A movie post about the real far north

[oakfarm]

We saw Far North in the asperger group. The movie could perhaps at least partly, be seen as a male (straight male) fantasy told from the point of the woman. If you haven’t seen it, the movie take place in the very north part of Russia. The main character is a woman from the indigenous people and who’s played by Michelle Yeoh, who we uncultivated westerners might know from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Tomorrow never dies. She is cursed or think she is cursed. So she lives alone with one younger woman (Michelle Krusiec) far north, far away from the civilized world. The landscape and the harsh living conditions is one fascinating part of the movie. The last demonstrated in the first scene of them movie when they kill one of their dogs for food.

One day a wounded, white, man (Sean Bean) shows up and the two women take care of him. Here we have the male fantasy. Suddenly find yourself with two women, who looks like movie stars, and who basically haven't seen a man in two decades. At the same time the main character is one of the women, not Sean Bean. Seeing the movie like that, the bisarr and violent ending, that I disliked, serve to take down the male fantasy.

In other news today I traveled down to the school for a meating. I hope I can update soon.

I haven't seen the movie, but since it's Sean Bean and knowing the general fate of the characters he plays, I am gonna take a wild guess and say someone chops his head off? :D

The movie does sound interesting, though, so I'll look into it.

I don't know anything about Sean Beans. I mean I have seen the lord of the rings, but not more.

Oh, the man has quite a good score of playing characters who die, here's the list:
