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.

A man lives alone. Although he has already retired from company, he talks to people that he is working at the company. And he goes to the company every day. He telephones to some people at random to talk. One day, a missionary comes his house. And the man let her come into his room. The man has nothing to do and nobody to talk with. He is isolated, but he wants to control people. This film depicts a human nature affected by isolation. You can see his real nature as the plot develops. We don't know what triggers an explosion of other people's feeling. His real nature is revealed by meeting the missionary. I think it is scary but interesting. I like this film.
An old man sits on the seat next to a girl student on a bus. His name is Birger Andersson. He talks to her. But she does not actively talk with him. He says that he works a good company 'Volvo'. Actually he goes to the company to work. However, he is ignored by colleagues. Even the cook of the dining room does not communicate him. He is alone. He feels lonely so much. How much does he feel lonely? I image his loneliness; however, my image is not more than his loneliness. After he returns his home, one girl comes to his house. I am surprised that an old and a lonely man chooses action. I am also surprised by her action. Recently, aging society is accelerating in developed countries. This movie perhaps give a lot of people aging society's problems and makes people think about many positive or negative products which aging society create. I also am thought about aging society and single life with loneliness of old people by this movie. This movie is able to say the film that gives the society of the problem with the surprise to people who see.
There is an old man who seems to be retired from car company. He seems he doesn't have his own family, and being alone all day. Since he wants to talk with someone, he sometimes go to his previous work place, but workers say not to come. Moreover, in order to talk, he calls many people at random, and a woman comes to his house to talk about her country. He is happy to have a person to talk with, but he gets angry easily, so the woman comes to be afraid of him. What will happen in the ending? Before watching everything, I expected how it will end. My idea is kind of right, but it has more surprising ending! I wish there were no men like him in a real world.
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.
