A good movie

It is another movie that I wanted to watch for so many years. Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if I had been looking for this movie for more or less 20 years. Well, I wish I could say it had been worth the wait. However, even though I did like the damned thing, to be honest, I can’t say I was really blown away though. I mean, sure, it was a solid drama showing the harsh lives of Swedish immigrants trying their luck in Denmark at the end of the 1850’s but there were a couple of things that didn’t really work for me. First of all, there was no real plot but a succession of little dramas involving the different people living in this farm. Of course, you might argue that it provided a more realistic slice of life but it did lack some dramatic punch. Another issue was that, in my opinion, there were also too many characters. As a result, except for Lasse Karlsson, none of them was really developed and, in fact, they were all reduced to a one note characteristic. For example, you had the ugly bastard son, the pretty young girl who gets pregnant, the mean foreman, the fornicating Kongstrup,… The only exception was, as mentioned before, Lasse Karlsson. Indeed, Max von Sydow, the Swedish master, gave here another strong performance. Above all, while this character might be considered weak or even pathetic, I thought he was incredibly human and believable and his flaws made him even more interesting to behold. Basically, he was not an improbable hero but an average and ordinary man who had to face the harsh realities of his life and kept on moving forward anyway and this realistic approach was really appreciated. Anyway, to conclude, even if it didn’t really impress me, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Tell me about it again, papa. It’s very different this new country.
- You’ll hardly…
- You’ll hardly believe your eyes. They put raisins in the pork roastand butter on your bread…Some places they put butter on your bread.- And kids are free all day.
- Yes, Pelle, yes. Wages are so incredibly high, that kids…That kids don’t have to work.
It sounds too good to be true – may be not for you – but imagine what those words meant for a boy who is used to live in a missy , probably due to the hard life he had to live after the death of his mother. As soon as the boat reaches the shore the reality of this new world came out of the dream mist. Finding employment is not as easy especially considering the age of the Pele’s father and the fact that he has a small boy with him. At the end they are offered an employment at a large farm, but find the life would present many challenges to them.
The acting is very good – the young Pelle Hvenegaard who plays the role of Pelle is so good that one can thing that he has a dozen of movies in his carrier and probably that is the reason for which 2 years after the movie is released he wins two award for the Best Young Actor in 1988 at the European Film Awards and for Best Young Actor in a Foreign Film in a Foreign Filmat the young artists awards for his role in Pelle the Conqueror.
I watched this movie with constant hope to see happiness in the eyes of Pelle and the moments in which he felt happy was shining like a real diamonds surrounded by the dust of the harsh live he had to deal with. Although Pelle is often refused friendships from the local Danish boys he shows his good heart befriending a boy who has some physical disability – and their friendship through a little odd at times shows that people can find someone to care for , even in the toughest places.
Pelle the Conqueror is classic movie and although some may thing that the story gets a bit depressing at times I recommend it to anyone who treasure excellent coming of age movies.
