Personally, I really liked the movie as its based on true events which makes it alot more believable. The acting wasw suerb, but I have one problem with the movie - the ending.
The problem is mainly on a personal level, because I personally think Northern Ireland should be granted independence from England as it was annexed and we don't live in the 18th century anymore, so obviusoly England, no matter how much it hurts their stuck up pride should let go of old colonies.
And ofcourse this isn't very relevant to the ending, but my track of thought derives from that opinion. I do not think that the mother should have taken him off the hunger strike. He made that choice, and I think that martyrdom, considering the situation was the only rational decision they could make, and it would have ended the conflict if all the 10 inmates actually died. So from a rational point of view, it was wrong to let him off the strike without his consent.
Also, if we are to get ideological here, the fact that she derives him of his own choice just doesn't sit very well with me. If there's anything I ahte its peple who think they know whats best for me, better than me.
Anyway thats my 2 cents, although I really enjoyed the movie this is the only problem I had with it.
All glory to George!

Assignment #6: Funny Joke
A german sat at a bar. Bellman* came in and said
- I'll bet you 1 dollar I can drink your beer without touching the glass!
- Okay, said the german.
Bellman took the glass and chugged it down.
- You owe me a dollar! said the german.
- Here you go, said Bellman and handed him the dollar. And thanks for the cheap beer you idiot!
*Bellman is a really Swedish thing, he was a troubadour in the late 1800th century and has been made into a legend, mostly through his songs but also through incredibly dumb jokes. Anyway, most of them are really bad but I actually found this one pretty good.

Assignment 4
I am hereby going to share the best moment I have had in recent times.
This is an easy one, and although this is not very present, as it happened about a little less than a year ago, I can't think of anything else so... too bad.
The last derby against Djurgården, I think it was sometime in late october. It was quite cold but ones the flares got going and the beer started flowing this was not a problem. As I mentioned I was pretty drunk so I dont remember much but the things I do remember are flares, screaming and winning over the monkeys from Skansen with 3-0. Even better was that the pathetic banana eaters, when the 3-0 goal was scored, by none other than Sulan*, nearly half of the Djurgården fans went home.
Pathetic, you support a team in both victory and hard times. And naturally it felt good seeing them admit to being terrible supporters.
Without exaggerating, one of the best days in my life.
* Sulan is a player who has played in my club for 10 years, and for 9 years he never ever scored. The first time was earlier in the year against another rival club, AIK, and his second one against the monkeys.
