The Bothersome Man Reviews

The film's main idea is to forget the simple pleasures of being human, to create a surreal wonder where we are offered a perfect society where everyone should have everything you need, but paying a high price, never again enjoy the taste of good coffee, the smell of fresh bread, the rewards of an innovative conversation, the pleasure of orgasm, the fact of being fortunate to live so.

The Bothersome Man (2006) is a disturbing film mixture of what might be called Nordic comedy (if it exists or can be called current) and deep reflection on happiness and the suppression of customs grayer.

From birth we are taught an idea that inevitably accompany us the rest of our lives. The rejection of the small pleasures of life.
Only during a short period of our childhood we enjoy these pleasures that life gives you free and without asking almost nothing in return. The daily goals are: eat, drink, piss, shit, enjoy the company of loved ones and watch the world around you.

The problems come at the beginning of schooling. Getting up early, start learning things begin to nurture yourself with positive or NM (Needs improvement). With eating and toileting, your life is not full. Start, quite superfluous to account to the machinery of society. At the same time, you begin to understand television and you inculcate social and aesthetic values ​​that will accompany you for life. Need, and without knowing why, to be like almost all belong to a group, come up with something.

During childhood, and not taste the fat, ugly either, or short people or different and everything on TV because the kids are all slender, handsome, tall and identical.
The years pass, and the level of demand increase. If you are a student in high school, if you're not, to work on whatever. We have been stratified into three layers, each a "better" than the other but always demands, yes at different levels.

Anyway, the step has befallen you, your life will never be "fully satisfactory". If you are a crack in the studies, you will seek a job that requires the maximum with the stress of course. If you are less crack, half will have a job, perhaps to be comfortable and well paid, but surely you is not woman enough for you, or wish you had a more expensive car or whatever. All well, one after another, each man will always want more, always unsatisfied. No matter what you have, or where, or how, they always want something else.

So learn to enjoy the little things and as the first act, this curious and unknown Norwegian film.
