First of all, this movie has great landscapes, great location. I really like the sceneries. Anyway, this movie is about a troubled child Christian (William Jøhnk Nielsen) whom her mother dead because of cancer and live with his father Claus (Ulrich Thomsen) and got misunderstood about his mother's dead, that's why he hates his father. Meanwhile, his friend Elias (Markus Rygaard) with his about to divorce parents but still in contact, is a loner and victim of bully in his school. His parents works as doctor, his father works in Africa. This movie tells you about two different point of view. The humanity, love, caring, peaceful side which pictured by Anton (Mikael Persbrandt) whom everyday deals with victims of crime or murderers in Africa, most of them are kids. The other point of view is about violence, rage, vengeance, who pictured by Christian, a kid who misunderstood about her mother's dead, whom finally revealed the truth.
The scenes mostly display sadness, pain, sympathy, i love how real the actors emotions are, even as a little kid, William Jøhnk and Markus Rygaard play so effortlessly in the characters. The most outstanding performance in this movie goes to Mikael Persbrandt. And the whole story about humanity in this movie is astonishing, no wonder why this movie won an Oscar. Susanne Bier wins my heart again.
I have to admit actually I don't really like Christian's character, but that's why I said he was good because he made me hate the character. Because it was so real. Great casts by the way!
I figured out the meaning of it's title and it's wonderful. Like, your life before something really happened, but then it made you a better person, a whole different peaceful situation, how a bad accident made your life better. And then they live in a better world.
