In semitic mythology the fallen angel (known as Satan) loved God. He loved God so much that when God created a man and asked Satan to bow to him, Satan refused. He'd kneel only in front of God himself and nobody else. That is why God casted Satan out. So if we follow through this mythology, Satan is God's most loyal servant, although misguided.

In many cases literature (Faust, Paradise Lost...) has recognized Satan as a sympathetic, deeply troubled figure. In the movie Silent Hill, Satan is portrayed extremely sadistic but also like a person who knows what it's like to be bullied. That is why Satan identifies so much with the unjustly accused little girl. And that is why Satan understands the mother too. In fact, Satan condemns people in this film in the same way like Jesus condemned those heretics in Jerusalem. The difference of course is that the motivation of Satan's actions comes from the girl's hatred. Hatred is Satans's fuel that burns as it's shown metaphorically in the movie.

The movie leaves you with a certain kind of justified feeling of Satan's maneuvers. I mean, I would like to believe that Satan prefers the most harvesting among the people who justify their evil actions with God's will. If you think this way, Satan does God's dirty work. With the kind of people as our leaders today, at least we should hope so.

This movie is the worst film I'we ever seen. I tried to see it three times but fell asleep EVERY TIME (so you can't blame me for trying). I did this to try to understand this film and maybe find the hidden wisdom behind it all. Needless to say, I never found it. This movie tries to be crazy, smart and innovative but ends up to be unbelievable boring and idiotic. The movie is a waste of money and talent. I consider "Barfly" being a smart movie, "Eternal sunshine of a spotless movie" a crazy movie and "Fight club" an innovative movie, "Breakfast of champions" didn't live up to any of these good qualities. If you are planning to rent this movie, read a book instead.

This Swedish movie is a genuine comedy gem. It already has become a cult- movie among my friends.

It's a story about a group of single Swedish men who attend an arranged trip to Estland to find themselves love and companionship. Nothing seems to go as planned on this trip. The film builds up to an absolutely chaos at a remote hotel in Talinn. Specially Robert Gustafsson puts out a memorable performance.

The film is full of fine details that absolutely cracks you up! I recommend this film to everyone who appreciates good comedy with a tragical twist.

I give this film 10/10
