Danish Film Review

As I said before (yesterday), I was planning to see the 2008 Danish film "Flammen og Citronen". And I did. It was pretty nerve racking since it took a lot of effort to get the tickets (running back and forth from school and the venue) but managed to get the tickets on the day which was amazing considering that over half the tickets were sold out from the day before. I wouldn't have guessed that so many people wanted to see it...! But got a good seat near the front so kicked back and watched the movie. So today's raid will be a film review for "Flammen og Citronen"!!

Raid 15: "Flammen og Citronen" Review
The summary taken from Wikipedia:
Flame & Citron (Danish: Flammen & Citronen) is a Danish Drama/Action movie from 2008. The director and co-writer of the movie is Ole Christian Madsen. The movie is based on actual events and eye-witness accounts of two of the most active resistance fighters in the Holger Danske resistance group during World War II, Bent Faurschou-Hviid (known as Flame) and Jørgen Haagen Schmith (known as Citron), who both died during the war.

Because I'm really bad at summing up a description for movies. -_-; But yes, I never watch WWII themed movies since it's always depressing and I would normally rather watch something fictional but considering it's a Danish (+Czech Republic + German)film and I'm annoying patriotic about Denmark and it had good reviews, I thought I've give it a go. And it was totally worth it.
The cinematography is fantastic with interesting camera angles and character profiles. The actors who played Bent and Jørgen were amazing. They portrayed their roles very nicely with a mix of good acting and good looks (lol) and you could relate to how the characters were feeling. It's a bit weird saying that since it's based on a true story....
The soundtrack was beautifully done capturing the essence of that time. Also the fast and slow music were pieced together into the cinematography well so you didn't feel out of place and confused because of the music when watching it.
It was thrilling all the way through (as you would expect in a war themed movie)and you never knew what to expect, unless you had previously known about the event. If not, the only obvious thing was that they would eventually be killed.
It was all in Danish and German with English subtitles (which can be a pain in the ass if you know the languages or you're afraid the translation are wrong, which is how I felt). I understood some of the basic Danish and German that was spoken... Kinda. And found a real funny typo in the subs: 'Location: North Sealand' ....Sealand? Oh god. I guess it looked too similar to 'Nord Sjelland' and they got confuddled. xD Also 'Ja tak!' was translated into 'Leave us!' ...Hmm. Makes sense in context but whether it's direct is another question.
This is turning into a language critic fest so I'll leave it with a score:
9/10. Definitely. It's so good that I'm planning to buy the DVD from Ebay. And I'm really stingy with money so it's a big deal. xD

... Which reminds me, I want to buy that Dansk Design book too.
