criticism
In Scandinavia it in terms of "black humor" like a number and nothing but - allegedly - evil. In recent years, incest, racism, euthanasia and impediments to "platforms" of ethical discourse. Films like "idiot" (FD 33 631) and "Elling" (FD 35 384) or the almost forgotten "Miffo" (fd 36 6809), "The Green Butchers" (fd 36 640) and "Adam's Apples" (fd 37 779) ventured a slightly different perspective on social and ethical conflicts. Now comes with "The Art of Negative Thinking "is a subgenre of the late stragglers, who like a fairly inspired variation of" One Flew Over the Cuckoo excludes Nest "(fd 19 710).
The story is quite simple: The young Invild the waves of self-pity of her paraplegic since an accident husband Geirr sorry. Geirr, early 30s does not realize his destiny as an opportunity, but is mischievous, listen all day long songs by Johnny Cash, I watch war movies and consumed to a joint after another. Surely not a nice fellow! But why after an accident with such consequences, or be a nice fellow? This is not the fellow citizens bothered! But social workers are responsible, such as Tori, which holds a group of very different people with disability due to permanent brain washing in a good mood. The world, her motto is, well, if only they were "right" look. Tori, the propagandist of the art of positive thinking, has set up a group-dynamic regime of terror, was dragged from Geirr successfully in the shortest possible time. Geirr can not even to "the positive" one, but infiltrated the professionally cheerful group of handicapped people, with its nihilistic evil.
This is quite amusing, but not full-filling, which is why director and screenwriter Bard Breien tried to give the disabled supporting cast a little biographical outline. There is Asbjorn, who is paralyzed and mute after a stroke. He will learn in the course of the film talk and walk again. There is the wonderfully learned to live after a climbing accident paralyzed Marte, whose husband Gard with the consequences (s) of a small mistake. The bit of paralysis can affect this relationship is not enlightened, especially since a bad conscience is in play. At least not as long as the disabled people are under the spell of Tori. An evening with Geirr, lots of alcohol, Gruppenkiffen, evil truths that are finally making a once and a little Russian Roulette brings verve to the group until all life lies, pragmatic faith healer land and basic interests are open on the table. Should we even tell you that of course just Tori, the most fundamental problems? Absolutely predictable, the film drags then, staged in a small room like a stage play. Of course it's not just about people with disabilities, but about social ideologies, that restriction should be placed on constant positivity as an attitude in question. For this to work, you have to sometimes just "incorrect" Veteran and look behind the facade of the spa-terrorism. Remains open, however, if not by permanent self-self-on-the-shoulder-tap for their own courage to be eingerannt incorrectness open doors. If you switch the "lower classes Television" one, there must also serve the "enemy image" of the ruling "political correctness" as an alibi of his own misanthropy. Anyone who writes on the radical breaking taboos own flags reveals, at first very much about himself. Do you have to actually go to the movies to understand that physical disability is a genuine suggestion? Ulrich Kriest (filmdienst 19/2008)
