

to make a single minute different

but so ruthlessly is the life of a person who has killed a child

that everything later is

too late

[ShoshieViolin]

Sub:

and the last minute of a child's life, this child's parents sit in a kitchen and wait for the sugar

and the child itself can close a gate and go out on a road with a few sugar cubes

and for the whole last minute nothing else see than a calm sea with large fishes and a wide row boat with silent oars

later, everything is too late. For it's not true that time heals all wounds

time doesn't heal a killed child's wounds

and it heals badly the pain of a mother who forgot to buy sugar

[ShoshieViolin]

Sub:

this is not an evil man, he's just in a hurry to the sea

he would not make a wasp, yet he shall soon kill a child

the woman plays that she will not look before she sees the sea

she dreams in harmony with the car's soft bumps on how blank it shall be

for so ruthlessly is the life that one minute before a happy man kills a child, he is still happy

before a woman screams in terror, she can close her eyes and dream about the sea.

[ShoshieViolin]

Sub:

The mother tells her child to run over to the neighbor to borrow a few pieces of sugar, and while the child opens the door the father shouts after it to hurry

For the boat is waiting on the beach and they shall row as far out as they had never rowed before

When the child then runs over the garden it thinks of the sea and the boat, the fishes that strikes

And no one whispers to it that it only has four minutes to live

That the boat will lie where it lies all that day and many other days

[ShoshieViolin]

Subtitles:

It is the happy morning of an evil day.

For this day shall a child be killed by a happy man

There was no shadow in the kitchen, but still stands the man that will kill the child at a white gas pump.

The man and this woman shall go to sea. And at the sea, they are going in a boat and row far, far out.

It falls no shadow over the car. and the shiny paint has no dents on it, nor is it red with blood.

[EsbenMr]

This is amazing! Wish it was better quality.

[DeadRedRose1]

Det är ju Fan int alls Alexander det är hans lillebror Valter som spelar barnet!!!!!

'' It's not Alexander it's his younger brother Valter who plays the kid!!!!!!!''

[Sejken]

@DeadRedRose1

Alexander is one of the two directors

[Gertrude898]

@lollopisemis The "book" is actually a short story written by Stig Dagerman, a great swedish author. Everyone likes different things, but the fact that you watched this because of a celebrity beeing in it just shows how much you care about such an inportant thing as a child beeng killed and the fact that this story saved many lives.

[lollopisemis]

@Gertrude898 I did watch it because of a celebrity. I do care for children being killed and the fact that the story has saved many lives. Believe me, I do. But I actually didn't get the meaning with the book. I barely watched the video to be honest because I thought it was just as weird as the book and I'm known for saying things I don't intend to. Thank you for making me see the point with the book, though I still doubt I will ever like it, it makes me positive that it has affected people.

[dannegardefelt]

This is a touching story

[krisnord06]

I remember reading this story in school. It is so well written and horrible at the same time. It deserved to be told in a movie. Thanks to all the participants! Feels like a production from the Skarsgård family with three members participating in it.

[thenakedandfamousfan]

I LOVE this short story! He is such a great writer! I can just listen to this over and over again ! I must have read the story a hundred times !

[Yoargentina84]

The car should be blue!!!



[FallingPotatoes]

@11marijoha Samme her cx

[digitalni]

This was based on a novel called "Att döda ett barn" written by Stig Dagerman. You can read the text anywhere, simply google the title. I am positive that this novel and the film saved many lives.

[legotorn]

@digitalni It was actually made​in purpose to get people to drive more carefully.

[ImmortalSalvatore]

Go skandinaviere! :D

Vi er for seje. d:

[simsxD]

@ImmortalSalvatore yes sir!

[vilendude]

var fan är blodet!!!!

[MorecTheMoron]

There's one big diffrence in this one from the novell, other than that - it's as close as to perfect you can come; the car is... blue, not red

[simsxD]

@MorecTheMoron *short story

[MyArcticDreams]

I'm learning Swedish, but I'm new at. My friend linked me to this. I'm not used to someone talking that face paced. Is there any place that has the Swedish subtitles for this, or just a hunk of text lying around on the internet that is like the script for this?

[elskerikke]

Jeg elsker at lytte til stellan skarsgårds oplæsning. Men fortællingen giver jo kuldegysninger!

[Arjanajanath]

The writer that made me read "real" litterature!

[BloodyBrilliant90]

Bilen är ju blå i novellen, svårt att skaffa en blå bil? vrf har de ändrat texten?

[KatieKaboom21]

The little boy is Valter Skarsgard; Alexander's brother.

[maytrows]

I hope it helps, and sorry for any mistakes or bad grammar.

[maytrows]

0:50

It is the happy morning of an evil day.

For this day a child will be killed by a happy man.

1:05

There was no shadow over the kitchen.

Yet stands the man who will kill a child at a white gaspump.

1:25

The man and the young woman is about to go to the sea, there they will borrow a boat and row far, far out.

[judyjude]

@maytrows a very good translation :)

[maytrows]

1:40

No shadow falls over the car and the glossy coating has no dents, neither is it red of blood

1:56

The mother tells her child to run over to the neighbour and borrow some bits of suger.

