Talk is a short film made in 1997. The protagonist is Birger, a lonely old man. He can't stand loneliness and is always looking for someone to talk to, but without success. He tries to talk to the woman sitting next to him on the bus, but she doesn't take him up on his offer, and he loses her no matter what he says. He also goes out of his way to visit the factory where he retired to talk to his colleagues, but is annoying. On top of this, the canteen staff remembers his name wrongly. He tries to relate to people, but his loneliness only grows.

The film focuses on loneliness, and Birger's loneliness is well portrayed; by portraying Birger's loneliness in a straightforward manner, the pain and fear of loneliness was more palpable. I also felt that the interactions between Birger and the people he speaks to are very realistic and helps the viewer to understand the loneliness Birger feels.

you must look at this short in the context of its director/writers Lukas Moodysson's career, without it he wouldn't have got to make F**king Amal.Actually this short and storyline was actually apart of the first few drafts of the F**king Amal script, the film would have been a slasher flick instead of the touching love story, based around Elin and Jessica finding out that their next door neighbor is a killer, and basically Agnes would have been a sub plot instead of a main character. I for one would like to see that version of the script. the performance of the old lonely man is top notch although the end is a bit over the top, just like a lot of Moodysson's career.

In this short film, the main character is a middle-aged man. When I watch this man, I got a little frustrated. Why? At first, I thought he wants someone who needs him, but his way is too far from that easy simple wish. I think that he wants to control someone. Every time and everywhere, I encountered that kind of people who are always middle-aged men, sometimes mid-aged women and little children. Those people try to bully someone who was weaker than them. Although there is exception, I think people should be equal to each other basically. So this main character is an offensive person. However, turning to myself, am I sometimes like those people? When I watch this, I was frightened that I possibly hurt others in the future when I get older than now.

A man, who has worked at Volvo loses his job and he has nothing to do. He wants to talk with someone but nobody listens to him. He looks so sad because of the loneliness. One day the door chime of his house rings and a young woman stands in front of the door. He invites her in the room and tries to talk her,but she only tells about religious things. The man gets angry and tries to control her and...

The film was produced in 1997 by a Swedish director, Lukas Moodysson. Actually the end of the film is quite shocking and I do not like such kind of ending. However, the performance of the actor who plays the role of the main character made me involved in the film. We can do nothing for the lonely man but we can learn how we should communicate with others from watching the film.

This film is about an old man who lives alone and often feels lonely. First, he is ignored by many people. Second, a woman visits him to have a little chat with him. Finally, he gets hysterical when the woman says she has to go. I think the male actor is good because he can express his character's feelings well. For example, when he expresses his anger, his acting appeals strongly to us. When I saw the scene in which he expresses his strong anger to the woman, I was surprised at his power. To be honest, I don't like the ending of the film because it left a bad taste in my mouth. However, I feel the ending is best for this film when I think about a natural flow of the story. This is because the ending can express how he becomes crazy due to his loneliness.
