Although I was sceptical about watching a movie that was completely in Swedish, I decided to give “A Man Called Ove” a chance. Right out of the gate, the film seemed slow and not interesting. As someone who typically enjoys action movies with an exciting, fast pace, it seemed as if choosing this Rose House event was a bad idea. However, as the movie continued and more about the main character’s remarkable past became revealled, the captivating central themes of the film came to the surface. Although the movie was not built on high intensity, it was perfect for communicating the theme of feeling alone. Ove, the main character, consistantly had his close relationships severed throughout his life, often by a tragedy. After being fired from his job, he attempts to commit sucide but each of his attempts are interupted by others needing his help. Throughout the progression of the film, Ove comes to realize how important he truly is to others. The subtleties found in the film contribute to the theme and allow it to communicate a strong message.