2:05

While the child opens the door the father urges him to hurry up becuase the boat is waiting at the beach and they will row farther out then they have ever rowed before

2:21

When the child the runs through the garden he thinks of the ocean, the boat and fish that breach.

[maytrows]

2:30

No one whispers to it that it will only have four more minutes to live.

The boat will stay where it is at that entire day,

and many other days.

2:47

He isn't an evil man, he is just in a hurry to get to the sea.

He would not hurt a fly but he will still, soon kill a child.

3:00

The woman play that she will not open her eyes until she can sees the ocean.

She dreams in rythm with the soft motion of the car, how peacefull the mirrored surface of the sea will be.

[maytrows]

3:15

For this is how unmercifull life can be, one minute before a cheerfull man is to kill a child he is still happy

3:28

Before a woman screams in horror, she can close her eyes and dream of the ocean

3:45

In the last minute of a child's life his parents can sit in a kitchen and wait for sugar.

3:58

The child itself can close a gate and start walking over a road with some bits of sugar. During that last minute see nothing...

4:11

but a calm sea with big fish and a wide boat with silent oars.

[maytrows]

4:58

Afterwards everything is to late.

For it is not true that time will heal all wounds.

Time will not heal a killed child's wounds and badly it will heal the pain of a mother who forgot to buy suger and sent her child over the road.

Just as badly will it heal the anxiety of the once cheerfull man who killed it.

[maytrows]

5:35 Becuase he who has killed a child does not go to the sea, one who has killed a child slowly goes home in silence

5:45 In his night's dreams he will wish for one single minute of his life back.

To do this one single minute differently but life is unmercifull for one who has killed a child in that everything afterwards is to late.

[euginam91]

he should direct, but I guess he looks to good to be behind the camera

[Iatgotg]

is there any version posted anywhere or available for download with subtitles in english german or french?

[iceass01]

Swedens two highest awarded actors is in this movie, Stellan Skarsgård as the narriator and Alexander Skarsgård as the driver.

The movie makes you think, you dont need to understand the voice to understand the message,

driving to fast may kill innocent children..

[Laraischibi]

@iceass01 That's not really the message, it's more in the sense that one moment in ones life can change you so dramatically

[booknplays]

You do not need to speak Swedish to understand most of this film. The images tell is all. But read the short story it is based on, online. It would be nice to have it narrated in English tho....

I think it is an interest choice for Alex to chose as his first time directing.

[themeankanin]

we read this short story in school, didn't know they had the same story in sweden

[jagcf]

ha, ha halva skarsgårdsfamiljen är ju med, Alex, Valter, Stellan, Sam, My...filmen var sorlig dock.

[coldplay108]

Thank god I understand Swedish (: is it just me, or have i heard him narrate other things?

[Stabiloten]

feta föräldrar som skickar sitt barn o göra något :(

[trynedittt]

read the novel at school.

[MonaStahlin]

Riskettan!

[tokyomonamour1]

Detta är häpnadsväckande!! Alexander är inte bara ett vackert ansikte.

[Momarorianonnone]

Husker vi leste denne novellen på ungdomskolen. Den gjorde inntrykk hos mange. Den var i en novellesamling..

[MagnusLindblOOm]

Stig Dagerman var ett geni. Novellen "Att döda ett barn" är ett av många bevis på det.

[dealerovski82]

@MagnusLindblOOm Hade kunnat skriva något liknande själv. inte så imponerande

[MagnusLindblOOm]

@dealerovski82 Säger grandios personlighet dig något??

[dealerovski82]

@MagnusLindblOOm eller så betyder det att du talar med en talangfull människa

[MagnusLindblOOm]

@dealerovski82 Hade du varit så begåvad som du påstår är jag övertygad om att du hyllat Stig Dagerman. Få svenska författare kommer ens i närheten av hans språk.

[dealerovski82]

@MagnusLindblOOm Jag gjorde faktiskt ett arbete om honom på gymnasiet i Svenska B

[breeandsparkle]

Is there a version with subtitles?

[ericnfan]

so sad.

[IAmTheBigFatLoser]

Jonas Sjöqvist är så bra i Orestien! APOLLON FTW!

[kingjorgen1]

f@il

[legostudion]

hehe yeah jag känner både alex, stellan, valter (barnet) och resten i familjen skarsgård...

[martybarty]

I remember reading this novell is shcool, and I bursted into tears. Alexander did a great job directing it. Hearts from Norway <3 :')

[jeppe1208]

@martybarty

Meget gay!

[matsern44]

hehe halla alle sammen hilsen matsern!!! ^^

[Colaglass]

du er gay

[kraaka94]

Jeg hørte/leste denne på skolen. Den beste novellen jeg noen gang har hørt.

Elsker den.

[WettX]

Den var riktigt bra gjord. Det var så sorgsen stämning genom hela filmen och spänningen byggdes upp så perfekt. Väldigt tänkvärd också...

