Talk (1997)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

To me, this movie is perfection.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

There is an old man in this film. In the first scene, he sits the seat of bus and starts talking with next to him. But she doesn't look fun. When I watched this first scene, I thought the old man likes talking because he talks a lot and he is smile. However, I understood he feel lonely. I felt very sorry for him.I think a lot of people in the same situation as the man in society. After I watched this film, I was scared because loneliness changes people's mind. I thought he is a good man in the middle of this film, but loneliness makes him bad. I can't understand his action because I didn't have experience like him. I was surprised the last scene.

At first, I thought this movie will end happily. However, my view is reserved. I don't know loneliness because I have never experienced it. But if I become the same situation as this man, I will suffer. I have a few questions. Why does one woman visit an old man's house? Why are his town's people curt? So I want to know this man's past, because maybe this man has an unpleasant element and do it to friends. This movie shows human's emotions, because it depicts anger, loneliness,happiness and so on. Through these main character's feelings, I think I should have consideration to everyone. So I could learn connection with people.

It has been observed time and again that despite tremendous technological progress, human beings continue to remain 'social animals' who are able to lead healthy lives only when they establish some kind of social contact with each other. It is not at all a secret that lack of communication has some serious consequences on an individual and a society as a whole. It is for this important reason that communication plays a major role in establishing harmony in a society. This is a positive aspect of communication which Swedish director Lukas Moodysson has depicted in his film in order to make viewers aware of the plight of those people who suffer due to lack of communication especially of something as elementary and vital as a simple 'talk'. Apart from discussing the usefulness of a 'talk', this film also discusses the effects which the lack of employment has on ordinary human beings. It shows that a person adopts a different mental outlook due to the non availability of a job. This is precisely the state of mind of this film's protagonist who is convinced of his hopelessness. Finally, it is this hopelessness which has fatal consequences for a young girl when she comes into contact with this old man.

you must look at this short in the context of its director/writers Lukas Moodysson's career, without it he wouldn't have got to make F**king Amal.Actually this short and storyline was actually apart of the first few drafts of the F**king Amal script, the film would have been a slasher flick instead of the touching love story, based around Elin and Jessica finding out that their next door neighbor is a killer, and basically Agnes would have been a sub plot instead of a main character. I for one would like to see that version of the script. the performance of the old lonely man is top notch although the end is a bit over the top, just like a lot of Moodysson's career.
