i also highly recommend The Class, another great North European film about bullying, from Estonia, that film is VERY disturbing though, but very, very important, deserves it 18-rating

@vaultkeeper2 Ive heard of the Class, as we have discussed it before. Its on my wishlist, looking forward to it :)

You pronounced the Swedish title perfectly! Great movie!

[SpannersGerm669]

@vaultkeeper2 hahaha, thats awesome that i nailed it ... sometimes i do, sometimes i am waaaaay off, which makes it a lot of fun ... yes, totally agree with you that this film was great!!! ... thanks for stopping by my friend!

@SpannersGerm669 Swedish is quite simular to English so its not surprising that you get to pronounce it right sometimes, Swedish is way more simular to English than it is to German.

This movie also does some good criticism on the Swedish school system, cause some Swedish schools does give A LOT authority to the older students cause they expect the older students to be well educated and to have an adult behaviour, which unfortuently isnt always the case

@vaultkeeper2 Yes, well it was a very dodgy school system in the film. Very very good one!

Always fun to hear you try Scandinavian, mate. ;)

Haven't seen Ondskan, but it sounds really interesting!

@DrHasslein it is quite an in-depth topic. There are so many different kinds of bullying and each and every kind can be very destructive, whether its school yard bullying, generalising, physical, psychological, all kinds ... i could talk about this for hours. The film really is an important one and a very well made one at that!