[acechemist10]

cinematography was really good but needs english subtitles or translation than I would understand it better

[Attkomande]

Not bad, but hardly great. The voice over was very good, but that's really more because Dagerman's text is so powerful and the story sad. The film is pretty good, but it doesn't really add anything to the text. Still, it probably does serve well to introduce a wonderful author to those who don't usually read.

[CindysVideos]

I could appreciate this film a lot more if I could understand it. I looks great but I really wish it had English subtitles :(

[megustaverlas]

It runs in the family!!

[emle94]

I've met that Child. He is one year younger than me. :F

[dracognia]

The kid is disgusting and makes me sick (he's suppose to be cute), and it doesn't have the genius of the short story, but otherwise this is an okay adaption

[iisabelt]

så himla fin, ska illustrera novellen i svenskan, blir svårt.

nån som kände igen storebrorsan i eva o adam som va mannen som ska döda ett barn?

[benj008]

Eric from True Blood did this? Suck that Edward cullen, you talentless vampire! no pun intended

[rockindiva82]

Lol...ur comment is so TRUE!!

[VicSorrow]

yeah, very TRUE (blood)!!!

[animestaars]

he didnt write the story~!!

[soouphie]

@OleBerdal93 The kid is his brother. And Alexander's dad is Stellan Skarsgård, you know, Bootstrap Bill from Pirates of the Caribbean..

[DennizTomato]

Jag såg den här i skolan i högstadiet. Den e hemsk.

[ShadowPanther93]

..Wow. Its sad.. And just wow.

[letsknit2gether]

Such a sweet and sad film. Excellent cinematography. Must have been a wonderful project to do with the family. Would love if Stellan could re-record the narration in English.

[iminlovewithian4ever]

OH so this isnt alex but his lil bro?

[julieta92]

how sad...

[bonjolie1971]

I wish it had subtitles. I need to learn Swedish.

[judyjude]

@bonjolie1971 I think you might find the short story in english.

[Fridah89]

Den här visa dom på riskettan när jag skulle ta mitt körkort... så hemsk...

[Auroron]

Den var ganske lol

[RockingAmigo]

idiot

[Auroron]

ah :(

[MeggieCook]

thanks so much for posting this

[spongebobslushpants1]

His little brother's so cute!

But this is really sad.. :(

[lrpv1688]

his little brother is soo cute!

[LeFey25]

man.... that's just depressing

[viewer563]

That's Scandinavian! Experts at tragedy.

[ooshadygirloo]

i love how this was a family effort

[BuffyIvan]

Stig Dagerman is a wonderful author

[IWhentOut]

Alexander sounds so much like his father Stellan. I didn't read the description and thought Alex was narrating.

such a sad movie.

[uttermannengrodan]

väldigt stark! både filmen och novellen

[stephisteti]

Is that Alexander as a little boy. I am in love.

[GreenCAT82]

It's his little brother, Valter.

[Barbalaalaa]

No. As you can se in the description this was made 2003. And Alexander was the writer and director.

[TjurenProductions]

no actually it's Valter Skarsgård :)

[londonfreak1234]

that is his little brother

[chocolytesprynkles]

no that's his little brother Valter.

[marlonbrando2]

Totalt meningslös filmatisering av en redan filmisk novell.

[derfpa1]

Du kan nog ta vilken ungdom som helst idag som hällre ser en film på youtube än läser en novell, så ur det avseendet är det bra.

[EmmaSElisabet]

Då räknar du säkert inte med att det finns de som ibland uppskattar film mer än bok. Och det vore väl synd om de gick miste om berättelsen. Bättre att sprida saker på många sätt så att lågan att upptäcka mer kanske tänds hos fler. Eller hur?

[Lavendel93]

We saw this movie at my school, I think it's really good. It's was shown in a class about safety in traffic..

[thegtagamerz]

lol!

[hopplacowboy]

har läst denna novellen.

[Stellanlover]

WoooW

Valter , and Stellan´s voice and Alexsander IT'S ASUM! <3

[MINDGHOSTS]

lol :p ok, vet inte vad jag lolar över, finns egentligen inget roligt i detta ;o riktigt stark film, men ack så annorlunda från novellen (som jag egentligen inte gillade men som man ändå sitter här och jämför med, av nån anledning).

[Bloomschick]

Wow. That was powerful.

[svirginiak]

i luv Stellan's voice...very moving short movie..and thanks for the link for the translation

[kuhjunge16]

I like the narrator's voice which seems oddly detached, yet kind in the light of the horrific event displayed here. Reminded me of "Dogville" by Lars von Trier.

On the other hand, the short would have worked well without the narration since there is no dialogue at all anyway. The pictures speak strongly for themselves. Would have been interesting.

The little boy is cute as a button. The score it beautiful too.

[nosnasmedia]

Its narrated by his father Stellan skarsgård, Im almost certain.

[SkarsgardChannel]

If you would click the "more info"-link in the grey box on the right of the video you would find a description of the short movie and the information, that it is narrated by Stellan Skarsgård and that the child is played by Alex's little brother Valter...

So now you can be absolutely certain. ;o)
