Swedish is such a meme language. I wonder what the point of the movie was. Don’t sleep with your teacher? Don’t spend all your money on alcohol and speculative investments in the price of wool clothing? Maybe that war is horrible? Or is it not to lie to your mother? The throughline could have definitely been stronger. However, because it was filmed in Sweden and set in 1943, it has an unorthodox vibe to it, which I like. 6/10.

I have no idea what the movie was trying to convey. Also, what was the ending? I don’t get it. The best thing about this movie was its outro song (If somebody finds it, please send it to me). 4/10.

I had to watch this movie because of the name. The cinematography is notable, it has some really nice scenes, though it’s quite strange to see two men fighting for their lives while Indian music is on full blast in the background. Is this indian John Wick? Also the soundtrack could have been more coherent, they used too many different genres.

Aside from that, it’s your classic action-revenge movie. Solid, but nothing groundbreaking. 6/10.

Zhao Gao was a chinese politician, who died at 207 BC. There is an interesting anecdote about him

Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, “Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?” Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly. Thereafter the officials were all terrified of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao gained military power as a result of that.
